Modjeski and Masters Selected for Fourth Consecutive Open-End Contract from Illinois Department of Transportation

Under the contract, Modjeski and Masters will provide National Bridge Inspection Standards (NBIS), Fracture Critical Member (FCM), and Element Level inspections of numerous major river bridges throughout the state, as well as, load capacity ratings.  Modjeski and Masters has provided these same services for over two dozen major river bridges, accommodating peak hours and lane restrictions and often utilizing technical access climbing techniques.  The firm’s projects have also included detailed gusset plate inspections, ultrasonic testing of truss pins, emergency damage inspections, emergency trunnion shaft repair, and underwater inspections consisting of depth recordings of the channel surrounding the river piers.

“With our longstanding history of work with IDOT, we’ve had the opportunity to lead multiple major inspection projects throughout Illinois, and we’re honored to be selected for the fourth time for this contract,” said David Petermeier, Senior Vice President and MidAmerica Regional Manager of Modjeski and Masters. “Having the opportunity to continue working with IDOT really speaks to our dedication to client service, and we look forward to providing our experience and expertise to ensure the highest quality inspections across the state.”
