Structural steelwork
Bridge steelwork has been manufactured at Painter Brothers since 1933. We have supplied spans ranging from 30m up to 128m, in the UK and worldwide. To ensure quality of fit, all prototype structures are check erected on our site prior to the commencement of bulk fabrication.
Using our in-house skills and resources we offer a comprehensive end-to-end structural steel services delivery capability – allowing the design, project management and installation of temporary and permanent access bridges of different types and lengths across widely varying terrain.
A modular approach means that we can provide bridges of almost any length using many common elements wherever possible.

Callender-Hamilton Bridges
The simplicity of the Callender-Hamilton bridge concept means that for any application, the same standard components are used. The flexibility of our design team ensures a speedy reaction to individual requirements and a tailored solution.
Having been manufactured for over 70 years and supplied to customers in more than 50 countries, the benefits of the system include its suitability for permanent, temporary and emergency applications and the ease with which it can be erected.
All Callender-Hamilton bridge steel components are manufactured in accordance with industry standards. As with our beam bridge service, all components are galvanised providing a maintenance-free life of around 30 years.
The range consists of six basic design types, providing single spans from 18m up to 128m. Longer crossings can still be achieved with multiple spans and intermediate piers.
The bridge system is based on a modular configuration adopting standard member components for all span lengths. With the capability to meet all client specifications, the Callender-Hamilton Bridge can be used for both temporary and permanent conditions.
