BRIDGE CONDITIONS & RATINGS

Bridges are designed to carry rated vehicle loads by engineers that design them. They require continuous inspection, maintenance and repair. Often this work is deferred until there are significant structural concerns.

Our services include routine and forensic inspection and testing, analytical rating and documentation a bridge’s capacity to carry vehicles, and design of major maintenance and repairs to correct deficiencies.

RESIDENT ENGINEERING / OWNER PROJECT MANAGER

On-site, full-time professional in responsible charge on behalf of an Owner during construction. This service is also known as owner representation (OR) or project manager (OPM). We use the term Resident Engineer for projects that we assign a full-time professionally licensed engineer in responsible charge of assuring the quality and compliance of a contractors work in accordance with complex technical and engineering designs with performance that meets threshold limits on waste, such as wastewater treatment or other industrial process.
