Bridge Design

Design & Rehabilitation  

PKB Engineering has provided complete bridge design services for new construction, replacement, rehabilitation, and repair projects for both the public and private sectors, including but not limited to culverts, short-span bridges, and long-span bridges.  Our design services experience includes highway and railroad bridges, from the conceptual stage through to the final design stage.  

Our experience in the design and rehabilitation includes the following structures:  

  • Simple Span Bridges 
  • Multi-Span Bridges 
  • Railroad Bridges 
  • Complex Structures such as Curved Girders 
  • Culverts 
  • Timber Bridges 
  • Truss Bridges 

Our extensive design experience includes new bridge or major bridge rehabilitation construction requiring complex staging strategies which is typical for the NJ/NY metro area. We strive to provide innovative concepts and latest technology for all our bridge design projects that enhance bridge performance and reduce maintenance costs, such as reducing deck joints where possible, utilizing high performance materials and implementing Accelerated Bridge Construction (ABC) techniques to expedite construction and minimize traffic impacts.  

Our engineers have designed of all types of bridges using a wide variety of materials, including steel, weathering steel, concrete, high-performance concrete, prestressed concrete, and timber.
