Bridges

Expert Bridge Building Service by Blackburn & Roberts

Many construction companies may believe they can build bridges, but allowing them to discover their mistake at your expense is not advisable. Bridge construction is a specialised field, governed by British Standards, DoT Bridge Directives, and stringent bridge design criteria. Additionally, standard insurance policies for general construction often exclude bridge work.

At Blackburn & Roberts, it is our policy to carry out all operations with our own employees. We suggest you look twice at firms who do not want to provide foundations or who use sub-contractors for this crucial operation. We feel our in-house approach is the only way to ensure quality and site safety.
