Environmentally-friendly, maintenance-free design eliminates painting, saves thousands of dollars and uses recycled steel. Our weathering steel bridge materials completely eliminates the requirement for painting and re-painting the bridge throughout its life. Figured over a typical 15-year paint life, eliminating this one element alone saves over $4,000 the first year. In addition, your bridge contributes to LEED® Certification with the U.S. Green Building Council for your project. Every Roscoe Bridge utilizes recycled steel. Not only are you saving money but you are helping to save the planet!

Pre-engineered design standards save over 2/3 the cost of engineering a custom bridge. On a typical bridge, this saves $8,500 and lowers the installed project cost by 12%. By not re-inventing the bridge for each application, savings are passed on to the owner. In addition, pre-engineering the bridge allows us to provide a defined, concise package to the Engineer-of-Record for large projects for states, counties, municipalities and private developers that lowers their project risk and shortens the project timeline.

Bolt-together, lightweight, modular design and construction. By bolting all bridge modules together, whether in a vehicle of trail bridge application, Roscoe has eliminated the requirement of hiring expensive certified welders to install your bridge. This can save up to $2,000 on a typical competitive bridge installation. In addition, by focusing on small, lightweight bridge modules, a Roscoe Bridgecan typically save crane cost by over half from a typical concrete bridge. This alone has been demonstrated to save more that $10,000 in installed cost on an 80-foot vehicle bridge.

Design-build scope provides single-point accountability. Since Roscoe Bridge is responsible for designing and building your new bridge, you have one contact to ensure complete conformance to your requirements, no confusion – Hassle-free! Throughout an 8-week project cycle, this can save countless hours of your time. What is 5 hours of your valuable time worth; hundreds and even thousands of dollars?

Guaranteed delivery, fit-up and quality conformance eliminates installation contingency costs. Roscoe’s annually audited quality processes (Certified Bridge Fabricator – American Institute of Steel Construction) assures you that our system of quality conformance will not let you down. We guarantee what we design, fabricate and deliver to you! Ask any contractor what a 1 day delivery delay means to his competitiveness and owner bid price. By working with Roscoe Bridge, we can eliminate the 10-15% contingencies that are typical in installation estimates. Whether you are an owner or a contractor, this means $1,000-$3,000, or more in savings for an installation.

Roscoe optimizes the value of the bridge system through integrated bridge, abutment and back wall design. Through Roscoe’s innovative and registered designs, the bridge is mated to the abutment and back walls in an integrated, seamless scope of supply that saves you time and money. Why purchase a concrete bridge when it will require an abutment that costs over double ($10,000) the installed cost of a Roscoe SuperSill® fabricated steel abutment and back wall? And the Roscoe system is guaranteed to be on-time and always fit-up without error. Even if your site requires piling to support the bridge, the lightweight Roscoe system ensures fewer piles, and utilizes the SuperSill abutment and back walls as pile caps to ensure fit-up with the bridge.
