Bespoke Bridges

At Blackburn & Roberts, we specialise in designing, manufacturing, and installing all kinds of bespoke bridges.

Our comprehensive bridge building service includes the design and construction of foundations if required.

Whatever your needs and style preferences, Blackburn & Roberts are experts in creating bespoke bridge systems from start to finish. Our service also offers the opportunity to commission a Feasibility Study, addressing the numerous questions that need to be settled before establishing a realistic, achievable cost for your bespoke bridge project.

Our celebrated Bridge in a Day service has been used for a number of years by Doncaster MBC.

In this case in Norton we supplied and installed new pre cast concrete foundations, these were delivered on the same delivery vehicle as the bridge.

By getting in after harvest and out before the new crop can be drilled saves a fortune. With the foundations in place the deck was moved across fields to site and lifted into place.

A missing link in Lincolnshire Bridleway Network has been recently filled. The Maintenance Team from the power station provided new foundations and the oldest crane we have ever seen!

An EDF Power Station (which we cannot name) had a bridge missing over a small river on their estate. This led to massive problems for local equestrians.

With careful management we extracted the maximum performance from the crane and the gap in the network has now been closed.

A crisis looped when the dray could not safely access a Rugby Club in Cardiff.

Cardiff CC led the project extracting the old bridge and providing new foundations via their Term Contractor, Horizon Civil Engineering.

We manufactured the deck during the low point in the Pandemic and installed it briskly

The beer was ready to flow as the lockdown eased.

Another satisfied client.

In inaccessible locations getting bridges to site can be a serious barrier to progress.                

Some years ago we developed a lightweight bridge for United Utilities.

It is still giving good service after almost a decade in service.

When Somerset CC wanted a bridge with impact to be installed on a prestige project, they naturally turned to Blackburn and Roberts.

We are fortunate to work in many wonderful places.

The Gower is splendid and Oxwich Beach is a jewel.

When Natural Resources Wales installed one of our kits it we admired by Swansea PROW who promptly bought another one for a similar site.
