Ideal for Long Spans

Suspension bridges are the optimal choice for sites requiring clear spans beyond 30m – reducing the need for intermediate supports and minimising disruption to waterways, valleys, and uneven terrain.

01

Lightweight and Strong

Despite their graceful form, suspension bridges offer exceptional strength-to-weight ratios, ensuring both load-bearing capacity and design flexibility.

02

Minimal Environmental Footprint

With fewer foundations and reduced earthworks, suspension bridges are especially suited to protected landscapes or areas with challenging access.

03

Aesthetic Appeal

Their iconic silhouette and flowing lines make suspension bridges a preferred choice in parks, nature reserves, estates, and civic projects.

Why Choose a Suspension Bridge?

Designed and Manufactured in the UK

Every Beaver Bridges suspension bridge is fully engineered and fabricated at our UK facility using modern CAD tools and high-grade British steel. Our team works with you from concept through to installation – ensuring compliance with British Standards, site constraints, and planning requirements.

We provide both tensioned cable suspension designs and stayed configurations for shorter spans or more constrained sites.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the maximum span for a Beaver Bridges suspension bridge?

We typically design suspension bridges for spans between 25–60 metres, but this depends on terrain, loading, and foundation conditions.

Can suspension bridges handle vehicle traffic?

Our standard suspension designs are optimised for pedestrian, cycle, and bridle use. However, we offer engineered options for light vehicles on request.

Do suspension bridges require more maintenance?

All our bridges are treated with anti-corrosion finishes and designed for low-maintenance performance. Cable tensioning may be reviewed periodically for very long spans.
