Simplify Installation with Shop Fabricated Bridge Kits
Shop fabrication combines the benefits of shop quality control with ready to install components. Wheeler will organize all the material components including hardware into a complete package. Detailed, project specific plans, bill-of-materials organized with component specific labels and preinstallation consultation all provide for a productive bridge installation experience. This the difference working with project consultants and not just a material broker.
Bridges are shipped as a field assembled kit or complete, ready to set.
All bridge kits include plans sealed by our registered Professional Engineers.
