Which came first the chicken or the egg? I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg. -
Ouch.

Nuke engineers don't count... Should have indicated that they must be a civil engineer. I guess being a nuke engineer helps with your worth ($02M). I only have $.02 cents.MediumRarely said:
One of my degrees is in Nuclear Engineering, so I'll just put my $02M worth in here. It should only take a single truck of concrete, but order 2 just in case - along with one ton of #5 rebar.....tarheelmatt said:With all the job titles that are thrown around here, someone has to be an engineer for Army Corp. of Engineers.------------------------------

civils would draw it out, have the area surveyed, engineer the footings, take the temp of the cement getting poured. nukes would figure it out and somehow the speed of light would be involved and if going fast enough an 8 foot bridge would fit a 12 foot wide stream it all works

Thanks for all the replies. Lots to think about. I'm going to scout the crossing location later this week. I will find a spot where we only need an 8' span to help cut back on material. I'll post results later.

Rope swing it.

If you have vehicular access...you can build one of these....we did one at our office works really well....here's a crude drawing but basically you can build it in your backyard and then transport it...side supports/railing can be added in the field if necessary there are several ways to mount....just pile some dirt up to whatever width & span you want then form & pour your concrete.......GL

All you need is a couple of 3D printers!

Call the Corps of Engineers for a permit. Get an Environmental Impact Study. Call the Hydrologist. Get a surveyor to determine century flood mark. Make sure every person taking part in building the bridge is properly certified.
Or buy a pair of boots.

Not to mention everyone needs to be verified for proper US citizenship or correct immigration status/paperwork.
Today if someone is injured or killed on the job the first question is are they legal to work in the first place. -
Again, thanks for all the comments...even the OT ones. Never sure where things might lead around here. I ended up spending $55 on lumber and we successfully built and installed a 10' long and 2' wide walking bridge. Perfect for our need. Here are a couple of pics.

Thanks. Felt good to walk across it the first time.

I can't find one right now. It's well casing pipe for the span with 2x10 screwed to it with HD self tappers. 4x4 screwed down to the 2x10. Spacing is 3 1/2 "LBGE& SBGE———————————————•———————– Pennsylvania / poconos

That one deck board that is wider than the others is going to cause my OCD to flare up. I might have to drive out there and trim that for you.4Runner said:

@HeavyG - it is just an optical illusion. They are all exactly 24" across and lined up properly. I'm twitching right now as I type.
Serenity now!
