Ever wonder what actually carries the load of a bridge?

Meet the GIRDERS.

Girders are the primary longitudinal structural members that support the bridge deck and transfer loads through the structure to the piers and abutments below. Depending on the bridge design, they can be fabricated from steel, precast concrete, timber, or other engineered materials. From transportation and setting to alignment and final installation, girder er****on is a critical stage of bridge construction.

At Formula, bridges are what we do — and over the next few weeks, we’re breaking down the components that bring them together.

Bridges 101 — built to help you understand what’s underneath the road you travel every day.

COMING NEXT WEEK — BRIDGES 101

Bridges are something most of us use every day, but how often do we think about what actually goes into building one?

Next week, Formula is launching Bridges 101 — a new social series breaking down the different components that make up a bridge and explaining what each one does.

From girders and abutments to piles, bearings, decks and more, we’ll take a closer look at the pieces that work together to create the structures that keep people, goods and communities moving.

Some are easy to see - others are buried underground or hidden beneath the deck. Every one of them matters.

Follow along as Formula takes you inside bridge construction with Bridges 101.

Big equipment. Skilled people.

Formula’s crane operators bring the experience and precision required to safely execute complex lifts on bridge, piling and heavy civil projects across Western Canada.

The equipment matters. The people behind it matter more.

Looking very stoic Dan- a 20 year Formula veteran 😎.

Sheet piling plays a critical role in keeping complex civil and pipeline projects moving safely and efficiently.

At Formula, our crews install sheet pile systems for:
• Cofferdams and temporary works
• Excavation support and shoring
• Water control and isolation
• Pipeline crossings and watercourse work
• Retaining structures
• Bridge and foundation construction

With experienced crews, specialized piling equipment, and a strong track record on remote infrastructure projects, we can support everything from pipeline crossings to bridge construction.

Building for the Future.

🚧 NEW TO THE FORMULA FLEET

Formula has added a Bay-Lynx Titan Volumetric Concrete Mixer, allowing us to produce fresh concrete directly on site.

For our clients, that means:

🔸 Fresh concrete on demand
🔸 Less waste
🔸 Better control over quantities
🔸 Greater flexibility on remote sites
🔸 Fewer delays waiting on concrete supply

Another addition to the fleet that helps us keep projects moving.

WORKING OUTSIDE IN WILDFIRE SMOKE?

With air quality poor across much of BC, outdoor workers need to take a few extra precautions

• Check the air quality before starting work and throughout the day
• Take more breaks in cleaner-air areas when available
• Keep equipment and vehicle windows closed and use filtered air when possible
• Use appropriate respiratory protection when required and ensure it is properly fit-tested
• Watch your crew for coughing, headaches, dizziness, shortness of breath or unusual fatigue

Our crews work outside in some challenging conditions, but getting the job done should never come before getting everyone home safely.

Look out for yourself. Look out for your crew. Stay safe out there, BC.

Working with Indigenous communities is about far more than "checking a box". It means building genuine relationships, listening and learning, experiencing the culture, and showing up as a committed partner.

Thank you to the Lhtako Dene Nation for inviting us to attend your 2nd Annual Powwow. We were honoured to take part in such a meaningful celebration of culture, community, and tradition.

The Man. The Myth. The Legend.

Comic books are filled with fictional heroes like Batman, Spider-Man and Superman.

But every now and then, you meet a real one.

For over 30 years, Andrew Forbes and his crew of skilled steel erectors, have helped build some of Western Canada’s most challenging bridges and infrastructure projects. From iconic river crossings and complex steel er****ons to mentoring the next generation of builders, his leadership, knowledge and steady hand have left a mark on projects across the province.

The legacy he’s building through the people he’s taught and the standards he’s set… that’s the one that will last.

Poll: Should we make a bridge building comic book?!

The new Jean Marie River Bridge is officially open to traffic!

Formula is proud to have completed this important infrastructure project on Highway 1 in the Northwest Territories ahead of schedule.

The new single-span steel girder bridge provides a safer, more reliable crossing, improves access for wide and oversized loads, and offers increased clearance to accommodate higher flood levels.

While the bridge is now open, crews will remain on-site over the next month completing the remaining construction activities and final project work. Drivers are asked to obey all posted signage, reduce their speed and use extra caution while travelling through the active work area.

A big thank you to our crews, partners, subcontractors and everyone involved in safely bringing this project across the finish line!
