Foothills Bridge Co currently has engineers licensed in California, Colorado, Louisiana, Oregon, Washington state and Washington , D.C. We are certified by the NCEES for licensure in all 50 states.
ENGINEERED ERECTION PLANS
A thorough erection plan can not only ensure stability of a structure during construction, but can be an effective tool to communicate means and methods to the owner and your erection crew. We specialize in heavy jacking and lifting methods, sliding and roll-out schemes as well as girder erection by crane.
ENGINEERED DISMANTLING PLANS
We have experience in engineering the complete or partial removal of structures in the most challenging and congested environments. In particular, our experience with rivet removal, abatement of lead-based coatings, protective covers and containment systems can be a particular advantage on demolition projects.
ENGINEERED RETROFIT PLANS
We embrace the unique challenges presented when upgrading older structures. Our systematic approach deals with access requirements, protective cover, debris containment, partial bridge removal and installation of retrofit components. We have experience in suspension cable investigation and remediation, bearing replacement, viscous damper installation, member strengthening, and bridge widening.
PEER REVIEWS
We are available to provide design peer reviews, second stamp services and to provide extra support on specialty work or complex designs.
ACCESS AND PROTECTIVE COVER SYSTEMS
Our belief is that access systems and protective covers should provide a “value-added” component. We strive to develop systems that are not only safe and reliable but enhance your workers’ productivity.
FALSEWORK AND EXCAVATION SHORING
Our engineers can provide you with safe and cost-effective falsework and excavation shoring systems. We specialize in finding alternative solutions when vertical ground-supported systems are not feasible. We are also proficient in California Falsework Design.
HEAVY LIFTING SYSTEMS
For large lifting, lowering or skidding operations, we can provide a complete design that addresses displacement and force control and monitoring. We have experience in coordinating large systems of high tonnage cylinders as well as heavy lifting and lowering using strand jacks.
