Bridge + Structure Design

For decades, Volkert has provided planning, design, and improvements for bridges and structures. Our experience covers a wide range of bridge types, including steel and concrete structures for low- and high-level fixed spans; medium-level bascule bridges; long bridges over water; elevated urban interstates; multilevel interchanges; and bridges across navigable waterways.

We have received regional and national recognition for innovative bridge design concepts and the application of unique construction processes. We are also the recipient of state and national awards for bridge design.

Our forward-thinking professionals use design features and techniques to reduce future bridge maintenance costs and bring comprehensive knowledge of bridge construction techniques to provide constructable, cost-efficient plans.
