Dennis Corporation provides professional engineering services for the design and rehabilitation of bridges across South Carolina.

Dennis Corporation specializes in comprehensive bridge design solutions, as well as bridge repair design services. We undertake extensive studies to determine the most cost effective solutions in terms of structural components, constructability and materials for all projects. Additionally, our firm recognizes the importance of coordination and permitting with governmental agencies and prides itself in its ability to meet short deadlines and strict quality control specifications.

Dennis Corporation’s bridge design expertise includes commercial, county and state bridge design and replacements. We specialize in flat slab, cored slab, AASHTO, steel and timber bridges for pedestrian, vehicular and rail traffic. Our competent staff of bridge engineers, designers and CAD technicians has extensive experience in modeling to produce an accurate rendering of the structure before plans are developed. This provides opportunities for the public to visualize the finished product long before construction. This concept also allows for the opportunity to incorporate certain architectural features that will make the bridge compatible with its surroundings. With our dedication, experience and creativity, we provide innovative bride design solutions incorporating ascetics, cost, schedule, constructability, durability and a commonsense approach.
