Bridge construction on Navidad River requires engineering for span length, load rating, flood clearance, and foundation conditions in sandy clay and alluvial sediment. Shore Protect Team builds pedestrian, golf cart, and light vehicle bridges that handle the river's specific forces.
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 river's sandy clay and alluvial sediment. Walkway and boardwalk approaches are integrated to provide seamless access from the bridge to the waterfront.

Bridge repair on Navidad River: replacing rotted decking and stringers, reinforcing or replacing corroded steel, resetting shifted pilings in sandy clay and alluvial sediment, upgrading railings, and restoring load capacity. Shore Protect Team evaluates each structure before recommending repair versus replacement.
Pedestrian-only bridges on Navidad River are designed for 40-60 psf live load. Golf cart bridges need 100+ psf. Light vehicle crossings require full vehicular load rating. Shore Protect Team engineers each bridge for its intended traffic.
Starting at $35/sq ft for new construction and $25/sq ft for repair on Navidad River. Final cost depends on span length, width, load rating, material, piling depth in sandy clay and alluvial sediment, and any railing or lighting requirements.
Navidad River is subject to seasonal flooding, low to moderate current, Lake Texana releases. 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 sandy clay and alluvial sediment 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 sandy clay and alluvial sediment, full replacement is usually the better investment.
