Recent failures of major structures have prompted growing public concern about bridge safety, and the Federal government estimates that more than half of the nation’s 264,000 state and interstate bridges and its 302,000 city, town and county bridges are structurally deficient or functionally obsolete. While Massachusetts seeks to rectify this critical situation, Bayside Engineering’s broad experience in bridge design and rehabilitation will certainly be an asset, as we maintain an active role in the rehabilitation of the Commonwealth’s bridges and culverts.

Since 1975, the firm has been performing bridge inspections and ratings of all types as part of the Massachusetts Bridge Rating Program for MassDOT. To date, we have reported on over 3,000 structures. Many reports with repair recommendations have resulted in subsequent rehabilitation or replacement design contracts. Massachusetts cities and towns are now tasked with maintaining and safeguarding the many bridge and culvert structures located within their communities, and state and federal governments have transferred responsibility directly to the municipality to contract for professional bridge engineering services. Bayside has been providing these services successfully, efficiently and economically to numerous municipalities throughout Massachusetts.

We have completed bridge engineering design projects for MassDOT, the City of Boston, MBTA, local municipalities and private clients. Bayside Engineering has designed additional types of bridge structures, including single and multi-span trusses, single and multi-span pre-stress concrete superstructures, steel plate girders, steel plate curve girders, steel stringer bridges, design of highway bridges in MA, and historic rehabilitation.

Building on decades of experience with bridge design engineering services, bridge construction engineering, and related roadway services, Bayside Engineering has constructed a project approach for our clients that is targeted, efficient, productive and safe. Our continual involvement with professional organizations and educational institutions has kept us abreast of the latest techniques and materials available to provide our clients with the most cost-effective and durable designs. We are particularly qualified in bridge rehabilitation, so our knowledge of salvaging techniques significantly reduces both construction time and costs without sacrificing safety. Whatever the project, Bayside Engineering offers the qualifications, experience, professional staff and in-house resources needed to solve almost any individual bridge problem.
