Bridges Sector Snapshot
Bridges, both big and small, are one of the most visually striking pieces of infrastructure. Building bridges can be challenging, with a wide range of equipment and techniques being used to bring them to fruition.
From Roman aqueducts to the Ponte Vecchio in Florence, Brunel’s Clifton Suspension Bridge, or San Francisco’s Golden Gate, bridges have been iconic and spectacular engineering achievements of mankind.
Today’s bridge-building spans from mega-projects to small intimate foot- or cycle-crossings, with varied lifting machines, including tower cranes, mobile cranes, crawler cranes, strand-jacks, and SPMTs, playing their part.
Bridges have, from earliest times, counted among some of the most iconic and spectacular engineering achievements of mankind – as well as the most useful.
