What are Cast Steel Connectors

Cast steel structural components are engineered cast steel products that are designed and manufactured to meet the arduous demands associated with their integration into a structural system – like a building or a bridge.

How Castings are Made

CAST CONNEX steel castings are made from ASTM grades fit for structural purpose and chosen to meet project requirements.

Force-Informed Geometry

All base UI elements are made using Nested Symbols and shared styles that are logically connected with one another.

Design-Built Structural Solution

CAST CONNEX offers design-build services for custom-cast steel nodes and components. We leverage steel casting manufacturing to offer our clients unparalleled opportunities for optimization and beauty in structural form.

The Frances Appleton Bridge was part of the master plan to restore the iconic 1908 Longfellow Bridge across the Charles River between Boston and Cambridge. The older, obsolete pedestrian bridge next to the historic bridge was replaced with this wider, ADA compliant structure that better complements the arches of Longfellow.

The new bridge deck arch is contemporary in appearance and very transparent, in order to not obstruct views of Longfellow Bridge, the river, and parkland.

The slender main steel arch span is on the order of 222 feet (68 m) long and are connected to approach ramps that appear to float over the landscape before settling next to the river.
