Bridge & Transportation
Bridge and transportation infrastructure is quickly maturing all across America, and many structures are past their useful life. The demolition industry is an important support to the transportation, rail, and bridge industries. In addition, many highways and bridges are past capacities due to population growth. This makes it necessary for the partial or total removal of bridges, widening highways, and widening existing bridges to increase capacity.
SV Group Transportation, Rail, and Bridge Demolition
SV Group precision-engineers solutions to challenging highway and railroad bridges, and other bridge demolition, modification, retrofitting, maintenance, and decommissioning projects.
Using highly sophisticated equipment for each railroad and highway bridge job, we consistently and successfully cut concrete and metal structures such as piers, caps, and columns both above and below water. We cut deteriorated railroad bridge piers for maintenance and upgrades.

SV Group Methods of Bridge, Rail, and Bridge Demolition Projects
Bridge demolition projects are highly technical and require precise execution and an over-abundance of caution. The safety of people is our top concern. Then SV Group ensures the protection of adjacent roads and waterways when we demolish a bridge. Methods of transportation and bridge demolition include:
- Dismantling – This method cuts a bridge into sections and removes them with a crane. The bridge is cut into pieces using sawing, water-jetting, or thermic lances. This minimizes dust and noise.
- Wrecking – Excavator-mounted breakers and pulverizers break apart bridge materials. This method may be adapted to underwater demolition of abutments and supports.
- Explosives – Explosives take down large amounts of concrete. Using this method is flexible and adaptive, meaning it is effective for numerous circumstances and projects. It requires strict safety precautions to minimize noise and debris.
Bridge and transportation demolition requires precise structural analysis to determine the best removal sequence. The structures must be examined for stability and strength throughout each phase of removal because the loads, load path, and structural system change at each phase. SV Group has the expertise, experience, and equipment necessary for an efficient, safe bridge or transportation demolition.
