Bridge, road & geotechnical

Engineering support for bridges, roads and ground works, from preliminary design to execution drawings and VISA checks.

From ground to structure

One team covers geotechnics, foundations, retaining structures, bridges and roads.

French project phases

We join at APS, APD, PRO, EXE or VISA and produce what each phase expects.

Seismic know-how

Seismic evaluation and design to EN 1998, including post-elastic diagnosis of existing bridges.

Where we can join your project

Phase (French practice)Our contribution
APS / APD – preliminary & detailed designCalculation models, sizing, alignment studies, quantity estimates
PRO / DCE – technical designCalculation notes, design drawings, bills of quantities
EXE – executionExecution drawings, reinforcement and steel shop drawings, BIM models
VISA – checks and updatesDesign review, comment responses, as-built updates

Standards

Eurocodes EN 1990–1999, including geotechnics (EN 1997) and seismic design (EN 1998); French rules (PS 92, BAEL, DTU, fascicules); AASHTO; national annexes on request.

Relevant experience

In France and Morocco: Dhuys bridge, Laval footbridge, Brest cable tram, seismic evaluation of the Moulay El Hassan bridge, retaining walls and barrette piles for Paris Metro line 16. In Vietnam: road network 1A at Hoa Lac, internal roads and planning for border-gate and urban areas. See the references
