Sahale, LLC specializes in the design, engineering, construction and repair of trails, trail bridges, and long span cable bridges. Our bridges and trails are designed to accommodate every possible recreational user including hikers, equestrians, skiers, and cyclists. Our largest pedestrian bridges are suitable for light vehicle traffic including snow cats, pickup trucks, and sport utility vehicles and and Sahale heavy vehicle bridges meet current AASHTO heavy vehicle load requirements for buses, and multiple axle trucks including semi-tractor trailers and concrete trucks. Many of our trails and bridges meet ADA accessibility standards. You may have already crossed a Sahale bridge or used a Sahale trail. Our handiwork can be found across the country, whether you are hiking the Appalachian Trail, skiing the groomed ski trails of the Methow Valley in Washington State, backpacking the forest trails of the Oregon Coast, or trail riding the rugged backcounty of the high Sierra; Sahale has been there to design and build trails and bridges that rest easily on the natural landscape, as aesthetically pleasing as they are functional. Sahale bridges are simple and modular in concept. Every structure contains unique design elements in galvanized or self-weathering steel, native, or treated timber, and galvanized or stainless cable, as requested by our Federal, State, Municipal or private clients. Need a bridge longer than 100'? A Sahale cable bridge can vault hundreds of feet further than heavy, rigid bridge designs. They are especially ideal for distant, rugged sites that are accessible only by trail or air. Whether you order your bridge as a package and erect it yourself, or ask Sahale to perform the installation, the results are always the same: Graceful and aesthetically pleasing bridges that can be erected anywhere, even the most remote locations. Construction methods that result in minimal environmental disturbance. Bridges that can be built with relatively simple equipment and methods. Whether your public or private land has an access problem in need of a trail, bridge, or long-span cable bridge, or your existing infrastructure is in need of upgrade and repair, Sahale has the experience and know-how to be of assistance. Sahale is dedicated to the concept that integration of planning, design, engineering, and construction processes produces the most cost effective, efficient, environmentally sensitive, and well-built end products. In the context of this design/build philosophy, Sahale seeks projects and opportunities in providing planning, design, engineering, construction, project and natural resource management services that demand exceptional technical expertise, craftsmanship, sensitivity to the natural environment, and adherence to the highest principles of stewardship and conservation.
