Bridge Design & Inspection


 
Lu Engineers provides comp-rehensive bridge rehabilitation and replacement design services for transportation agencies and municipalities throughout New York State. Our firm has received awards and recognition for innovative concepts in bridge design. Our expertise ranges from the replacement of simple 2-lane bridges over sensitive waterways to the reconstruction of complex bridge structures.

Lu's bridge design staff will bring a project through the initial scoping phases, evaluate alternative structure types, and perform the preliminary design, final design, and support during construction. Our in-house staff can provide bridge feasibility studies that include alignment studies, environmental investigations, structural engineering, cost estimates, and traffic modeling to determine future traffic volumes. We have experience designing with a variety of materials including steel, concrete, pre-stressed concrete, and timber for all types of bridges. Our in-depth understanding of construction staging will help to minimize any unnecessary impacts to the commuters and residents of the local community.

Lu Engineers has an experienced staff of engineers and bridge inspectors who perform bridge inspections, load ratings, scour evaluations, and a wide variety of other bridge design related services for state and municipal clients. Our work has included biannual, underwater and railroad bridge inspections. We have NISET inspectors who are fully knowledgeable with current NYSDOT, FHWA and AASHTO inspection and load rating requirements. Our experience includes inspecting numerous major long-span bridges as well as bridges with high traffic volumes.
