Pedestrian Bridge on Helical Piles

CADD Example

SKU: MLIT232017 Categories: , ,

Description

CADD files for an example wood pedestrian and golf cart bridge. Support beams run longitudinally and are supported by helical piles at on-center spacing. Support beams are unique combination of wood and steel known as a flitch beam. No concrete was used in the project example. Helical pile caps lag bolted to underside of flitch beams. Example helical pile details, installation notes, and schedules provided.
Handrails should be added if height of bridge exceeds code maximum. Very low impact on wet lands and sensitive vegitative species during pile and bridge installation. Fairly easy to construct in restricted access or remote areas of golf courses or other recreational areas.
