Bridge Rehabilitation & Load Upgradation

MoRTH / IAHE certified bridge rehabilitation engineering across India. Specializing in load capacity upgrades (66T to 100T freight certification), IRC SP:51 static load testing, POT-PTFE bearing replacement under synchronized hydraulic jacking, and underwater pier jacket restrengthening for NHAI, State PWDs, and toll concessionaires.

Critical Bridge Vulnerabilities We Engineer Solutions For

Highway and railway bridges operate under harsh dynamic impact and cyclic weather fatigue. We deliver code-compliant retrofits per IRC SP:40 and IRC SP:51.

Capacity Upgradation Needs

Older bridges designed for 66T axle loadings require verification and structural strengthening for 100T multi-axle freight under modern IRC:6 standards.

Deck Slab Deterioration

Wearing coat degradation, waterproofing failure, expansion joint leakage, and active rebar corrosion compromising deck slab load transfer.

River Scour & Substructure Tilt

Intense seasonal hydraulic currents inducing foundation scour around river piers, demanding underwater NDT and well/pile jacketing.

Bearing Distortion & Seizure

Elastomeric and POT-PTFE bearings reaching end of design life, seized articulation causing severe secondary shear stresses in substructure caps.

Prestress Loss & PSC Cracking

Tendon corrosion, grout voiding, and shear cracking in post-tensioned PSC box girders and I-girders requiring external prestressing.

Proof Load Certification

Statutory NHAI, MoRTH, and State PWD mandates requiring rigorous static load testing per IRC SP:51-2015 before permitting heavy freight.

Bridge Structures Under Our Rehabilitation Portfolio

Proven methodology across PSC box girders, steel trusses, balanced cantilevers, and composite viaduct structures.

National & State Highway Bridges

Prestressed concrete (PSC), reinforced concrete (RCC), and steel-concrete composite viaducts.

Railways ROBs & RUBs

Road-Over-Bridges and Road-Under-Bridges subject to high cyclic impact and railway clearances.

Urban Flyovers & Elevated Corridors

City flyovers, elevated expressways, and trumpet interchanges under continuous live traffic.

Major River Bridges

Multi-span deep-well foundation river crossings demanding bathymetric scour analysis.

Culverts & Minor Bridges

Slab bridges, box culverts, and arch crossings on arterial feeder networks.

Pedestrian Skywalks & FOBs

Pedestrian foot-over bridges, airport connecting walkways, and transit terminal links.
