If you’re in need of access solutions that are reliable and strong and help you face the many challenges presented by changing weather and uneven terrain, temporary bridge solutions are ideal for you. Temporary access bridges help you to seamlessly navigate creeks, muddy grounds, rivers and more while mitigating the damage caused to the environment. Learn more about the benefits of temporary access bridges below!
Efficient and Safe Transportation
Canada’s landscape can be unforgiving, especially during the harsh winter months. The freeze-thaw cycle creates uneven terrain that poses significant challenges to the transportation of goods to and from the job site. In addition to access mats, installing a temporary access bridge creates a safe and solid pathway for your equipment and crew. Even though access mats are sufficient for balancing out uneven terrain and overcoming obstacles, they cannot be used as a safe solution to bridge gaps in topography caused by rivers or creeks.
Portable bridges such as GFI Solutions’ TerraCross™ Access Bridge offer you a stable and safe bridge that can withstand a variety of applications and a variety of weights. For short projects that require a temporary bridge solution, the TerraCross™ Access Bridge is the perfect solution.
Benefits of TerraCross™ Access Bridges
Engineered with superior performance in mind, the TerraCross access bridge is designed to increase safety, reduce transportation costs and prevent contamination on site. GFI’s temporary bridge solution is easy to deploy as it’s lightweight, can be delivered in a single truck and can be installed in no time. The unique design of the TerraCross access bridge facilitates construction and lifting with a 200-class excavator or similar equipment. Not only do GFI Solutions’ access bridges ensure higher efficiency, increased site safety and reduced transportation costs, but they can also withstand extreme conditions.
