Our bridge safety inspection process consists of:
Bridge Condition Inspection and Evaluation
Bridge Condition Inspection and Evaluation
Bridge Design Preliminary Engineering Study (survey,
condition survey, geotechnical boring reports)
Bridge Type Study (Value Engineering): Present superstructure alternates of
various construction materials including steel, prestressed deck units, AASHTO beams, box girders, etc.
Address environmental impacts and esthetics
Perform hydrology and hydraulic report Perform traffic signalization study Prepare field sketches and provide
illustrative photos Identify the type of foundation (spread
footing or pile foundation) Subsurface exploration and a
geotechnical report Utility coordination Evaluation of differing site conditions Address temporary shoring, cofferdams,
and dewatering systems Provide means and methods for shoring
of the adjacent structure during construction
Provide construction cost estimate for the each alternate
Final Design (final plans/complete construction documents)
Progress submissions: 30%, 60% & 100 %
Perform final design computations Prepare final plans and special
provisions for the proposed alternate
Prepare final construction cost estimates
