Zavza Seal LLC, renowned for its expertise and excellence in contracting work, recently undertook a significant project aimed at enhancing pedestrian connectivity within a bustling urban area in New York. This case study delves into the meticulous planning, innovative solutions, and unparalleled execution demonstrated by Zavza Seal LLC’s ground team in the construction of a pedestrian walkway bridge.

Background:

In response to the growing need for safe and efficient pedestrian pathways, our client identified the necessity for a pedestrian bridge to connect two vital points in the urban landscape. The proposed pedestrian bridge would not only facilitate pedestrian movement but also ensure safety and accessibility for all users, thereby contributing to the overall enhancement of the urban infrastructure.

Project Details:

The pedestrian bridge, expertly designed and constructed by Zavza Seal LLC’s ground team, stands as a testament to precision engineering and meticulous craftsmanship. The key components of the bridge include:

  • Concrete Columns: Utilizing 18-inch diameter concrete columns, each extending 50 inches deep on both sides, provided the robust foundation necessary for the structure’s stability and longevity.
  • Brackets with Shims and Gutters: The incorporation of brackets with shims and gutters on both sides, front, and back of the bridge ensured seamless integration and enhanced structural integrity, safeguarding against potential wear and tear.
  • Hurricane Ties: The installation of hurricane ties reinforced the connection between various structural elements, offering additional resilience against adverse weather conditions and ensuring the bridge’s durability over time.
  • Floor Joist Brackets and Ledger Attachment: Employing floor joist brackets securely attached to the building with a ledger not only facilitated seamless integration with existing infrastructure but also provided crucial support for the bridge’s superstructure.
  • Woodwork: The final touch of expertly crafted woodwork using treated or green wood enhanced the aesthetic appeal of the bridge while ensuring resistance to environmental factors, thereby prolonging its lifespan.
