Bridge Construction
The design, fabrication, and installation of bridge structures at mine sites to provide safe crossings of waterways, gullies, haul roads, conveyors, and process plant structures for personnel and equipment. Mining bridge construction must accommodate heavy haulage vehicles, vibration loads from blasting and processing, and environmental conditions. In remote mining regions, bridge construction is a significant infrastructure investment enabling mine access and production logistics. Bridge design standards apply load ratings appropriate for mining equipment, which may far exceed standard road vehicle weights.
