| Bridge built from Accoya wood sheet ![]() The fort is surrounded by a moat and was originally built without a bridge so it was a challenge to create one that would be discreet. RO&AD architects' solution was to build a 'sunken' bridge that follows the line of the fort slope and sits almost flush with the soil and the level of the water, making it practically invisible as you approach the fort. The bridge is built from Accoya wood sheet piling on either side, with a hardwood deck/stairs in between. Accoya wood's durability and guaranteed performance in-ground and in freshwater made this possible. write your comments about the article :: © 2012 Construction News :: home page |
