Creating safer bridge infrastructure

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 every stage 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 support clients in achieving long-term asset performance, safety, and providing critical community access and enhanced network resilience.

Heritage bridges

We support bridge owners to preserve, manage and extend the service life of heritage bridge assets through inspections, structural assessments, conservation planning, load assessments, rehabilitation, strengthening and heritage-sensitive repair design.

Bridge emergency response

Our emergency response is more than simply attending site after an incident. It involves rapid engineering mobilisation, risk assessment, temporary works, recovery planning and restoration of critical transport links.
