Tren-Tech provides bridge jacking design to support contractors planning bridge maintenance and repair work. Our services cover lifting associated with bearing pad replacement, bent cap repairs and concrete restoration.

Project-specific temporary support

Engineering scope may include jack beams, jacking frames and shoring solutions tailored to the bridge and proposed work. Our approach includes finite element analysis to evaluate structural effects associated with the lifting operation.

Coordinate design with the repair work

Bridge jacking requirements depend on the existing structure and the planned construction operation. Provide available bridge drawings, repair plans, existing-condition information and proposed equipment when requesting engineering support. The required design information and deliverables will be confirmed during scope review.

Project spotlight: SH36 bridge jacking for TxDOT

Tren-Tech Company provided bridge jacking design for the State Highway 36 (SH36) project for the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT). This project is one example of our experience supporting contractors with project-specific bridge jacking engineering.

The project photo below shows the temporary steel support system and hydraulic jacking equipment beneath the bridge. It offers a look at the field work behind the design and the equipment arrangement used on this project.
