Overview
The Bold bridge is a modular pedestrian bridge system combining architecturally detailed posts with multiple balustrade and decking options. Standard materials include Corten steel or hot-dip galvanised steel, with optional powder coating in RAL Classic colours. Balustrade infill choices include horizontal stainless steel cables with tensioners, stainless steel cable mesh, or Corten expanded metal. Handrail options: oval-planed hardwood handrail or stainless steel tubular handrail (Ø 10 cm). Decking can be executed in Cordeck®40; optional anti-slip dots can be applied to the profiles.

Design and structure

• Modular construction suitable for flat or arched configurations
• Robust posts with open, architectonic detailing
• Balustrade infill options: horizontal stainless steel cables with tensioners, stainless steel cable mesh, Corten expanded metal
• Handrail options: oval-planed hardwood or stainless steel tubular handrail (Ø 10 cm)
• Decking option: Cordeck®40 with optional anti-slip dots

Materials and finishes

• Corten steel: weathering steel; warm red-brown colour after oxidation; rough texture; oxidation time 1–3 years; expected service life ≈ 50 years; minimal maintenance; recyclable.
