Structural

WPG/REL has over 50 years of experience working with and managing successful County, City and State Department of Transportation (DOT) projects of all sizes, including several major transportation projects and studies. We have prepared engineering studies, analyses and the structural design of bridges, foundations, retaining walls, building structures and various other types of structures. Our combined expertise also includes bridge inspection, bridge analysis, and designing structures varying in size from small non-complex to large complex multiple span bridges, including on-site consultation during construction.
All of our structural engineers are involved in bridge design, bridge inspection, and bridge load rating for maintenance, repair, rehabilitation and replacement, as well as the design of new structures. Our structural analysis and design software can analyze a broad range from simple stringers, to continuous girders, to finite element analysis. Our staff involvement in all aspects of a diverse range of simple to complex bridge projects has led to our company’s recognition as a leading bridge engineering firm in the tri-state region.
Let the skilled professionals at WallacePancher Group help plan and design your next structural project to achieve maximum success.
