Why Eurocode Compliance Matters for Our Bridges

At Bison Bridges, we’re committed to building high-quality, reliable bridges for pedestrians, cyclists, and horse riders. That’s why all our structures are fully compliant with Eurocode standards, ensuring they meet the latest industry regulations for safety and durability.

What Are Eurocodes?

The Eurocodes are a set of European structural design standards that provide a consistent framework for construction. They cover everything from material strength to foundation design, ensuring that bridges are safe, well-engineered, and fit for purpose.

Key standards for bridge structures include:

✔ Eurocode 1 – Design considerations such as pedestrian loads and wind effects
✔ Eurocode 2 – Concrete structure design
✔ Eurocode 3 – Steel structure design
✔ Eurocode 7 – Ground conditions and foundations

Why Does Eurocode Compliance Matter?

1. Guaranteed Safety & Quality

Eurocode compliance means our bridges are designed to a recognised standard, giving confidence that they are safe, structurally sound, and built to last.

2. Meeting UK & European Standards

Adhering to Eurocodes ensures our bridges meet planning and regulatory requirements, making the approval process smoother and ensuring full compliance with national guidelines.

3. Efficient & Cost-Effective Design

Eurocodes help us to optimise materials and design, ensuring our bridges are not only durable but also lightweight, efficient, and easy to install.
