Roscoe steel- bridge division

Client: Roscoe Bridge
Location: Missoula, MT

BCE provides the structural design and detailing for modular structural steel bridges. These bridges are delivered both regionally and nationally. BCE works closely with Roscoe Bridge to not only provide engineering analysis and detailing, but streamlined standards for greater throughput and ease of construction. These bridges are designed for HS-20, HS-25, U-80 and HL-93 loads typically with overload conditions on occasional projects. The bridges are delivered to the customer’s requirements with ether ballast, timber running plank or concrete (cast in place or precast) deck options. Spans up to 120 feet are considered for this type of bridge. These bridges are comprised primarily of steel which is typically 80% or greater in recycled content, making them the most eco-friendly solution available on the market.

fitness for service- Pressure vessel evaluations

Client: Wyoming Refinery Co.
Location: Newcastle, WY

BCE is in the process of evaluating the pressure vessels for structural integrity and expected life of the in-service equipment and components of the Wyoming Refinery Company. FFS evaluations determine if the equipment is suitable for current operating conditions, or to determine its maximum usage parameters.

Fitness-For-Service evaluations demonstrate the structural integrity of in-service equipment and components. BCE Engineers can help avoid costly down time and allow more accurate planning for future capacity and needs. These evaluations allow equipment to remain in service for an extended period of time and prevent any unforeseen incidents from components susceptible to flaw or damage. BCE can determine if equipment is suitable for current operating conditions, or to find its maximum usage parameters.

BCE’s analysis of infrastructure can save time, money, and a facility’s reliability by:

• Extending equipment life
• Enhancing equipment performance
• Reducing down time
• Designing and planning for cost-effective repairs

Professional evaluations are available for pressure vessels, storage tanks, boilers, heat exchangers, and piping to insure the integrity of your equipment for its intended use.

Madison Street Pedestrian bridge

Client: Missoula Redevelopment Agency
Location: Missoula, MT
Team Consultants: WGM Group, OZ Architects, Maxim Technologies

BCE served as prime consultant on the project. The unique nature of the project required BCE to perform evaluation of the structural capacities of the existing bridge piers in addition to the unique layout of the new multi-span suspended bridge. BCE was in charge of producing and coordinating the design documents for approval of both City and State agencies.

WGM Group, Inc. (WGM Group) teamed with Beaudette Consulting Engineers, Inc. (BCE), Maxim Technologies and OZ Architects on the design and construction of a new bicycle-pedestrian bridge over the Clark Fork River in Missoula. This unique bicycle-pedestrian bridge passes through the abutments of the existing Madison Street Bridge. The new bridge allows pedestrians and bicyclists to safely and conveniently cross the river at trail level below the Madison Street Bridge. This innovative extension of Missoula’s Riverfront Trail system provides uninterrupted access from Orange Street to Madison Street on both sides of the river.

BCE provided structural design and served as the lead engineering firm on this $1.25 million Missoula Redevelopment Agency project. WGM Group provided project management, survey, NEPA documentation, hydraulic analysis, environmental permitting, and construction administration services. The bridge was completed in February 2006.
