Bates Engineering, Inc.

Bates Engineering provides structural design for transportation structures such as bridges, box culverts and walls.

Bridges

Region 4, Structure C-19-AK

Bates Engineering is prequalified with the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) to provide services such as bridge design, civil engineering and engineering management.

In 1999, Bates was selected by CDOT for the Staff Bridge Non-project specific Contract - Statewide, the firm's first prime contract with CDOT. On Project No. C 0342-024, the US Greeley Bypass, Bates Engineering was responsible for the design of two concrete box culverts, Structures C-17-FQ and C-17-FR. Current CDOT work includes the preliminary design of six bridge structures at the Belleview Avenue and I-225 Interchange for the high-profile I-25 SE Corridor project as a subconsultant to Carter-Burgess and for the design of Structure C-19-AK in Region 4, under the Staff Bridge Non-project Specific Contract - Statewide.

Bates Engineering's CDOT work only accounts for about one half of our recent roadway and bridge design experience. We also designed:

The $2 Million, City of Sheridan West Oxford Avenue Bridge over the South Platte River bridge replacement project.

The $1.2 Million, 300-foot long three-span bridge over Cherry Creek for the Pinery West Metropolitan District.

The City of Aurora Expo Park Pedestrian Bridge.

City of Sheridan, Colorado
West Oxford Avenue Bridge.

Box Culverts

The 1,500-foot-long Howes Street CBC Outfall for the City of Fort Collins, which included seven different single and double box sections designed for HS-25 loading and Cooper E80 railroad loading.

Concrete & MSE Walls

On August 31,2000, Colorado Governor, Bill Owens and other elected officials officially opened the C-470 Extension Project. This project completed the last major link in Denver's southwest "beltway".

Bates Engineering designed the largest retaining wall for the project, a 800-foot-long, 32-foot-high mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) wall. This attractive wall was tiered to permit construction in two phases.
