A Case Study:

A 10-year-old abandoned railroad line was purchased to start hauling wood avoiding a seasonal road closure and a 4-hour detour.
Deemed unrepairable by other consultants, Dr. Tingley’s non-destructive testing, and knowledge, proved the bridge could be restored for a fraction of the original replacement cost. His expertise allowed for the bridge to be repaired to a L-100 load rating.
Within two months, the time and fuel saved from using this bridge paid for the repair costs.
