Bridge Engineering
CONTEXT-SENSITIVE BRIDGES THAT BALANCE ECONOMY, ELEGANCE, AND CONSTRUCTABILITY.
Our bridge specialists start from your needs, working to develop your ideas for the project, using our decades of integrated bridge and construction engineering expertise.
We are committed to the best overall outcome for the project team, always starting with what our contractor and owner clients have in mind. Our history in construction engineering ensures our designs are constructible, clearly defined, and appropriately specified. Further, our integration of construction engineering and temporary works into the final structure design can offer significant benefits in both cost and efficiency.
SPECIALTY EXPERTISE
PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS
100 Street Pedestrian Bridge
EDMONTON, AB
With a triple bottom line focus, we strive to create a built environment that is environmentally, socially, and economically sustainable.
Our cities, people, and economy all demand modern, reliable, and efficient infrastructure. By leveraging concrete technology innovations to improve the performance of concrete while reducing cement content, we can significantly reduce the embodied carbon impact of transportation projects. Through a holistic value engineering approach, we can deliver high-performing and innovative designs aligned with the sustainability goals and targets of the cities we serve.
NIPIGON RIVER BRIDGE
NIPIGON, ON
TRANSIT & RAIL BRIDGES
We are proven experts in transit, rail terminals, and stations, including aviation terminals, providing bridge engineering, design, and innovative solutions for analysis and investigation at the outset of any project.
BRIDGE REHABILITATION
Entuitive offers specialized expertise in bridge design and rehabilitation using a range of procurement methods, from conventional design-bid-build to design-build to public-private partnerships.
ROAD BRIDGES
Entuitive’s design and contract administration services for road bridges includes assisting clients in obtaining all required permits and approvals from numerous federal, provincial, and municipal agencies, coordinating work with local utility providers, and integrating work with new and existing road works.
PEDESTRIAN BRIDGES
We are able to quantify how occupants move through a physical space under a range of scenarios to gain insight into the user experience and inform design and renovation decision making.
TIMBER BRIDGES
We have demonstrated expertise in mass timber design, fabrication consultation, and project management, with a keen focus on mitigating construction costs for new bridges, while also extending lifespan for rehabilitation bridges.
BRIDGE DEMOLITION
We provide leadership in project management and a demonstrated capability of delivering complex structural assignments (including staged demolition and construction, structural design, temporary and permanent retaining walls, and constructability).
COMPLEX ANALYSIS & INVESTIGATION
Our team’s substantial technical abilities have been developed by decades of work on complex bridge projects, including extensive contract administration, project management, structural analysis, foundation investigations, bridge inspections, and structural evaluations. Entuitive’s demonstrated investigative skill set also includes analysis of structures on temporary supports (including SPMTs), vibration analysis, and staged construction, including full consideration of shrinkage and creep.
INTEGRATION WITH CONSTRUCTION ENGINEERING
The integration of our Construction Engineering services enables our team to tailor designs to the distinct needs of our contractor clients. Our history in construction engineering for both small and large projects informs all our work, whether for contractors or owners. Our designs are constructible, clearly defined, and appropriately specified.
