Safespan Scaffolding LLC, established in 1994, specializes in providing advanced scaffolding and access solutions for bridge rehabilitation projects. The company was founded by experienced bridge contractors who sought to overcome the challenges associated with safety, inspection, and efficiency in the industry. They developed the highly-engineered Safespan Multi-Span Bridge Platform System, which offers a safer and cost-effective alternative to traditional bridge access methods. This innovative platform system was successfully demonstrated during a prototype installation on the 4,186-foot-long Robert Moses Bridge in New York, significantly reducing project duration and labor costs.

Their platforms are adaptable to various structures, including steel and concrete arches, bascule, swing bridges, and complex truss configurations. The company holds multiple U.S. patents for its cable-suspended platform designs, underscoring its commitment to innovation and safety.
