Services
Structural Design
SDR Engineering provides tailored structural design services for bridges and infrastructure, adhering to AASHTO and state-specific codes. Our expertise includes concrete, steel, and segmental bridges, ensuring innovative, cost-effective solutions. With advanced modeling techniques, we address complex projects nationwide.
Structural Evaluation and Rehabilitation
We conduct comprehensive assessments of aging infrastructure, utilizing hands-on inspections and advanced analysis. Our rehabilitation solutions employ traditional methods and advanced composite materials, extending the lifespan of bridges while meeting safety and budgetary requirements across multiple states.
Load Testing
Our load testing services use cutting-edge instrumentation to evaluate structural behavior, ensuring accurate load ratings. By combining field data with finite element analysis, we validate structural integrity and eliminate load restrictions for bridges nationwide.
Non-Destructive Testing
SDR offers ground-penetrating radar, ultrasonic testing, and infrared analysis to assess structural conditions without damage. These methods identify hidden flaws, enabling precise repairs for bridges where plans are unavailable or visual access is limited.
Emergency Repair
We provide rapid response for impact-damaged and fire-damaged structures, using advanced composites and heat-straightening techniques. Our team ensures cost-effective, accelerated repairs to restore functionality and safety for critical infrastructure.
