Bridges and Culverts

Economical and practical designs are essential to our Clients. The main goal of efficient and economic bridge design is to build a specific bridge for the lowest possible cost, with fewer construction materials while providing an elevated level of functionality and safety based on design criteria and legislative requirements.We have participated in Projects consisting of:

Project Management
Investigation & Reports
Concept/Detailed design of Aluminium, Steel and Timber frames for bridges
Concept/Detailed design of Prestressed and Reinforced concrete bridges
Concept/Detailed design of approaches and safety railings
Concept/Detailed design of Reinforced Concrete culverts
