The Kara system comes into its own when a client requires a bridge with a wooden "feel" but with the strength, robustness and length achievable only with steel. Like its namesake this system is elegant, well presented but with a core of steel!
The combination of steel load bearing beams with timber deck and parapet allows longer spans than would be possible with softwood beams.
We can offer the beams in both painted and galvanised finishes. For maximum life we can supply both.
All of our timber is stress graded (C24 and tanalised) comes from "Responsibly managed forests" and authentication of this is available.
Deck boards are supplied grooved and each board also has 2 Anti Slip inserts offering our celebrated Asa Anti Slip Treatment. Parapets are available in Post and Rail or In-Fill Spindle designs.
All fixings at ground level are in stainless steel and others are galvanised for maximum life and ease of future maintenance. If required we can supply Kara Bridges with the hardwood timber.
We offer a foundation design and construction service if required. Bridges can be supplied assembled or in kit form. Many clients prefer us to install their bridges and we do this in accordance with CDM Regulations.
