FRP Pedestrian Bridges & Boardwalks

Bridges constructed using fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) materials have been designed and built across diverse environments and climates throughout North America. These pedestrian bridges often feature truss systems with significant spans, providing safe and durable crossings in a variety of settings. Structural engineering services typically include design review and certification to ensure compliance and performance standards. FRP is an ideal material for these applications due to its corrosion resistance, durability, and reduced maintenance requirements in harsh weather conditions. Its lightweight nature and design flexibility also allow for easier transportation, faster installation, and lower construction costs compared to traditional materials.

Many of these bridges and boardwalks are located in state and community parks, where each site demands tailored engineering strategies.

The Frost team has led the structural design for numerous FRP bridges across North America, adapting solutions to meet the challenges of varied environments – from coastal regions with high humidity and salt exposure to mountainous areas with extreme temperature swings and heavy snow loads. Many of these bridges and boardwalks are located in state and community parks, where each site demands tailored engineering strategies to ensure long-term performance and safety. Frost consistently delivers innovative, reliable, and cost-effective designs that address the unique demands of every geographic location.
