Bridge Design

Cadre specializes in structural design, detailing, plan preparation and quantity takeoffs for a variety of bridge types. Our experience allows us to begin detailing with minimal information from our clients, such as a General Plan. We have worked with Caltrans, local agencies, Rail Transit agencies, DOT's and contractors.

Cadre has extensive knowledge of Caltrans structures and standards. We have prepared Flat Slab, Box Girder, I-Girder, and Steel Girder bridges and BridgeWidenings incorporating client standards. We have detailed Steel Through Girder, Prestressed Box Beam and Steel Plate Girder bridges for several railroad companies incorporating unique standards and CADD requirements.

Cadre has unique experience working on several high profile projects across the country. We have prepared plans for Precast Post-Tensioned Segmental bridges and Cablestayed bridges. We have prepared shop drawings for several contractors on a variety of bridge types and construction methods, from Segmental Balanced Cantilever and Span-By-Span in Las Vegas to an Inverted Fin Girder in Japan.

Cadre can assist you in all phases of a project from preliminary design efforts (by preparing "Advanced Planning Studies" or "Type Selection") to helping you out of a deadline crunch.
