Highway, Rail & Pedestrian Bridges

Girder erection over live highways, rail corridors and waterways, interchanges, flyovers and river crossings, with maintenance-of-traffic sequencing built into the erection plan.

  • Plate girder, tub girder and rolled-beam superstructures
  • Night and weekend closures planned around the pick schedule
  • Cross frames, diaphragms and stay-in-place deck forms

Complex Girder Systems & Staged Construction

Curved and skewed girders, long spans and phased replacements where the structure has to carry traffic while it is being rebuilt. Sequencing, temporary support and stability are engineered before the first pick.

  • Curved and skewed girder erection
  • Phased superstructure replacement under traffic
  • Temporary shoring, falsework and holding cranes

Accelerated Bridge Construction

ABC projects compress months of work into days. We plan the lifts, the crane positions and the crew rotations so the closure window is met and the roadway reopens on time.

  • Prefabricated superstructure units and full-span picks
  • Weekend and overnight closure execution
  • Multi-crane lifts planned by in-house engineers

Bridge Steel Rehabilitation & Repair

Jacking, jacking towers and falsework, bearing replacement, welded and bolted member repair, strongback installation and heat straightening, extending the service life of bridge steel without taking the structure out of service.

  • Jacking, towers, falsework and bearing replacement
  • Welded and bolted repair, strongbacks and member replacement
  • Heat straightening and emergency impact repair
