SK&A Structural Engineers Repair & Restoration Divsion was out early this morning to evaluate a pedestrian bridge with corrosion-related deterioration and soffit cladding which fell into swale area below. When compared to the cost for obtaining a specialty lift and contractor fees, our Rope Access Team was able to quickly respond and conduct the evaluation for a fraction of that cost!

SK&A road trip! 🚗🎢 This past Saturday, members of our #StructuralDesign and #Repair + #Restoration teams hit the road for an exciting afternoon at King’s Dominion, just outside Richmond. It was a night filled with rides, laughter, and great memories! Moments like these show just how strong our workplace culture really is – where spending time together outside the office comes naturally. At SK&A, we're not just colleagues; we’re friends, and that connection strengthens the work we do every day. #WorkplaceCulture #TeamBonding #SKARoadTrip #StructuralEngineering #OfficeFriendships #BeyondThe9to5 #BuildingTogether #SKAengineers
