Innovative modular bridging solutions for complex applications
As an industry leader in permanent and temporary movable bridging, Acrow has developed some of the most innovative solutions for bascule, vertical lift, sliding and other applications. Designed to accommodate both vehicular and vessel traffic, our movable bridges draw on specialized expertise in structural, mechanical and electrical engineering. In addition, Acrow collaborates closely with the client on site to ensure safe and efficient assembly and installation.
With safety a top priority, our structures incorporate the use of precision-manufactured modular components to build approach spans, towers and movable bridge sections in a wide variety of complex applications. We customize our solutions to suit the specific project environment, accommodating robust wind and traffic-loads, tidal movement and seismic activity, among other design criteria. We also design to meet different span lengths, configurations and live loads, and incorporate anti-skid decking as well as pedestrian safety features as required.
In serving client needs, Acrow partners with contractors and government agencies from the early design stage through project implementation, helping to safely deliver critical infrastructure on schedule and within budget. With specialized engineering expertise and a decades-long legacy of successful movable bridge project experience, Acrow connects you to the right solution.
