Structrual
Whether it’s a complex design for a separated highway or a simple pedestrian bridge abutment, CFS will determine and execute the most suitable construction approach catered to your priorities. Our versatile structural engineering design experience in bridges, box culverts, walls, piers, and foundations means our solutions match the goals of the project. We take great strides in bridging gaps in community mobility, solving stormwater infrastructure problems, and supporting building design teams. The CFS Geotechnical Engineers supplement our structural designs by analyzing slope stability, evaluating soil compaction, and recommending foundations for any subsurface condition.
Services
Bridge Design and Inspections
Since 1961, we have expanded from designing bridges in Topeka, Kansas, to providing inspection, design, and construction phase services for thousands of bridges across the Midwest. CFS identifies and implements the most effective design and construction solutions, whether for complex highway separations or simple pedestrian crossings. We use advanced structural analysis and design tools to ensure safe and efficient bridge designs. Additionally, CFS delivers load rating and biennial inspection services for thousands of existing bridges and conducts structural inspections on more than 800 bridges annually.
Box Culverts
CFS selects and implements the most effective design and construction method, whether a standard cast-in-place box or a proprietary precast system. With rising labor costs, precast box culverts offer cost savings and faster delivery, minimizing traffic delays and rerouting. We use advanced structural analysis tools to efficiently assess various geometries, loading conditions, river elevations, and utility requirements, ensuring the most practical design for each project.
Walls and Foundations
CFS’s structural team deliver comprehensive services for projects such as retaining walls, bridge abutments, site amenity footings, slabs, and foundations. We have expertise in new construction, additions, and structural rehabilitation. Since 1961, CFS has built a reputation for dependable, high-quality structural design. Our experience enables us to develop thoughtful solutions that address structural needs, comply with local building codes, and align with your budget.
Buildings
CFS welcomes the opportunity to collaborate with development teams to address structural challenges. Our structural engineering expertise centers on site design, and our experience enables us to support the design of buildings, structures, and infrastructure. We deliver cost-effective solutions, from reinforcing existing buildings and tunnels to designing foundations for sanitary sewer facilities. Whether your project involves retrofits, new construction, demolition, expansion, failure analysis, damage repair, or change of occupancy, we provide concrete, structural steel, and building system engineering services.
