Preserving Bridge Infrastructure

Bridge repair is one of the biggest challenges for owners and operators. Even the most well-designed bridges are vulnerable to environmental exposure, increasing traffic loads, and unexpected hazards. To extend their service life, timely repair and protection are essential.

Common bridge types we service: Roadway bridges, railway bridges, reinforced and prestressed concrete bridges, steel bridges, girder bridges, stay cable bridges, arch bridges, truss bridges, and more.

 

  • Aging materials (concrete, steel, timber, masonry)
  • Cracking or spalling from alkali-silica reaction
  • Carbonation of concrete
  • Chloride penetration
  • Chemical exposure (pollution, acid rain)
  • Freeze-thaw cycles

  • Change in use or increased loads
  • Clearance or regulatory updates
  • Material fatigue from traffic
  • Creep, shrinkage, or settlement
  • Missing or damaged expansion joints
  • Design or construction defects

  • Overloading
  • Ground movement or earthquakes
  • Excessive vibrations
  • Fire or flooding
  • Collisions
