5 Reasons For Engaging Civil And Structural Consulting Engineers

Client engages consulting engineers for three reasons.

1. Client does not have engineering capability.

Builders, developer, manufacturing organizations or government do not have engineering capability of their own and need to utilize consulting engineers for their engineering work. Client may rarely use bridge engineering, and keeping engineers on staff may become an overhead for client. Therefore, it is good to engage engineers by project basis. As for example, an investor needs to build one factory. The best way is to engage a consulting engineer to look into his requirement. The consulting engineer has to demonstrate his expertise and experience on field of bridge engineering engineering. Upon completion of work, the investor is not further obligated to the consulting engineer and has not incurred continuing overhead expense.

2. Client's engineering staff does not qualify in work area.

Now days, a client especially property developer will have an in house engineering department. In certain case, the staff is not skilled in the discipline required for a particular assignment. A housing development company may competent to design housing project. However, company needs bridge engineering to hire a consulting engineer to design a bridge in the housing development project where only sporadic needs for the project. It will not economical to retain such skill in house. As a result, the company obtains it from outside professional, the consulting engineer.

3. Client's in-house engineering staff sized for normal workload.

Certain clients may have a fully qualified in-house engineering staff that has the capability of undertaking special assignment. Unfortunately, the staff cannot be free from daily regular workload. It is not economical or efficient that to engage more staff to handle only for case of peak workload.

4. Client needs outside expert knowledge

Normally a client hires a consulting engineer in order to obtain opinion of an acknowledged expert of a project. As for example, in-house engineering team is doing bridge with normal reinforced concrete beam design. When there is a need of design prestress reinforced concrete beam for a particular bridge and the team do not has the expertise knowledge, As a result, client can engage prestress bridge engineer to design and gain the knowledge of prestress reinforced concrete beam design.

5. Economy

It is the most common way for client engaging the services of consulting engineers is the acknowledgement of least expensive way to accomplish an engineering task. A consulting engineering firm can able to setup a team with experience and knowledgeable staff. The team can more efficient in undertake and complete the assigned project. The consulting engineer has regularly in handling similar task, therefore he can productively start on the project immediately.

The Delaware Water Gap Toll Bridge is named that for the obvious reason that it bridges the gap between Hardwick Township, Jersey and Delaware Water Gap, Pennsylvania. Built by the Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission in 1952, it measures over 2,600 feet (751 m) in length. Officially opened for use on December 16th, 1953, the bridge has become a main through-way for commuters who are already on the I-80 expressway, or need a fast way to cross the river and continue on their journey.

Interstate 80 is the main road which connects the east coast to the west coast. Running from San Francisco and ending in Teaneck, New Jersey; the Delaware Water Gap Toll Bridge is also known as the Interstate 80 Toll Bridge, and is located approximately 70 miles before the end of I-80.

A dual carriageway; each lane on the bridge is separated with a concrete barrier, and measures 28 feet across. The bridge itself is a steel plated, cable beam bridge. The Delaware Water Gap Toll Bridge also has a pedestrian sidewalk for people to use, separated from the motorists with a concrete divider, on the south side of the New Jersey-bound section of the bridge. This public sidewalk; connects the Pennsylvania's northern terminus of the Appalachia, with the New Jersey' southern end.

The 6,421 acre Worthington State Forest borders the New Jersey side of the bridge; many who are visiting the forest exit from the bridge and make there way down to one of the many picturesque campsites. The park also offers hiking, camping (including a special organised hike-in across a more primitive area), canoing, and kayaking on the Delaware River itself. The Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area is located on both sides of the river, and the bridge.

On the Pennsylvania side of the bridge, there is a six lane toll plaza collecting the £1 toll fee from all westbound traffic vehicles. Regular commuters can receive a 40% discount if they make 20 or more trips within 35 days. As with some other states, the use of an automatic pass which is fixed to the windscreen, allows the traffic to keep flowing be eliminating the need to stop at the booth.

Maintenance of the bridge will be undertaken by local bridge engineer companies, such as 3S Bridges. Founded by Jonathan Danos, the British MBE with experience in the industry spanning two decades.
