Over the past 30 years Hammontree & Associates has provided bridge inspection services to over a dozen counties and cities throughout the state. We currently provide county-wide programs to Coshocton, Guernsey, Noble, and Harrison Counties.
We inspect a wide range of structure types including timber covered bridges, stone arches, culverts, steel and concrete beams, slabs, and prestressed concrete bridges. With each inspection we provide a comprehensive report including photos of the bridge. Inspections and inventory updates are entered into the Ohio Department Of Transportation’s AssetWise site when requested. Communication is maintained during inspections to ensure that serious conditions are brought to the owner’s attention as quickly as possible. All of our inspections are performed in accordance with ODOT and FHWA standards. During regular reviews with the County Engineers’ Association and FHWA, we receive consistently high marks on compliance and quality.
In addition to, and as part of our inspection services, Hammontree performs bridge load ratings for all structure types. Load ratings are updated as needed during routine inspections and on as needed basis. Hammontree has rated hundreds of bridges for counties and includes a load rating as part of all structure designs. We have performed load ratings on steel through trusses, including gusset plates, steel and concrete beams, concrete slabs, and culverts. In addition to common structure types, we have experience rating covered bridges, timber beams, stone and concrete arches, and wrought iron trusses. We rate for all loads required by ODOT and FHWA using AASHTOWare BrR and other programs.
