Bridge Construction

Our Expertise in Complex Bridge Works

In bridge construction, robust foundational work is frequently required to support the installation of new structures, as well as the replacement or reinforcement of existing ones. Common work we undertake includes subsea soil improvement, creating large diameter piles for foundations, installation of new piles into existing structures, replacement of bridge spans and reinforcing existing bridge piles.

There are also a number of ways to enable the installation of piles in these settings. Pile installation can be executed from a barge or through the creation of a cofferdam.

Highly Skilled & Experienced Team

Our highly skilled and experienced team of engineers, project managers and technical specialists is at the heart of all of our success. With a dedication to excellence, our team is on hand to tackle projects of any complexity.

Our engineers bring extensive knowledge of ground conditions and piling techniques, placing collaboration at the forefront of their approach. We work closely with clients, architects and contractors to deliver efficient, cost-effective solutions that meet your project requirements. We also stay ahead of the curve with continued professional development, ensuring we are up to date with the latest geotechnical engineering practices.

Advanced Piling Rigs and High-Precision Marine Equipment

We invest in advanced piling machinery, ensuring there is reliable precision in every project. Our fleet includes large excavators and bored piling rigs, which are capable of reaching significant depths and diameters in challenging ground conditions. Our machinery is meticulously maintained to reduce downtime and enhance productivity – allowing us to meet tight project deadlines.

Our drilling equipment ensures maximum efficiency and minimal disruption to nearby areas in the creation of piles for bridges.

Our Commitment to Sustainable Bridge Construction

Sustainability is a part of everything we do at Aarsleff. In marine and bridge construction, we’re committed to minimising our ecological footprint while delivering foundational solutions that are built for longevity.

Each project we undertake goes through a thorough environmental assessment to ensure we protect surrounding waterways and habitats wherever possible. We aim to adopt methods that reduce disturbance wherever possible and responsibly manage materials, reusing or recycling waste to limit our impact on the environment.
