Client: Kubricky Construction
Project Description: This project was a rehabilitation of a Baltimore truss bridge, built in 1889. The project included removal and replacement of floor beams, stringers, and timber deck, substructure concrete repairs, pavement reconstruction at approaches, installation of box beam guide rail, and site restoration.

Project Description: The George Washington Bridge is one of the busiest bridges in the United States. Maintaining the aging steel and concrete is a constant challenge as closing portions of the bridge are extremely difficult.

Several columns originally built in the 1920’s and 1930’s were severely deteriorated and needed repair.
Our Role: To repair the columns, a portion, or the entire column needed to be removed, therefore requiring temporary support.William J. Frank Engineering prepared the plans for the temporary support columns and associated bracing. Temporary columns were required to support both the upper and lower approach ramps. Temporary support loads were up to approximately 650 kips.
