Wooden bridge SWAN

steelgalvanised steelaluminum

Overview
Swan pedestrian bridges feature a Swan-style railing system in Corten steel or powder-coated steel (custom RAL colours). Railing infill is available as continuous stainless-steel cables or Corten mesh panels. A rounded handrail in wood or stainless steel completes the profile. Curved Corten panels run along the load-bearing structure to reduce climbability. Bridges are supplied largely prefabricated to minimise on-site assembly time.

Key features

• Railing options: Corten steel or powder-coated steel (RAL).
• Handrail options: round wood or stainless steel.
• Infill options: full-length stainless steel cables or Corten mesh panels.
• Curved Corten side panels integrated with the structure for reduced climbability.
• Prefabricated delivery for short on-site installation times.

Dimensions & loads

• Maximum recommended span: 16 m.
• Standard widths: 2 m or 3 m.
• Maximum uniformly distributed load: 5 kN/m² (≈ 90 lbs/ft²).

Bridge process (summary)
Streetlife follows a six-step process from concept to completion: concept → design drawings → drawing approval → prefabrication → delivery → on-site assembly. Typical lead time: 12–14 weeks after drawing approval. Prefabrication minimises on-site assembly time.
