Safer crossings. Fewer closures. Reduced maintenance, reconstruction and replacement costs. A rigorous bridge inspection program can offer innumerable benefits. But to realize them, you need a firm that knows how to do it right. Over four decades, Thornton Tomasetti has built an unrivaled reputation for excellence and accuracy in bridge inspection. And we’re more familiar than any other firm with the regulations governing the inspection of bridges.

Bridge Resident Engineering Inspection
Our resident engineers are well-versed in design and construction – including issues unique to infrastructure. So they provide authoritative answers to the questions that arise during bridge construction and rehabilitation. Throughout construction, we help keep your project on schedule and under budget, minimize traffic disruptions and maintain community support. We know how to balance the competing priorities of local and public agencies, transportation authorities, railroad owners, communities, emergency services and public officials.
