ABOUT.

​
Klophaus & Associates was founded in the Spring of 2011 with the goals of providing outstanding service to bridge projects.  From the start, we have treated each dollar spent as if it was our own, ensured plans are clear and constructible, and provided assistance throughout the construction process.  This approach has led to a history of successful projects and satisfied clients.  Our employees' past bridge experiences include:

 

• Ten Accelerated Bridge Construction (ABC) designs with SPMT’s and Sliding / Jacking mechanisms 

• 35 bridge designs in Utah

• Steel and prestressed girders

• Retaining wall, shoring, and formwork designs

• Sign structures and pedestrian structures

• Temporary bridges / structures / abutments to maintain traffic through phasing

• Precast abutment, deck, approach slab, and bent designs incorporating post-tensioning

• Seismic analysis of multispan structures with and without isolation bearings

• Design of Overpass and Underpass structures for Railroads with AREMA code

 

Many of these projects were Design-Build (DB) low-bid awards, where the design also required focus on economical approaches, extensive coordination with contractors, and shared the primary goals outlined in UDOT’s Practical Design Guidelines.  

 

We have the resources to deliver a complete  advertisement package following UDOT standards and are qualified on the UDOT pool for Structures Design (teaming with Perkins Engineering, capable of delivering complete roadway advertising packages).  We can also contribute our knowledge working as part of a team during design and through construction support.  Please contact us at to see how we can benefit your project.
