The Ribbon Bridge is constructed entirely from one single material – CorTen sheet steel. This makes the bridge exceptionally durable and unique. CorTen steel imparts a warm, natural patina. It also requires extremely low maintenance and has a long lifespan. The Ribbon Bridge is constructed as a single ‘monolithic’ structure, which gives even the underside of the bridge a beautifully finished appearance when passing. Because of the closed shape, a long and slender span is possible.
The spatial fence made from CorTen strips is fully integrated with the bridge girder, affording the construction a sleek design. Optional LED lighting makes this bridge an eye-catching feature in both urban and rural environments.
In addition to the standard CorTen strip fence, Bowie, Millipede and Branches fencing systems can also be used.
Products supplied within the North American market are fully manufactured in the USA.
