Please look up SSI's web site, below, for info and pictures about our LPSA technology. A whole "green" economic sector and "low-tech" components of new industries could be generated, based on forest thinnings in the form of small timber-in-the-round.
A LPSA pedestrian bridge twice as big as the one shown is presently being made by Iowa school children from across the educatiomnal spectrum. Together with their families and teachers, they are also to assemble the complete 20 m bridge with no construction equipment.
