Easy Installation
All of Bedford’s FRP solutions are designed for quick and easy onsite assembly and installation, but there are instances when pre-assembly can help expedite the installation process. For example, individual sections of a platform or staircase can be shipped as sub-assemblies for final connection at your site. We can even ship entire assemblies, such as a completed ReadySpan pedestrian bridge, for quick installation in remote or hard-to-access areas.
