Louisiana’s first design-build project. Parsons provided planning and design services for the Sheikh Khalifa Bridge, one of the largest bridges in the Middle East, linking the port district of Abu Dhabi with the cultural district of Saadiyat Island. We served as engineer-of-record on the Tacoma Narrows Bridge, which serves as the primary link between the Seattle-Tacoma metropolitan area in Washington, was the first major suspension bridge to utilize the design-build delivery method. Parsons oversaw seismic design and incorporated several innovative design techniques. In addition, we are providing program management for the 5,300-meter-long Messina Strait Bridge, an engineering marvel that will span treacherous waters to establish the long-awaited connection between Sicily and mainland Italy.

Parsons is a bridge design and engineering industry leader, offering many specialized services, including the following:

Structural health monitoring and inspection to safely extend asset life Corrosion detection in suspension bridge cable wire

Development of weigh-in-motion systems incorporating video surveillance Design, analysis, and rehabilitation of orthotropic deck systems

Seismic design and rehabilitation

Pipeline bridge design, construction, and inspection

Accelerated project delivery (e.g., Public-private partnership, design-build, disaster recovery).

Whether simple or complex, our team of bridge and tunnel professionals have the experience needed to meet current and future needs of our customers.

TUNNELS, CONNECTING INFRASTRUCTURE

ACROSS THE GLOBE

In addition to our bridge work, Parsons serves the underground engineering and program management needs of a diverse domestic and international clientele, lending our expertise to projects such as underground utilities, water storage and transportation tunnels, and underground

buildings.

Parsons partnered with local and state transportation officials to provide environmental document and design services for this project. We also participated in the Washington, D.C., Metro twin-tunnel program, cited by the American Underground Association as one of the most significant tunneling projects in the past 10 years. Parsons has provided advisory services, performed subway construction, and delivered major highway tunnel projects, ranging from the New York Gowanus Expressway to the English Channel Tunnel. We also participated in the Washington, D.C., Metro twin-tunnel program, cited by the American Underground Association as one of the most significant tunneling projects in the past 10 years.

We offer a host of cutting-edge tunneling techniques to minimize the risks associated with underground structures of all sizes and levels of complexity.

Parsons’ Bridge and Tunnel Division offers the preparation of environmental documents, such as environmental impact statements; studies; planning; inspection; structural and seismic analysis; new design; rehabilitation and reconstruction design; construction engineering; asset management; and construction management. Our projects range from traditional design-bid-build efforts to alternative project deliveries, including design-build and public-private partnership projects, illustrating that Parsons has the flexibility to work with a variety of project financing and delivery methods. Our commitment to quality is illustrated through our work on multiple award-winning projects and proves why Parsons is one of the most widely recognized names in bridge and tunnels in the industry.

On projects modest or massive, Parsons’ Bridge and Tunnel Division provides our customers with highly qualified personnel, price-competitive and innovative strategies, and the dedication that has made us the bridge and tunnel industry leaders we are today.
