The Elegant Span.
Speak with an EngineerA bridge is an almost pure structure, and thus as those whose first impulse is engineering, it is our delight to see how effortlessly we can span the gap. Whether it be river or highway, StructureCraft partners with municipalities and private owners to design and build your footbridge.
We take our “Engineer-Build” model one step further, delivering your project as the Design-Build General Contractor. We believe footbridges can be both beautiful and functional, and employ the principles of prefabrication to ensure a quality, cost-effective end result.
Featured Timber Footbridge Projects
-
Set over the Bow River in the town of Banff (Canada’s first national park), this slender 113m-long timber bridge serves pedestrian traffic and provides a sanitary crossing replacement.
-
The Nancy Pauw Bridge is set in the heart of Banff, spanning the Bow River to connect Central Park to the Banff Recreation Grounds.
-
Located on the Trans-Canada Trail, this 64 m (210 ft.) long footbridge spans the Tulameen River at Princeton, BC. The two 105 ft. (32m) timber bridge spans were set down onto the existing piers of the Old Kettle Valley Railway Bridge.
-
Shortly after designing, fabricating, and erecting the 80m clearspan (113m total) Bow River Pedestrian Bridge in Banff, Canada, we were awarded the contract to design and build a similarly styled but smaller pedestrian bridge.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Maecenas non magna cursus, egestas felis a, pellentesque.StructureCraft’s first impulse is engineering, thus it is our delight to see how effortlessly we can span the gap. Whether it be river
or highway, we partner with municipalities and private owners to design and build your footbridge. StructureCraft has a unique
and value-laden business model. Because engineering and the building process are so closely linked in the way we do things, we
have decided to call our primary delivery method Engineer-Build. This draws on the historical model of “Master-Builder”, where as
engineers who love architecture and good design, we take responsibility for building the structures we design.
When it comes to footbridges, we take this model one step further, delivering your project as the Design-Build General Contractor.
We believe footbridges can be both beautiful and functional, and employ the principles of prefabrication to ensure a quality, cost-
effective end result. We bring responsibility for all the steps of design and construction under one roof. This synthesises and smooths out the building process.
