Bridge abutment design can vary greatly depending on the bridge superstructure and foundation. We’ll accommodate bridge abutments on piles, on spread footings, and even box beams supported directly on the fill behind the retaining wall. We’ll work with the bridge engineer to ensure all considera...
An initial design suggested by the ministry of transportation (MOT, Saudi Arabia) included a sheet pile system and retaining wall abutments. The geotechnical investigation conducted for the site revealed that layers of sandy soils will require the use of sheet piles to prevent loss of lateral ...

When abutments are flanked by retaining walls, match the bottom of the bridge barrier rails with the coping of the retaining wall barrier. This detail is often left to non-bridge engineers and can be very noticeable. The incongruity at this location can be a distraction from the smooth horizo...
