Delaware Memorial Bridge: Instrumentation for Safer Infrastructure
We are proud to support the Delaware River & Bay Authority in enhancing safety at the Delaware Memorial Bridge through the design & installation of a comprehensive geotechnical instrumentation & monitoring program
The data collected helps engineers evaluate stress distribution and verify system stability—an essential step in protecting one of the region’s most vital transportation corridors.
Project Duration: Fall 2023 – Fall 2025
🔎 Geotechnical Instrumentation Mythbusters
🚫 Myth: Instrumentation is only for big projects.
✅ Truth: Even the smallest sites can reveal big insights! Tools like settlement plates, piezometers, and vibration monitors provide valuable data.
