  • Loading to AS 5100 for vehicles, pedestrians and flood debris
  • Deck, girder, pier and abutment design
  • Foundations from geotechnical investigation
  • Approach embankments, scour and drainage
  • Durability for a long design life

Construction support

Shop drawing reviews, site inspections and responses to construction issues keep the build matching the design.
