Bridge Construction
The end-to-end process of planning, designing, and building a brand new bridge structure.
New Bridge Construction
New bridge construction is needed for many reasons including capacity expansion, corridor modernization, new rail alignment, and terrain crossing for where a bridge did not previously exist.
Phases of a new bridge construction:
- Planning: surveying and environmental reviews
- Engineering: selecting bridge type and materials, designing substructures (foundation), and planning for drainage and safety features
- Preparation: Building access roads and clearing site areas
- Excavation: Clearing rock or earth for foundations
- Construction: Installing foundations, erecting beams, installing track or decks
- Final Work: Grading, drainage, waterproofing, testing & commissioning
LRL Construction specializes in new bridge construction for railroad projects which require limited access windows, higher load demands, and tight tolerances.
What Is an Abutment and Why Is It Important to Repair and Replace Them?
Abutments are the ends of a bridge, which help a bridge maintain its structural integrity. If a client’s structure needs attention, that’s typically where abutment repair and replacement services come in. This can promote higher safety for anyone traveling across a bridge, giving you peace of mind that all who come into contact with an affected bridge are in good hands.
WHY IT WORKS
Benefits of Getting an Abutment Repaired or Replaced
- Help bridges last longer by reinforcing their quality.
- Save money by replacing or fixing the part of the bridge that needs support.
- Improve the safety factor for bridges.
