Bridge and Civil Engineering

Granite with its attractive appearance and a compression strength several times greater than concrete, resistance to impact and resistance to the difficult environments of road salt, deicing chemicals, salt and brackish water, and repeated freeze thaw cycles has been an important factor for civil engineering applications for bridge piers, bridge cladding, sea walls, etc. Fletcher Granite is the largest supplier in North America of dimensional granite for bridge and civil engineering projects.

Fletcher Granite has superior in-quarry production of thick slab and rough block materials. Our high capacity splitters are able to handle slabs up to 10 feet wide and 42 inches high. Skilled tradesmen and state-of-the-art equipment enable our fabrication plant to operate efficiently.
