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.
