We design, construct and install bridges that take all your forestry concerns into account. We have vast experience working alongside forestry companies to meet your operational needs while balancing health & safety, regulatory, environmental and consent demands. Engaging with bridge experts upfront will ultimately save you time and money as your trees mature and harvest approaches. Our streamlined project management and forest industry expertise will deliver the most cost-effective solution for your block.
We know bridge construction inside and out including all forestry rules and regulations. We’ll take care of every aspect – leave it to us.
Our bridges suit your unique forest block and are built to last. They’ll safely carry the heavy load required and will withstand a 1-in-50 year flood at a minimum (and often double that).
Timing is key in forestry. We can work to the tightest of timeframes and will have your bridge in place where and when you need it.
We provide a seamless process tailored to the unique needs of the forestry industry. Whether you need support for specific phases of your project or assistance throughout the entire project, we are here to help. Our services range from providing estimates for future forestry bridges and offering innovative solutions like relocatable bridges to design-only services. Our goal is to ensure your project is delivered efficiently and effectively, always keeping your operational objectives in mind.
We have a number of different bridges designed to carry heavy forestry loads including steel beam bridges, submersible, temporary and relocatable options.
A well-designed bridge is a cost-effective investment. They are built to last and withstand extreme weather, require less ongoing maintenance, are an environmentally-sensitive solution favoured by councils, and can be installed year-round.

Bridge It NZ is an award-winning company that has delivered hundreds of small to medium sized bridges (6m-50m) since 2009. We work closely with forestry companies to provide cost-effective bridges that can be used over multiple harvests – and even across multiple locations thanks to our clever designs which can allow for disassembly and relocation.
We are the only bridging company in New Zealand to offer submersible bridges designed specifically for the forestry industry, and we customise each project to suit your forestry site and infrastructure needs.
Our bridges meet the loading standards required for logging trucks and heavy machinery such as skids and haulers, and we know how to strike the right balance to meet both environmental (NES-CF) regulations and local council demands without it costing the earth.
The Bridge It NZ team recently showcased their strong problem-solving skills and collaborative approach with two new low-level submersible bridge builds for Aratu Forests Limited, at their Kopua Forest in Maraetaha, Gisborne.
A bridge designed to carry heavy forestry loads is a substantial capital investment – but what if you could relocate that bridge and use it across multiple harvests?
Time sensitive harvest operations and restricted road access were key factors in the decision of Aratu Forests to engage Bridge It NZ to deliver a customised bridging solution for their Gisborne site.
