Creating safer bridge infrastructure
We understand that bridges are vital community assets. They support everyday journeys, keep freight and local economies moving, provide access during emergencies and help communities grow.
At pitt&sherry, we provide experienced bridge engineering services that support key stages of the asset lifecycle – from planning, concept design, optioneering and independent proof engineering, through to inspections, load assessments, strengthening and rehabilitation.
We work collaboratively with government agencies, contractors, local councils, and other bridge asset owners, drawing on our team’s technical experience, whole-of-life asset thinking, and practical delivery experience.
Our bridge services are designed to help clients plan for long-term asset performance, safety, critical community access and network resilience.
What we do
Our bridge engineering services
Our team designs, assesses, and strengthens new and existing bridges that help communities stay connected and support safer, more resilient transport networks.
Asset management
Effective asset management can support more informed infrastructure planning and investment decisions. We help clients understand asset condition, network criticality and potential consequences to inform asset management planning and investment decisions.
Bridge design
We provide concept, detailed and constructability-led design for road, rail and pedestrian bridges - from regional crossings that provide vital community access to landmark structures.
Bridge emergency response
Our emergency response is more than simply attending site after an incident. It may include rapid engineering mobilisation, risk assessment, temporary works advice, recovery planning and restoration of critical transport links depending on project requirements.
Bridge inspections
Level 1-3 inspections, structural investigations and asset condition assessments support our clients in understanding asset condition, managing risk and prioritising investment.
Bridge proof engineering
Our bridge engineering team provides independent proof engineers who review and provide certification of bridge and temporary works designs.
Heritage bridges
We support bridge owners to make informed decisions about preserving, managing and extending the service life of heritage bridge assets through inspections, structural assessments, conservation planning, load assessments, rehabilitation, strengthening and heritage-sensitive repair design.
Load assessments of existing bridges
Load assessments calculated from current-condition inspections help asset owners understand bridge capacity and inform decisions about current and future traffic restrictions.
Rehabilitation, repair and strengthening
We design targeted rehabilitation, repair and strengthening services designed to support capacity, durability and service life outcomes where appropriate.
Site superintendent services
Our site superintendent services provide bridge clients with experienced on-site contract administration, technical oversight and construction-phase support.
