Why Choose KB Engineering for historic bridge DESIGN
We have been intimately involved with preserving historic bridges for many years and have developed partnerships with owners and contractors in the historic bridge community. If you have a bridge you want to preserve, we know what to do and how to do it! If you want a truss bridge, but don't know how to get one, we have all the connections to people that are looking for a good home for their bridges. Whether it be on a trail, or rehabilitating for vehicular use, we've done it.
With our history in this work and our passion for it, there is additional value you get with KB Engineering. We want to make the rehabilitated structure as true to its original construction as possible. Some of the benefits of our services include:
Authentic Design: Our goal is to rehabilitate or reconstruct the bridge modeling old techniques and function, utilizing new technology.
Hidden Modern Repairs: Sometimes, more significant repairs are warranted and can detract from the bridge's character, but at KB Engineering, we strive to make those repairs hidden so that it doesn't distract from the bridge.
Landmark Creation: We pride ourselves on our work and most of the bridges we have rehabilitated become new landmarks where people come to visit, take pictures, and celebrate important moments of their lives.
Our Truss Bridge rehabilitation Process
The first step in our bridge rehabilitation process is to evaluate the condition of the bridge. We will then develop a plan of action and discuss with you the condition and required elements that will need to be modified and provide a preliminary estimate. Then you decide the next steps and we will take your project through the design process and preparation the bridge plans. Once the design is complete, we will work with contractors on the construction phase.
During the restoration process, we will take care to preserve as much of the original material as possible. We will also use high-quality materials that will help to ensure the durability and reduced maintenance of the bridge after rehabilitation.
Once the restoration is complete, we will provide you with maintenance recommendations and schedule that will help to keep your restored bridge in good condition for many years to come.
