Glulam Bridges
Glulam bridges are a proven solution to many bridging design and construction requirements.
Flexible and cost-effective

Techlam has many years’ experience in creating timber bridge structures and brings this knowledge and skill to every bridging project. Our services range from supplying main beam members and kitset packages to a fully installed solution in conjunction with industry partners and design professionals.
