We prioritize safety and reliability in several ways, including strictly following building codes and standards and implementing in-depth design and analysis.
Engineering New Possibilities for Bridges, Highway Structures, and Buildings
Nationwide design, construction and software solutions for public and private infrastructure and buildings.
Maintaining structural integrity while dealing with complex designs and regulatory compliance guidelines often presents challenges. Some projects also face material limitations due to availability and pricing, while still needing to maintain budgets and project timelines.
TRC provides integrated structural engineering services for public and private clients throughout the country to ensure the safety and constructability of their building and infrastructure assets. From airport terminals and pedestrian bridges to medical office buildings, our structural building plan engineers are prepared to design reliable infrastructure you can count on.
Build Resilient Structures With Our Tested Practitioners
With specialized expertise in seismic engineering, geotechnical engineering and construction services, we advance projects of all sizes from concept through construction. You can rely on us to ensure that construction costs, safety, aesthetics and environmental requirements are addressed.
Our regulatory knowledge extends to national and local standards,. TRC is proficient in all standard engineering software, including STAAD, RISA 3D, RISA Foundation, Mat3D, ALLPILE and LPILE. We are also the developer and owner of a suite of desktop tools for seismic analysis, evaluation and design for bridges. We’ve earned a reputation for working well with contractors and mechanical engineers on delegated structural design services.
Advance Project Quality and Efficiency With TRC’s Flexible Structural Engineering Solutions
Our experience includes site analysis, feasibility studies, final designs, bid support and a range of construction services for new and rehabilitated bridges, above- and below-ground utilities, dams, water treatment facilities, commercial site buildings and ancillary structures of all kinds. Our depth of talent and flexibility means you can access as many resources as you need to meet the size and scope of your projects.
Our services include:
- Cold-form metal framing
- Design for renovation
- Virtual construction, including laser scanning
- Building Information Modeling (BIM)
- Analysis and design of structural systems for buildings
- Lateral loading analysis and design
- Condition assessment inspections
Our structural engineers offer services that actively engage with clients throughout design and construction.
Bridges and Highway Structures
Whether revitalizing an aging bridge or addressing the need for a new or reconstructed structure, TRC’s veteran bridge engineers offer the expertise needed to plan, design and build structures that meet your capital improvement goals.
From standard highway overpasses to more complicated bridges with jointless decks, large piers and cable supports, our staff is proficient in how to design and construct what you need while meeting federal safety standards, permitting conditions and contract requirements for design aesthetics, traffic maintenance, stormwater pollution control, noise mitigation, cost and scheduling.
Our project experience includes the full range of bridge types and highway structures, including:
- Concrete arch
- Simple and multispan steel through truss
- Steel deck truss
- Precast and cast-in-place concrete slabs
- Precast/prestressed box girder and I-girder
- Steel box girder
- Concrete segmental
- Plate girder (tangent and curved)
- Retaining walls
- Highway signage
- Sheeting and shoring
- Retaining walls
- Tolling gantries
- Concrete inspection
Dams, Flood Controls and Water Resources Facilities
TRC has served the environmental and engineering needs of the water resources market for 50 years. Our staff has a long record of project experience to improve some of the nation’s largest water storage and delivery systems of reservoirs, aqueducts, power plants, pumping plants and treatment facilities.
Today’s population growth and water shortages are a real problem in many areas of the country. TRC’s structural engineering services can help you address capacity needs by analyzing the adequacy of existing assets, locating and obtaining rights and permitting for new water sources and overseeing modifications and improvements to bring your community the water it needs through decommissioning or rehabilitating existing assets or constructing new containment, conveyance and treatment infrastructure.
Dam safety and flood control are equally concerning in the advent of climate changes that cause high-magnitude storms. TRC can evaluate stability, seepage, inundation and breach hazards for dams and levees and deliver the design and construction to mitigate conditions. Our strong record includes a variety of emergency repair and rehabilitation projects for dams and setback levees that involved raising levee roads, soil/cement/bentonite mixing, cutoff walls, reinforced concrete footing, floodwalls, seepage berms, earthfill, road grading and rock slope protection.
Building Plan Engineering
TRC specializes in performing engineering and plan reviews for building projects to ensure designs meet code criteria. We work directly with contractors and construction inspectors to provide structural engineering inspections and correct noncompliant work.
We excel in providing constructability and value engineering reviews to minimize risk, prevent claims and make the budget go further. We also support bid advertisements, evaluations and awards to ensure optimum cost savings and compliance with procurement laws.
