Bridges, Civil and Marine Structures

Rapid decarbonisation demands require our societies to prolong the life of civil infrastructure where it is safe and practical to do so. Repurposing existing assets or designing new infrastructure with novel and/or recycled materials, reduces load on our environment. Advanced Tier 3 and 4, plausibility and probabilistic assessments are becoming more frequently required to manage these assets safely.

Our team has been assessing bridges, jetties and wharves, and designing mechanically stabilised earth (MSE) walls, culverts and buried metals structures, for a combined total of more than 50 years. We understand that traffic loads are increasing in both magnitude and frequency, in response to society’s evolving needs. In a resource constrained world, we employ a future-focussed, innovative, and cost-effective approach to optimise the lifecycle of these assets.
