Our Scope

Replacing a Failing Cart Path Bridge with a new frost resistant Timber Bridge
We were selected to replace a failing cart path bridge that had succumbed to severe frost jacking. Our team delivered a robust, 100-foot timber structure engineered to withstand the region’s freeze-thaw cycles and provide a permanent solution for the active course.

Once the existing timber bridge was demolished, our team was required to drive 22 new timber piles with rigorous pull-testing to ensure the new foundation would successfully resist future frost-jacking forces. With the foundation in place, we were able to build the 100-foot wooden bridge deck and custom abutments.

Unique Challenges


Site-Sensitive Execution
We minimized the impact on the golf course by building during the winter off-season. Utilizing temporary access roads, our team handled the full project lifecycle—from demo to final grade—without disturbing the surrounding landscape.

Proven Structural Integrity
New pile underwent strict pull-testing to guarantee the foundation’s resistance against frost-heave, ensuring a rock-solid foundation.
