How can respec help you?
What we offer:
Taking projects from scour analysis and countermeasure design through constructure, we’re your go-to resource for bridge design- and repair-related needs. We have delivered large-scale scour countermeasure implementation projects by quick scour repair designs to address flood damage by using different delivery processes.
We have developed over 200 Plans of Action (POAs) for
scour critical bridges in accordance with Federal Highway Administration requirements, including HEC-18 and HEC-
23 guidance. Our team implements US Geological Survey (USGS) protocols to rapidly estimate scour at highway
bridges based on limited site data. We can provide you with the following services:
// Hydraulic Surveys // Hydrologic Analysis
We currently provide support for multiple state Departments of Transportation (DOTS), including Colorado, New Mexico, and South Dakota.
// HEC-RAS and SRH-2D Hydraulic Modeling // Rapid Scour Analysis
// Detailed Scour Analysis Using HEC-18 // Scour Countermeasure Designs and Cost Estimates // Scour Monitoring Recommendations.
Our scour analysis expertise has led to DOT requests for RESPEC to develop scour procedure documents; scour
countermeasure construction plans, including emergency repairs; and post-flood scour inspections. RESPEC has
designed and provided construction observation services for a wide variety of scour countermeasures, including
grade-control structures, guide banks, bendway weirs, riprap armoring, and slope stabilization.
“RESPEC has provided engineering services for the State’s Scour Critical Bridge program since 2010. In the past 4.5 years have been at CDOT Staff Hydraulics, they have delivered scour analysis and designs for well over 100 bridges located across all five regions of the state. I would highly recommend RESPEC to any agency looking for a dedicated, repsonsive team who delivers consistent, high-quality products with exceptional customer service. —Alfred Gross, PE, Staff Hydraulic Engineer Project Support, Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT)
