Pedestrian Bridges

Miller Pacific Engineering Group provides a range of services in the design and construction of pedestrian bridges.  View project highlights below.

Homepage

Inkwells Bridge
San Geronimo, CA

Picture
Client: Marin Municipal Water District

Miller Pacific provided the geologic and geotechnical investigation for the Inkwells Bridge.  The environmentally sensitive location required small footprint foundations to avoid environmentally sensitive areas and “holes” in the creek bed. 

Geotechnical recommendation and criteria were provided for shallow foundations that bear on hard bedrock areas with rock anchors to provide supplemental uplift resistances against over-turning moments. The foundations provided both vertical and lateral support for twin 36-inch water transmission lines as well as a 170 foot long pedestrian/equestrian bridge.  

Geotechnical observation and testing services were provided during construction.

Fitzgerald Marine Reserve
Half Moon Bay, CA

Picture
Client:  County of San Mateo

Miller Pacific conducted a geotechnical investigation and prepared plans, details and technical specifications for a 10 ft. wide by 60 ft. long pedestrian/equestrian bridge that spans Vicente Creek.  

The firm designed the reinforced concrete abutments for the bridge. Due to soft and potentially liquefiable soils, small diameter pipe piles were utilized to provide support from the underlying bedrock.  Considering the marine environment and span distance, a prefabricated fiberglass bridge was selected.  

Miller Pacific reviewed submittals and supervised the field and laboratory QA/QC soil and concrete testing for the piles, abutments, subsurface drainage, and compacted structural fills. 


Marin Country Club
Novato, CA

Client:  Marin Country Club

Miller Pacific conducted a geotechnical investigation and prepared plans, details and technical specifications for two 6 ft. wide by 90 ft. long pedestrian and golf cart bridges that span Arroyo San Jose Creek and golf course ponds.  

The firm designed the reinforced concrete abutments for the bridge. Due to soft and potentially liquefiable soils, small diameter pipe piles were utilized to provide support from the underlying bedrock.  Considering the alluvial environment and span distance, a prefabricated steel/concrete bridge was selected.  

Miller Pacific reviewed submittals and supervised the field and laboratory QA/QC soil and concrete testing for the piles, abutments, and compacted structural fills.
