Steadfast Bridges for Heavy Loading Applications

Steadfast Heavy LoadsThe strength and durability of Steadfast Bridges allow a wide range of unique solutions that accomodate heavy loading requirements, including HS20-44 and HS25.

Steadfast Bridges for Vehicular Overpass and Underpasses

Steadfast Vehicular OverpassAs the design pacesetter for the industry, Steadfast vehicular truss bridges are safe, durable, affordable, and aesthetic solutions.

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.

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.

Potential Contribution: All CONTECH Products
