South Satsuma Bridge Replacement

Forte and Tablada provided engineering design services to replace a 100ft wooden span bridge with 140 foot concrete bridge that is capable of passing the 100-yr design storm without causing negative upstream or downstream impacts under the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program with Livingston Parish. The bridge was causing upstream flooding during low frequency rain events and needed to be replaced. Detailed hydraulic analysis were conducted for the project to understand flow characteristics. Forte and Tablada also assisted Livingston Parish in navigating HMGP grant requirements through out the project. Forte and Tablada provided topographic surveying, engineering, and hydraulic analysis services for the HMGP bridge replacement as well as construction management services. Forte and Tablada provided management for the project throughout the FEMA process and provided the Benefit Cost Analysis (BCA) and hydraulic and hydrologic study to get the project all the way through to implementation.
