City of Raleigh Deck Replacements
Bridge and Erosion Control Design
Alpha & Omega Group provided design and construction administration for the conversion several existing structures from timber to fiber reinforced polymers (FRP) as part of an existing on-call agreement with the City of Raleigh.
Due to the age of the structures and the weather, the timber decks had deteriorated. They also became slippery when wet, which posed a danger to pedestrians and cyclists. Replacements were deemed necessary to prevent both the growing safety concerns and the difficulty of maintaining timber decks. Structures 202, 237,238, and 239’s decking was replaced with FRP grating and a skid resistant surface. Structure 300 was originally planned to feature concrete but eventually changed to FRP as well.
Alpha & Omega Group provided a structural analysis and review of all pertinent data. They have also completed structural design and erosion control design, as well as construction details, documents, and plans. When the design phase had ended, the team offered an engineer’s opinion of probable cost and provided construction administration and observation services as well as all final submittals. Ω
