Büro Ehring
Offering Comprehensive Engineering Designs

There is no denying of the fact that bridges are the lifeblood for modern human life and the economy. Subsequently, several efforts are being made to ensure the longevity and safety of these engineering marvels. While the strength of the structure is the primary consideration, the cost is also an important factor for today’s bridge construction projects—given the rapid pace of development and the growing need to connect remote areas with cities. To this end, it becomes essential to ensure that the engineering design of these infrastructures is of the highest quality.

This is where Büro Ehring steps in, with their steadfast commitment to quality and innovative solutions that fuse complexity and efficiency by catering to their project’s unique engineering requirements.

As a collaborative engineering design firm, Büro Ehring unites experience and proficiency in the design of structures and specialty projects to deliver advanced engineering solutions that are responsive to the client’s budget and schedule. The company’s bridge and infrastructure engineering services are enabled by the unique pool of Büro Ehring leaderships’ extensive past and current experience and expertise resulting inefficient state-of-the-art structural designs utilizing a wide range of structural materials. This broad set of capabilities and services includes bridge engineering design, bridge contractor support services, structural bridge investigation, bridge repair and rehabilitation, construction methods and sequencing, and peer review services. “Our services are not limited to bridges and infrastructures.

We are a boutique engineering firm with a broad spectrum of services, including structural engineering of buildings, building envelopes, specialty structures, and bridge infrastructures,” says Holger S. Schulze Ehring, Principal, Büro Ehring.

What enables Büro Ehring to offer such a comprehensive array of services is its cross-disciplinary staff that includes structural engineers, architects, and construction experts. They work in liaison and interchange knowledge to help clients throughout their entire journey—from the initial design to the completion of a structure. “Every client deserves exceptional designs at an affordable price, and that’s what we deliver through both traditionally engineered and constructed projects and partially pre-fabricated projects,” says Schulze Ehring. Büro Ehring strives to bring early-stage advanced structural analysis and optimization, constructability considerations, and schedule advantages to its structural designs, which allows clients to review estimated construction costs earlier and more precise.

With such expertise, Büro Ehring has successfully helped a large variety of clients ranging from owners to architects and developers to fabricators with the structural design, fabrication, and installation of bridges, long-span, and specialty structures. Such examples of their success are collaborative contributions to projects of a vast range of scale and intricacy, from overpasses and footbridges to elevated bicycle runways and road and railway bridge designs. For the Ballston Quarter Pedestrian Bridge the client and their designers approached a specialty fabricator together with Büro Ehring to help them with the structural design, fabrication engineering, and construction sequencing of a partially prefabricated bridge over a busy roadway avoiding any prolonged road closures. Within a fabrication and engineering focused Design Assist process Büro Ehring supported the design team and fabricator with the superstructure design of the bridge as well as the engineering design of the signature glass and metal roof enclosure. This Design Assist approach enabled the client to make informed early-stage decisions about cost, schedule, and construction implications.

Driven by such successful and innovative project designs and implementations across the U.S. East and West coasts, Büro Ehring now plans to spread wings across the entire U.S. and the European market. In fact, the company opened its California presence in early 2021 and prepares for projects in Central Europe. They are focusing on further strengthening their national and international bridge portfolio and enhancing their offerings by adding more retrofitting repairs and taking on public work.“We are committed to produce visionary bridge and infrastructure designs by coupling a spirit of award-winning excellence, cutting-edge engineering, and extensive experience,” concludes Schulze Ehring.
