Bridge Design

Our structural engineers  have extensive experience in design, appraisal and inspection of bridge and highway structures. We have worked closely with developers, adopting authorities and commercial landowners, to provide comprehensive assistance with all forms of bridge and highway related projects. We take care to ensure that new structures are designed and developed using the latest technology and best practises. 

We are able to undertake Principal Bridge Inspections of motorway and primary highway structures, along with design appraisals of existing highway structures, to confirm load carrying capacities; and once a structure has reached the end of its working life, our engineers can work closely with demolition contractors to ensure that the removal is undertaken safely.
