en.Wedoany.com Reported - Anderson UnderBridge, a U.S. manufacturer of bridge inspection access equipment, has recently introduced a series of rapid-deployment under-bridge access solutions for bridge owners, transportation departments, and contractors. The equipment can be deployed in 10 minutes or less, utilizing a single-lane operation design to minimize traffic disruption. The platform can rotate 180 degrees, providing extensive coverage beneath the bridge. Manufactured in the United States, the system incorporates over 100 safety features and is supported by a nationwide network for sales, rental, operator training, and service. Currently, the equipment has been adopted by transportation departments, contractors, and engineering firms across multiple regions in North America.
Headquartered in York, South Carolina, Anderson UnderBridge was founded in 2015 and is a portfolio company of Compass Group, a private investment firm based in St. Louis. The company specializes in designing and manufacturing professional under-bridge access equipment for bridge inspection, maintenance, and repair, addressing long-standing industry challenges such as full-bridge closures, traffic congestion, and complex scaffolding setups. All Hydra series platforms are manufactured domestically in the United States using North American steel and aerospace-grade aluminum, ensuring compliance with "Buy America" regulations.
Anderson UnderBridge offers a full range of under-bridge access platforms, from the trailer-mounted HP35 to the truck-mounted HPT66. The Hydra series platforms can be deployed within 5 to 10 minutes, maintaining single-lane operation while providing 10 to 20 times the workspace of an aerial work platform. Each platform has a load capacity of 1,400 pounds (approximately 635 kilograms) and can accommodate up to five technicians working simultaneously. The equipment can move along the bridge while deployed, eliminating the need for repeated setup and teardown. Platforms are equipped with built-in power, air, and water connections to support inspection equipment and cleaning operations.
Anderson UnderBridge's equipment has been adopted by transportation departments in over 20 U.S. states and has been used in iconic projects such as the San Francisco Bay Bridge, where 10 platforms operated simultaneously to efficiently complete the project. The company operates a nationwide rental fleet of over 50 units, with an average utilization rate exceeding 80%, and has trained more than 1,000 operators through Anderson UnderBridge University. The company also provides 24/7 technical support with a 15-minute response commitment. Anderson UnderBridge CEO Jamie Roush stated that the company's mobile under-bridge equipment offers customers a variety of innovative ways to perform bridge maintenance tasks, even in hard-to-reach conditions. In August 2025, Anderson UnderBridge entered into a vendor financing agreement with the Equipment Finance division of First Citizens Bank to provide financing support for customers purchasing or renting under-bridge access equipment. The widespread application of this equipment helps improve the efficiency and safety of bridge inspection and maintenance operations while reducing disruption to public road traffic.
