Why Deploy Temporary Access Bridges

Remote job sites can pose a wide range of access challenges due to the many variances in Canada’s geography, as well as topographical shifts during the changing seasons. Access mats can be helpful when it comes to mitigating mud, sand, and other general challenges, but significant gaps or uneven ground portions require additional support to enable safe transport. Whether you’re contemplating opting for a permanent model for a longstanding job or a temporary outfit, there are several factors to consider when deciding on what model to acquire:

  • Intended duration of use
  • Ground-type/seasonal challenges
  • Weight capacity needs
  • Area-specific environmental factors

Once installed, TerraCross™ Access Bridges offer a wide range of benefits, including increased site safety, higher efficiency, and reduced transportation costs.

Safe and Efficient Crossing

As those in the oil & gas, power, renewable, and construction sectors are well aware, Canada’s landscape can pose significant challenges to your daily logistics. In combination with access mats, access bridges play a vital role in creating viable transport pathways that are safe and dependable. While mats are sufficient for balance out uneven ground surfaces and overcoming challenges like mud or unstable soil, access bridges are essential for dealing with areas where gaps caused by creek, rivers or major dips in topography are involved. Depending on the duration and purpose of your site, either permanent or temporary solutions can be used. Additional deciding factors include:

  • Ground-type
  • Weight capacity needs
  • Area-specific environmental factors

Portable bridges such as Sterling’s game-changing TerraCross™ Access Bridge (more on that below) are perfect for a variety of applications and are well suited for projects that require access to specific areas for shorter phases rather than a permanent fix. Benefits of installing temporary access bridges include:

  • Increased safety
  • Higher productivity due to fewer delays
  • Reduced transportation costs, and more.

Bridging The Gap With TerraCross™ Access Bridges

If your worksite features uneven terrain, bodies of water, marsh, or any of the other challenges the Canadian landscape has to offer, you no doubt know just how useful having a reliable access solution is to maintaining workflow. From delivering resources across creeks, ponds, ditches and related factors to simply ensuring your crew can safely get from point A to point B, temporary access bridges can be a lifesaver when it comes to staying on track and on budget.

It’s All Water Under The Bridge

Whether your worksite is located in one of the more remote regions of Canada or your simply need to contend with ever-changing seasons that can wreak havoc on terrain, having safe reliable transport access is one of the biggest priorities for any project. While access mats can serve as a makeshift roadway on relatively even ground, bridges are best for tackling gaps that cannot be safely crossed otherwise. Such gaps may include ditches, rivers, sinkholes, etc. Ultimately, access bridges become a necessity where safe transport is impossible without a designated route being created, typically using a combination of access mats and bridges. Factors that help determine what kind of bridge is best for your specific application include:

  • Intended period of use
  • Load capacity requirements
  • Geographic factors specific to your location

Typically, portable or temporary bridges are a sufficient and more cost-effective method opposed to permanent installation; as they can be removed upon completion, they are less likely to disturb the local terrain in the long term and can be relocated throughout the site as needed. This is a strong selling point for project managers that may only require brief access to certain areas, and who prefer a versatile asset that can be used in multiple locations.

TerraCross™ Access Bridges

TerraCross™Access Bridges: Your Dependable Solution For Easier Crossing

Does your remote worksite feature uneven terrain that makes crossing and regular transport methods difficult? Canada’s landscape can pose multiple challenges to your project. From uneven terrain to creeks, ditches, and other similar factors, delivering valuable resources to and from the job site can be a headache without the right tools in place. Temporary access bridges like those found in Sterling Solutions’ range of TerraCross™products help haulers and project managers circumvent these difficulties with ease, while also minimizing your overall impact on the surrounding environment. Learn more about the benefits of access bridges, as well as TerraCross™solutions, below.

Bridge Over Troubled Waters: When Access Bridges Make A Difference

It’s no secret that remote worksites can often pose a surplus of logistical problems when it comes to staying on top of your project, especially when you factor in Western Canada’s ever-changing weather patterns and fluctuating temperatures. From muddy paths to creek beds and more, finding a dependable way to facilitate easy transport is vital. Where access mats are best suited to creating makeshift pathways, access bridges are useful when it comes to any application where there is a need to cross a gap in the ground, such as rivers or ditches, with both temporary and permanent options available to meet your needs. Factors that help determine what kind of bridge is best for your specific application include:

  • Intended period of use
  • Load capacity requirements
  • Geographic factors specific to your location

In many cases, portable or temporary bridges are a suitable solution that allows you to facilitate easy crossing with minimal disturbance to the area in the longterm. This is particularly ideal for projects that may only require brief access to a specific portion of the worksite to deposit resources, as well as where cost-effectiveness is a concern since portable bridges can be used in multiple areas. The end result of using temporary access bridges is increased safety, reduced costs where transportation is concerned, and less disruption to your overall workflow.
