Our team is also at the forefront of new technologies for repair and rehabilitation of roads and bridges. We are working with the rehabilitation of bridges and roads in the PR-22 for Metropistas. In all bridge design rehabilitation projects for Metropistas, our team has NDT tests and structural inspections. For PRTHA, we have also worked with bridge rehabilitation projects, as in the case of the Bridge over the Toita Creek in Cayey, which is an historic truss bridge which will be repaired to be used for pedestrian commuters.
