Baker's Haulover Cut Bridge Rehabilitation

Baker's Haulover Cut Bridge Rehabilitation

Removing redundant members instead of replacing them saved $1 million in construction costs for the Baker's Haulover Cut Bridge rehabilitation!

The project team used a complex finite element analysis (FEA) model to plan repairs. Among other findings, the model showed that certain bracing members in need of replacement were, in fact, unnecessary for the integrity of the bridge.

This allowed them to focus their time and funds on repairing, cleaning, and painting the bracing that mattered.
