CONSTRUCTION SUPPORT

When not involved in the day to day construction observation, Ciorba Group can still provide our clients with other construction assistance services. We provide our clients with review of shop drawings and catalog cuts, constructability reviews or reviews of alternative designs presented by the contractor. Our services often include assistance as an owner’s representative and participation on their behalf at pre-bid or pre-construction meetings, responding to the contractor’s technical questions, or preparing contract documentation. Our staff’s extensive experience with complex steel, Precast Prestressed Concrete, and post-tensioned and reinforced concrete bridges is very valuable to owners on large and midsize projects.

Our structural staff provides support services to our construction observation teams or directly to the client or owner on more complex bridge and structural projects that demand review of proposed construction sequences, or complex demolition or erection plans. We commonly support our resident engineers in solving issues that may arise in the field on construction project designed by others. Our structural staff is also trained and experienced to provide field services for pile driving operations, drilled shafts or cofferdam installation or review of post-tensioning installation and stressing sequence. We review steel or concrete beam demolition and erection procedures or bridge deck pour sequences to ensure that they meet design and safety standards and specifications.
