Steel Detailing for Bridge development project

SteelNine undertook the steel detailing for the rehabilitation of an aging bridge, encompassing expansion joints, parapet rails, deck drains, girder strengthening, and bearing installations.

Challenges

The primary challenge was strengthening the existing girders of a bridge constructed in the 1950s to meet modern safety and load-bearing standards.

Solutions

SteelNine collected detailed data on the bridge’s original design and construction from the 1950s. This involved reviewing historical blueprints and engineering reports to inform precise and effective steel detailing solutions aimed at enhancing girder strength. By leveraging historical insights, SteelNine ensured that the rehabilitation work was both structurally sound and historically sensitive.
