Extraordinary Bridges
Engineering in a Natural Style
Bridges can be extraordinary features in a landscape. They not only connect two sites with
one another, but a beautifully designed bridge has aesthetic appeal that enhances the
quality of the environment. Streetlife provides a series of attractive bridges for pedestrians
and cyclists. Each has its own unique identity and all are characterised by a distinctive,
natural style.
Streetlife bridges have a standard maximum width of three metres. The maximum clear
span ranges between four and 16 metres and longer bridges are possible by adding extra
columns. With structural components made from CorTen or powder coated steel in an RAL
colour, the bridges are supplied in combination with one of Streetlife’s various decking
materials.
Distinctively designed Streetlife bridges can be produced for virtually any location within
a short period of time. A design and deliver process removes many potential risks for
the client and keeps costs to a minimum. In addition, all bridges are engineered to local
standards, which means they comply with relevant national legislation.
In Stolberg (DE), landscape architect Club L94
created a new design for the area surrounding a
large city pond. The pond, the Bastinsweiher, is
on the route from the r ailway station to the city
centre. A bridge spanning some 37 metres now
serves to extend the footpaths in the bordering
park. The warm copper colour of the custom
balusters is reminiscent of Stolberg’s industrial
heritage as the ‘copper city’. The rhythmic bar
pattern of the bespoke fencing is based
on the Solo Bridge.
