Why Coded Welding Makes Bison Bridges Stronger & Safer

April 17, 2025

At Bison Bridges, we believe every bridge should stand the test of time, providing safe and reliable access for pedestrians, cyclists, and horse riders. A crucial part of this is how our steel beams are welded.

Unlike standard welding, which can vary in quality, we use coded welders—highly trained professionals who meet strict industry standards. This ensures every bridge we build is not only strong but also safe, durable, and fully compliant with UK regulations.

What is Coded Welding & Why Does It Matter?

Coded welding is a certified process where welders undergo rigorous testing to prove their skill and precision. It’s essential in structural engineering, where safety and reliability are paramount.

Without it, welds can be inconsistent, prone to failure, and potentially unsafe. That’s why we never cut corners when it comes to the integrity of our bridges.

The Key Advantages of Coded Welding

1. Exceptional Strength & Reliability

Coded welding produces flawless, high-strength joints that can handle significant weight and stress. This is crucial for bridges, which must support continuous foot, cycle, and horse traffic while enduring environmental challenges.

2. Guaranteed Safety & Compliance

Our steel beams meet the stringent BSEN ISO 9606 standard for structural steelwork, ensuring that every bridge we construct is built to last and adheres to UK safety laws.

3. Reduced Maintenance & Long-Term Durability

Bridges built using coded welding require less frequent repairs, reducing maintenance costs and ensuring continued safety for public use.

4. Protection Against Structural Failures

Poor-quality welds can develop cracks, weaken over time, or fail under pressure. Our strict quality control processes prevent this, giving our clients complete confidence in the integrity of their bridge.
