Our expert engineers delivered innovative solutions for the safe and efficient demolition of a severely deteriorated steel truss bridge that had been closed to the public. Spanning a watercourse where no debris could enter, the project required meticulous planning to protect the environment. Adding to the challenge, access to the site was limited to a small residential roadway, preventing the use of typical large demolition equipment. Our team conducted a comprehensive structural assessment of the bridge, providing detailed plans to reinforce key structural elements, enabling safe use of demolition equipment directly on the bridge. We also designed temporary support beams and structures to ensure controlled dismantling, allowing the truss to be systematically and safely removed.
