Approach Railings:
The most common are short rail sections that match or mimic the bridge rail construction and finish. Call us for a quote and we will deliver them with the bridge.
Be sure to provide sketches with dimensions of the plan and elevation view so we know if it has any turns or slopes.
Tell us if there are any member size, or shape, requirements.
Tell us your preferred mounting method; direct imbed or base plates.
Pipes and conduits:
Pipe hung under bridge and partially disguised by bridge structure.
We can design your bridge to carry pipe of 6 foot diameter or more. Pipes are NOT to be added to bridges that are not designed for them.
Typically these items are installed before the bridge is set.
You should determine what rollers, hangers or other supports you will be using to mount the conduits and pipes, then coordinate this with Excel.
Conduit hangers:
Conduit along outside of bridge is common.
You may need to mount signage and artwork onto the bridge.
Angle iron clip for hanging pipe supports.
Excel will provide all attachment clips or extra members that are needed, i.e. anything that you need to mount items onto the bridge. DO NOT drill into bridge structural members.
Other typical accessories:
Cover plates may be attached at the factory or need to be installed in the field.
Light pole brackets typically are factory installed, but for wider bridges they may be bolted on in the field. All hardware provided for support but not for light pole.
Various types of custom gates or fencing may need coordination with Excel.
Roofs:
The bridge must be designed for a roof because the pedestrian load and the snow/ice load will be on the bridge at the same time.
You can build your own roof supports but you must ask Excel to supply the clips for you to attach your materials.
Or ask Excel to build the roof supports as part of the bridge, and you only have to put the sheathing on after delivery.
