For Bridges It's Timber ... For Timber It's Wheeler
    
     

     Panel-Lam® bridges by Wheeler are built from structural lumber that has been pressure treated to last a lifetime. We've engineered our system to lay up to 250 square feet of deck at a time! The panelized, laminated deck panels can be unloaded from the truck right into position, then easily fastened into place.

     It's tough to beat the durability of properly treated wood. It won't crack, crumble, or rot...like many other materials... and can't be damaged by continuous freezing and thawing. Salt won't pit it, water can't rust it; and it's simply not affected by temperature, alkali soils or acids.

Panel- Lam® Bridges challenge comparisons for simplicity, economy and durability
  • Quick and easy to erect.
  • Costs for construction and design are low.
  • Little or no maintenance-even after 40-50 years of service.
  • Future bridge widening is simple and inexpensive.
  • Bituminous mat can cover the deck - the same as the roadway.
  • Great flexibility of design - any angle of skew.
