Does your bridge look like this?
These are roadway bridges and entrance bridges that have been signed off by the council, yet they do not comply with the Transit Bridge Manual. Can you guess which two are council-owned?
Is your bridge built by cowboys that don’t walk the walk?
Is it a hazard waiting for Worksafe to take over your farm?
Cheap is usually nasty-make the right choice. CHOOSE Quigley’s!
When the railing and kerbs don’t comply, vehicles can drive right through them. If the bridge isn’t designed by a qualified bridge engineer, lives can be at risk. Without rails or kerbs that comply with the bridge manual, there’s nothing to prevent vehicles from driving through a broken or missing deck.
Have you checked under your bridge lately?
Does it move even a little when you walk on it?
Your bridge might not be far from collapsing!
Would you like us to assess your bridge?
The old saying ‘a stitch in time saves nine’ applies to bridges too—it can save you a lot of money, stress, and possibly even lives!
Here are a few examples we’ve seen of bridges that were close to collapse but went unnoticed.
Old railway wagons are retired from service because they can no longer carry a container load. This means they aren’t strong enough to support the weight. So why, when placed over a creek, do some think they can bear the weight of a truck and its load?
Is your bridge complaint?
All of the bridges we build here at Quigleys are NZTA-compliant. Read the NZTA Bridge Manual here to check if yours is.

About Quigley’s Farm Bridges Ltd
- Our civil work includes bridges for several District Councils across the North Island
- While working on Transit and Council bridge contracts, we identified a real need to produce a quality bridge for farmers—one that is user-friendly and removes the stress from farming. We wanted to create a bridge that is cost-effective, high-quality, within budget, and minimizes disruption during installation
- Together with our Bridge Engineer, we designed a unique bridging system capable of clear spans up to 42 metres. Using this system, the largest bridge we’ve built and installed spanned 170 metres for Hamilton District Council, and we’ve also manufactured and installed rural farm bridges up to 54 metres
