Extend the Service Life of Timber Bridges

Our internal treatment services are designed to maximize the performance and longevity of timber bridge components. By carefully placing specialized wood preservatives, we significantly extend the life of critical members and delay costly replacements.

In addition to railroad bridges, county roadway structures and “Rails to Trails” timber bridges are excellent candidates for this service. Any structure that relies on timber piles, caps, or stringers can benefit from a comprehensive internal treatment program.

Inspection-Driven Internal Treatment

Every project begins with a thorough timber bridge inspection. Our experienced inspectors evaluate the physical and environmental conditions of each structure to determine the best course of action.
