STRUCTURAL

TWM’s structural staff boasts extensive experience designing structures to stand the test of time. We are your trusted partner in designing and optimizing structures for a sustainable future. Our team provides comprehensive support across all phases of structural projects, including project scoping, conceptual planning with alternative solutions, preliminary design, final design and plan development, specifications, and estimates.

WHAT WE DO

TWM structural engineers focus on delivering structures that are cost-effective, safe, easily constructible, and durable. Our blend of experience from preliminary design through design of construction works gives us a broad perspective. We have a detail-oriented staff who apply their knowledge to your specific project. We take great pride in our structures and their permanence.

Roadway Bridges

We assist with all phases of a bridge project including project scoping, conceptual planning with alternatives, preliminary design, hydraulics, and bridge layout to meet site constraints, final design and plans, specifications, and estimates.

Roadway Bridges

Pedestrian & Shared-Use Bridges

TWM’s engineers have unique expertise. While many engineers specify a pre-fabricated pedestrian truss designed by others, we have designed custom “signature” pedestrian bridges for clients.

Bridge Inspections & Load Ratings

TWM has designed comprehensive bridge inspection programs for clients who require robust methods for monitoring and maintaining bridges. Our team also performs bridge inspection and load rating services for rural and urban settings.

Value Engineering

We regularly work with contractors on projects to propose value engineering changes during construction to improve bridges without reducing their functionality, resulting in savings.

Retaining Walls & Slope Stabilization

Our team specializes in retaining wall designs that prioritize both structural integrity and aesthetic appeal. Our slope stability design methods include adding a surface cover to slopes, installing drilled shafts for stabilization, excavating or regrading slope geometry, or using drainage to control groundwater.

Industrial Structures

Each building functions differently, and our structural engineers have the insight, understanding, and expertise to provide custom solutions for any project size, including ports, platforms, chemical plants, underground structures, and more.

Wastewater Structures

Our structural design experience for wastewater includes concrete tanks, foundations, CMU buildings, platforms, walkways, retaining walls, and pipe bridges.

Wastewater Structures

Rail Bridges

Our team is dedicated to creating robust and cost-effective solutions that meet the unique challenges of the railroad industry. We have designed railroad bridges, temporary shoring adjacent to railroads, and permanent railroad retaining walls.

Construction Phase Engineering

Some of our most complicated and interesting structural design projects are construction phase projects. We assist contractors in developing methods of construction that accomplish the desired intent, do not cause damage to structures, and are safe. Our work as structural consultants to contractors focuses on the items that are unknown during design and frequently involves partial structures. Our objectives are to provide strength, stability, and serviceability for the steps required to demolish and construct bridges.
