StoneCroft provides conceptual and detailed structural design services for road bridges, pedestrian bridges, recreational structures, industrial structures, marine structures, foundations and bespoke buildings. Designing bridges is how we started over 30 years ago and remains a key part of our business.
We have expertise designing in all the main construction materials, including steel, reinforced and prestressed concrete, aluminum, and timber. We also have experience providing construction engineering services for structural projects, including erection planning and falsework design. We are known for providing practical, innovative and cost effective designs.
Our past projects include:
StoneCroft has provided engineering services to the forestry industry in British Columbia since 1989, giving us a strong understanding of industry-specific design and regulatory requirements. A core component of our business involves designing and maintaining the extensive network of resource roads, bridges, and culverts, that our forestry sector clients own and operate.
We are recognized experts in designing, constructing, and assessing the log stringer bridges widely utilized in the industry. We also provide resource road and bridge deactivation and reactivation plans, appraisals and valuations of resource infrastructure, and specialist audits for compliance with legal and professional standards.
StoneCroft has designed and constructed over 100 innovative, environmentally sustainable and cost-effective marine and dryland log transfer facilities across coastal BC. These facilities provide economic access to timber volume in remote, challenging, environmentally sensitive and high public visibility areas.
These facilities have included:
StoneCroft has been successfully delivering designs for heavy civil projects for over thirty years and can draw on this experience to determine the best and most cost-effective construction method for any project.
Our experience covers steep and technical resource roads, retaining walls, engineered rock cuts, constructed fills, major earthworks, bridge abutments, major culverts, marine facilities, log handling facilities, and other industrial works. Our services cover all project phases, including preliminary planning, cost estimating, conceptual and detailed design, and construction supervision.
We have experience with a wide variety of project and construction types, including:
StoneCroft has extensive experience in topographic surveying, bathymetric surveying, and survey layout and control during construction. We utilize Nikon and Leica total stations (reflectorless and robotic), Real Time Kinematic (RTK) equipment and UAV’s with photogrammetry software.
We utilize our survey data to develop deliverables for our clients including:
We provide construction management and supervision of major construction projects. We can provide detailed construction cost estimation and evaluation of multiple design options, to assist our clients with decision making. Upon project completion we prepare all required professional assurance statements and record drawings, serving as the Professional Engineer of Record (POR) where required.
In addition to construction management and supervision, StoneCroft also provides hands-on construction services for technical log bridges and log cribbing, along with maintenance and structural repairs for temporary and permanent steel and concrete bridges on resource roads.
StoneCroft has provided inspection and evaluation services to our clients on thousands of structures to ensure ongoing structural, environmental, maintenance and safety requirements are met and risk is minimized. Our inspection services range from routine inspections of culverts to detailed close-proximity structural inspections of major road bridges.
We work with our clients to develop efficient programs for managing their infrastructure assets and prioritizing inspection, maintenance, and repair works. We also regularly directly update our clients’ asset management information technology systems, improving the overall efficiency of the inspection and maintenance process.
Maintenance works that we have designed and supervised the construction of include concrete and steel structural repairs, major scour and foundation rehabilitation, bridge deck replacements, and much more.
