Continental Pedestrian Bridge

Continental® Pedestrian Truss Bridges

Connecting Innovative Design with Uncompromising Excellence

Continental LogoContinental pedestrian truss structures range from basic structures to unique custom solutions. Over 13,000 have been installed since 1974. With clear spans to 250 feet and more, Continental bridges are ideal for crossings over highways, railroad tracks, rivers and wetlands. These aesthetic solutions offer a variety of styles, rail, deck and finish options, all with rapid installation.

Continental prefabricated bridges allow for quick installation, reducing site construction time and lowering costs, and require minimal maintenance. Continental pedestrian bridges are warranted against defects in materials and workmanship.
 
Benefits of the Continental Pedestrian Bridge:
  • Site-Specific Designs – Can be designed in full compliance with AISC, AASHTO, IBC, CALTRANS and other design codes.
  • Options to Suit - Get the look and functionality that you need and want – our manufacturing flexibility at the plant can accommodate special customer requests.
  • Technology - Our state of the art software allows for speed and accuracy of plan development.
  • Experience - We have registered PEs in every state and nearly 40 years of experience to help with regulations and codes on even the most challenging projects.
  • Quality - We maintain the highest level of manufacturing certifications in the industry – making sure that the job is done right the first time.

 

Continental Bridges for Pedestrian Crossings

Continental for Pedestrian Crossing Continental truss bridges provide the perfect solution for a basic foot bridge or a large overpass bridge. Prefabricated golf course bridges can be installed quickly with minimal disruption to course play. Trail and bicycle bridges have also been widely used to enhance recreational areas and link greenway systems.

Continental Pedestrian Bridges for Skywalks

Continental SkywalkThe custom designs, lightweight strength, long clear spans, and elegant designs of our custom prefabricated truss bridges make them the best way to get pedestrians safely where they’re going. Continental skywalks connect hospitals, stadiums and malls to parking garages and carry pedestrians over busy roads in many other scenarios.

Truss Bridges for Stream and Wetland Crossings

Truss Wildlife CrossingLonger clear spans minimize the use of piers or immediate supports. Therefore Steadfast vehicular bridges and Continental pedestrian bridges are an ideal solution for crossing sensitive areas and wetlands with little or no impact on the environment. Lack of piers also leads to improved hydraulic efficiency.

Continental Bridges for Conveyor and Pipe Support

Truss Pipe SupportContinental truss bridges can function as pipe or conveyor support systems or for a variety of material handling needs.

Truss Structures for Bridge Replacement

A-2000 Sanitary Sewer Pre-engineered Truss structures provide fast-track solutions for bridge replacement projects with quick installation – saving both time and money. These prefabricated truss structures are often installed in just one to three days.

 

 

 

SS Credit 1 – Site Selection, 1 Point

Intent – Avoid the development of inappropriate sites and reduce the environmental impact from the location of a building.

Potential Contribution: Bridge and Structures

  • Long clear spans allow you to cross sensitive areas with little or no impact
  • Maintain a 50-foot buffer on either side of the waterway

SS Credit 2 – Development Density and Community Connectivity, 2-5 Points

Intent – Channel development to urban areas with existing infrastructure, protect greenfields and preserve habitat and natural resources.

Potential Contribution: Bridges and Structures
  • Connect people and services over roads, under rail crossings and across streams
  • Shorten walking distance to basic services
  • Provide aesthetic solutions

SS Credit 4.1 – Alternative Transportation, Public Transportation Access, 1-6 Points

Intent – Reduce pollution and land development impacts from automobile use.

Potential contribution: Bridges and Structures
  • Create bicycle trail connectivity - allowing alternative transportation mode
  • Create shorter, safer pedestrian access to public transit
  • Bring public transportation (i.e. railway) into a community with minimal impact to existing roads and grades

MR Credit 4 – Recycled Content, 1-2 Points

Intent – Increase the demand for building products that incorporate recycled content materials. The sum of post-consumer recycled content plus one-half of the pre-consumer content constitutes at least 10% (1 point) or 20% (2 points), based on cost, of the total value of the materials in the project.

Potential Contribution: CONTECH Metal Pipe and Structures
  • Steel is the most recycled material in the world
  • Up to 80% recycled content

MR Credit 5.1 – Regional Materials, 1-2 Points

Intent – Increase demand for building materials and products that are extracted and manufactured locally to a job site in hopes to reduce the environmental impact that would result from transporting these goods. Products manufactured, extracted and recycled within 500 miles of the project site for a minimum of 10% (1 point) or 20% (2 points), based on cost of the total materials value.
