Bridges and Highway Structure Consultants

Inspections and Ratings

Our bridge and highway infrastructure experts have experience in a range of structures, including small and medium-sized bridges, highways, railroad-grade separations, culverts and viaducts in rural and urban environments. Our inspections identify any areas on these structures in distress, combating them through detailed, actionable suggestions that ensure appropriate maintenance practices.

Every inspection we complete is fully in accordance with the National Bridge Inspection Standards (NBIS), AASHTO, FHWA and QC/QA procedures. This process encourages better motorist safety, more accurate and consistent structures and lower life cycle costs.

Bridge Studies and Design

TRC provides ideas to build upon and serves as the foundation to support your needs, from conceptual studies to the evaluation of rehabilitation or replacement options to the load rating of structures and anything in between. While the majority of our work follows the traditional design-bid-build process, we are very well-versed in the advantages of pursuing alternative delivery mechanisms, such as design-build and public-private partnerships, and actively participate in such projects when possible.

Leveraging the talents of seasoned professionals across a broad spectrum of disciplines, TRC confronts head-on the many regulatory, design and construction challenges you face.

Construction Solutions

Our construction solutions professionals ensure that constructed elements achieve detailed design objectives while applying effective management and QA techniques to control schedule, cost and quality. From pre-construction through construction closeout, TRC serves as your on-site expert to manage project execution and quickly resolve obstacles to completion.

With a bench strength of several hundred construction engineers and inspectors nationwide, we can precisely match your project’s needs with qualified personnel regardless of scope, size or complexity.

Source Inspection

Reliable structural concrete and steel products are vital to constructing safe, aesthetically pleasing structures that survive the test of time. Deficiencies in fabrication are quickly exposed, resulting in lost time, wasted money and potential claims. To ensure products perform as intended, TRC offers robust in-plant quality assurance, auditing and non-destructive testing capabilities to confirm that thresholds for quality are achieved. We employ more than 100 source inspection staff globally, all of whom are equipped with the needed certifications and testing equipment to effectively carry out their role.

Environmental Solutions

A proven leader in solving complex environmental challenges, our ecological, cultural resources, hazardous waste and air and noise professionals work cohesively to develop comprehensive NEPA-compliant documents that satisfy project regulatory requirements. As a valued partner to our design staff, they identify potential impacts to the environment and provide recommendations to avoid, minimize and/or mitigate environmental impacts while supporting public involvement efforts.
