Multidisciplinary bridge design
Major fixed links and long causeway projects in particular, are highly multidisciplinary and cover input from traffic, hydrodynamic and environmental planning studies to financial and operational aspects.
Durable bridge structures
The design and building of bridges within the Gulf Region demand skills to address the harsh environmental conditions especially in the coastal areas.
Durability is one of the most important Challenges for our designers where the specification of high performing aggregates and the incorporation of stainless steel reinforcement are some of the measures taken to prolong the life of concrete structures.
