We in Brogruppen:
- Have working experience in all project stages, both early and late, from optioneering, through scheme design, to detailed design, and construction stage
- Prepare calculations for design, sizing, bearing capacity investigations and classification of bridge and structures
- Investigate bearing capacity of a bridge with regards to existing condition
- Design and draught repair measures
- Analyse the needs for strengthening of structures , and prepare comparison of alternatives, as well as design calculations and drawings for repairs and reconstruction
- Analyse and check conditions for dismantling, and demobilization of structures
- Have working experience in design and sizing, as well as draughting of various structures, and prepare structural calculations and construction drawings for:
- Concrete bridges (reinforces and prestressed, both pre- and post-tensioned)
- Steel and Composite bridges
- Road and railway bridges
- Footbridges
- Concrete tunnels (cut-and-cover)
- Temporary bridges
- Temporary technical solutions, sheet pile walls, jacking, temporary supports, pile walls
- Foundations: footings, piles
- Retaining walls
- Use our knowledge and competence in Finite element modelling and analysis (FEM) and prepare structural analyses in FEM-software such as Sofistik, Midas, Lusas, Brigade, and perform:
- Analysis for optimazation of bridge bearing arrangements with regards to conditions such position and orientation, restraints, and geometry of the structure
- Analysis of construction stages (launching), and demobilization of bridges
- Design, analysis, and planning for bridge bearing replacement
- Dynamic Modal Analysis of Footbridges
- Seismic Analysis of Bridges and Foundation
- Perform checks and reviews of construction documents
