Over the years footbridges over streams and rivers have evolved from wooden construction to concrete and steel to provide a longer lifespan. However, concrete can be ugly in some surroundings and a coated steel contact surface will succumb to corrosion fairly quickly and needs to be maintained regularly in order to ensure continued safe service. Recently a more lightweight, maintenance-free and sustainable footbridge construction method, in the form of recycled plastic for the touch surfaces and structural steel for the load bearing sections, has been specified by the UK Environment Agency (EA). The bridges themselves are being designed, fabricated and installed by ECS Engineering Services.
