Qualifications of the Company's Partners and Employees Our Company is made up of four founding members, who are experts in civil/structural engineering, along with employees and consultants who are specialists in the various engineering disciplines, and including a former DoD Civil Engineer Project Manager trained in US project management, site supervision and EM 385-1-1 standards. The Company also has a large network of professional subject matter experts including specialized consultants, University Professors and a large U.S. design firm, Merrick & Company, which is readily available in the case of specific project needs. In-House Instrumentation Our Company has a variety of state of the art in-house instrumentation and methods of analysis/software available for diagnostic surveys and testing, both destructive and non-destructive, modeling and calculation. Most smaller items can be transported on-site wherever necessary, whereas larger pieces of equipment are normally rented on site (for example, by bridge inspection platforms). Project Experience Since the 1980s, our Company has performed investigations, site surveys, urban development projects, project planning, diagnostic surveys, inspections, testing, load capacity analysis and load rating calculations and fem modeling, seismic vulnerability assessments (which are extremely important in Italy), design of bridge rehabilitation/upgrades, drawing preparation using CADD format, preparation of technical specifications (also including the use of Specs Intact), design analysis and report preparation, cost estimates, final testing and certification, etc.. We also have a long history of design and on-site supervision of US Government projects in Europe with the US Army, Air Force and Navy.
