Innovative movable bridge design and engineering

Multidisciplinary planning, design and construction phase services for movable bridges.

Blending structural architectural, mechanical and electrical disciplines, EXP’s decades of experience in movable bridges has resulted in innovations across the asset life cycle.

As a leading bridge engineering firm, EXP brings expertise in the inspection and condition assessment, planning, design and construction of movable bridges including bascule, rolling lift bascule, trunnion style bascule, swing bridges, vertical lifts and drawbridges, among others.

Our design experience includes both structural bridge design, as well as movable bridge machinery. The beginnings of EXP’s work in the design of movable bridges led to the redefinition of bascule bridge design with the “unbalanced” bascule lead and state-of-the-art bridge controls. Since then, EXP has led the design and construction management of countless more.
