A waterfront bridge on Benbrook Lake provides critical access that no other structure can — spanning water and terrain that cannot be filled or graded. The lake's freshwater conditions, clay and limestone substrate foundation, and wind fetch, dam-controlled levels, urban runoff from Fort Worth watershed determine span design, piling depth, and material selection.
Shore Protect Team builds bridges from treated wood, steel, and aluminum — selecting the material that matches the span, loading, and exposure. Pilings are driven to refusal or engineered depth in the lake's clay and limestone substrate. Walkway and boardwalk approaches are integrated to provide seamless access from the bridge to the waterfront.

Bridge repair services on Benbrook Lake: addressing rot, corrosion, settlement, storm damage, and structural inadequacy. Targeted repairs when the substructure is sound; full reconstruction when it is not.
Treated wood is the most economical for shorter spans on Benbrook Lake. Steel provides the greatest load capacity for longer spans and vehicle traffic. Aluminum offers the longest lifespan with minimal maintenance. Material choice depends on span length, loading, and exposure to wind fetch, dam-controlled levels, urban runoff from Fort Worth watershed.
Starting at $35/sq ft for new construction and $25/sq ft for repair on Benbrook Lake. Final cost depends on span length, width, load rating, material, piling depth in clay and limestone substrate, and any railing or lighting requirements.
Benbrook Lake is subject to wind fetch, dam-controlled levels, urban runoff from Fort Worth watershed. Bridges must be designed with adequate flood clearance above the design water surface elevation. Pilings and abutments must withstand scour forces from flood current in clay and limestone substrate substrate.
If pilings and primary structural members are sound, most decking and railing damage can be repaired. If pilings have settled, corroded through, or been undermined by scour in clay and limestone substrate, full replacement is usually the better investment.
