Consultancy and negotiation
3S Bridge will work with you to help define exactly what bridge is needed to span your challenge and meet your deadline. We are determined to find the right value point with you to set a solid project foundation for a long-lasting solution.
We are globally experienced negotiators for all sides of any bridge project. Whether this is engaging local contractors or settling the fine points with local authorities, we're here to help get things moving smoothly while making sure all the necessary details are covered and agreed upon.
3S bridge will work with you to help define exactly which bridge is most suitable for your transport needs and help with any negotiations required to get it built.
We will evaluate the site and its surrounding conditions, current and future traffic volumes, local resources and the local construction sector skill level. We can then propose a range of solutions to establish the right value point that's right for you.
We are globally experienced in dealing with all sides of bridge project negotiation, and are flexible enough to work with a blend of local clients and contractors, or even manage operations. As such, we can discuss matters down to fine points with the local authorities and help reach the goal of building the most appropriate and effective bridge solution for your needs.
Optimizing the Solution
Process & Services
3S Bridge are here for turn key or bespoke engagements, managing the whole bridge-building process with you or for you.
We can act globally or locally, to provide or arrange all services from consultancy, design and on-site construction, around our core bridge-manufacturing capability.
Survey and foundations fabrications
With the teams set and the negotiations completed sufficient to start, the design and project management can start.
On the ground we can survey and get to work on the foundations. We're great at keeping you up to date with progress and applying our years of experience to the individual idiosyncratic challenges that every project presents.
Manufacturing and transportation
In our Chinese factory, we mix the best of robot and expert hands-on manufacture techniques to bring speed and precision to manufacturing our bridge components. We test build factory-side to fine tune and ensure fit later on site, then galvanize components for longevity.
After we're happy the manufacture is sound, we organize shipping and land transport to deliver bridge components to the site ready for build. We're experienced in worldwide delivery and making sure this fits in and coordinates with all bridge-project stakeholders.

Bolt-on Services
Building bridges is at the core of all our projects. To complete projects with you faster and more easily, we offer both project management and bolt-on expert services.
In addition to bridge design and manufacture, we can supply or source all services connected with installation to ensure the success of your bridge project.
How we work
On-site build
On-site, we can either work with your teams or with installation teams we can put together. We can also organise the necessary heavy equipment or work with any machines provided by stakeholder colleagues. Following this we can supervise the bridge installation from the component parts we brought in quickly and efficiently.
We also stay in contact with you after construction to make sure you continue to be happy with your bridge!
“We would fully recommend 3S Bridge, LLC to any potential client and have no hesitation in working with them in the future.”
“We are pleased to confirm that in all areas above 3S Bridge met or exceeded the specifications and work order”
Simon Daniel
Deputy Permanent Secretary – St. Lucia
“3S Bridge, LLC of the United States supplied the steel structure, and we can confirm that they supplied the bridge in Full compliance”
“The complexity of the superstructure would also prove to be particularly challenging to assemble and install. 3S Bridge’s site support during the preassembly phase was valuable to ensure the correct profile was achieved”

BRIDGES OF PEACE PROGRAMME
"The bridges have positively impacted on the quality of life and economic revival of our remote communities."
Dr Omar Rangel
Development - Bolivar State, Colombia
“For the community the bridges are also synonymous with safety. The poor condition of the roads and previous inadequate structures forced them to take unsafe alternative routes. Now they can travel in safety and over shorter distances.”
