Bridges and Structural Engineering
Delivering integrated construction services to build lasting success
When you partner with TranSul, you not only get innovative solutions, you get our fully vested team and a commitment to doing things right. Our relentless focus on success leads to smarter more collaborative building practices.
No matter the challenge, we build on what we know works and elevate your vision of success
Building Structures
TranSul unites a professional network of inventive and highly skilled building engineers and design specialists. Together, we are best known for helping to shape ambitious buildings.
While our most recognisable work is in complex, groundbreaking structures, many of which TranSul’s input made it possible, it is better building performance that drives us.
With world-class expertise – creative and technical – we help to realise buildings that are better because they are more useful and attractive to the people who own and inhabit them, more sympathetic to their context and more commercially sustainable.
TranSul offers fully integrated services to meet financial, social, environmental and aesthetic needs, based on our experience of designing, building, maintaining and managing thousands of bridge projects.
Bridge Engineering
From the onset of modern civilisation, bridges have been both iconic structures and vital transportation routes that have helped to connect our world. From early designs using natural resources, to modern engineering techniques and advances in building materials, bridge construction has evolved in unison with the increasing demands of humankind.
Today’s bridges have become lifelines for major cities, and transportation agencies face a myriad of challenges to optimise the flow of goods and people. From ensuring the operability of ageing structures, to planning, financing, and constructing modern replacements that improve accessibility, solutions to the challenges posed by bridges are essential to social and economic development.
TranSul’s expertise extends to all types of bridges, from viaducts and interchanges to pedestrian bridges. Having designed, analysed, built, maintained, and managed thousands of bridge projects, we are able to offer fully integrated services that address financial, social, environmental and aesthetic requirements.
All bridges require optimal designs to ensure resistance against wind, earthquakes and other external forces. Innovations in materials, equipment, and construction methods have allowed us to cross great distances in safer ways, while minimising environmental impacts. To create infrastructure that is resilient and sustainable, our bridge experts work with the latest design tools, including BIM, 3D analysis and modelling systems.
We know that all bridges are unique and require a good comprehension of the local geology, hydrology, and wind forces. The development of reliable computer software for predicting structural behaviours, both during and after construction, has helped pave the way to higher, longer, and more resilient bridges.
We look at each opportunity with fresh eyes, and take into consideration local specificities, financial realities and the desired purpose of the bridge to find the best solution.
Innovative solutions are also needed in bridge management. “We use specialised materials, new technologies and tools to support our capacities.” Like drones for bridge inspection, sensors for data collection and 3D capabilities in design.
Infrastructure agencies increasingly face challenging questions in managing their aging bridge assets. Our bridge experts help develop cost-effective ways to achieve ever-longer durability requirements. “We are experts in non-destructive testing and monitoring of bridges to assist clients with their asset management plans.” This is important because more challenges are coming. Automated trucks driving in a platooning mode will exert a new kind of stress on bridge structures.
At TranSul, the vast experience of our learned bridge team can be leveraged to help clients envision the complete lifespan of their projects, from the feasibility stage forward. Our team provides expertise in areas such as statutory approvals, heritage, structural performance monitoring, construction methods, foundations and materials, and more.
