Bridges
Our passion for good infrastructure starts with good bridges, as the most striking public display of our engineering skills. We love the challenge of spanning rivers, roads and railways, with new links for people, cars and trains, often in the most constrained and testing of environments, where our holistic technical experience and problem solving ensures there is no challenge we can’t overcome.
We lead Design & Construction Teams with our specialist bridge engineering skills, to deliver sustainable and efficient solutions, including;
- Initial site condition and principal inspection
- New design of bridges in stone, masonry, concrete and steel
- Innovative material use (GRP, FRP, MMC)
- Advanced existing structure assessment
- Rehabilitation of existing and heritage infrastructure
- Innovative engineering, and;
- Technical Project Management.
Our extensive portfolio, viewable here, showcases our ability to deliver diverse bridge design projects, from the small rural crossing in the West of Ireland, to the mega projects of our European cities, specific to our Client's needs. Partner with us to create resilient infrastructure that connects and enhances our communities.
