Project overview
Structural steel repairs for a pedestrian bridge over TH 52.
The project involved emergency repairs to MnDOT Pedestrian Bridge No. 62023 over Trunk Highway 52 in Saint Paul, Minnesota.
The scope included the replacement and repair of critical structural steel components.
Working for Zimmerman Metals, our team modeled and detailed approximately 6.2 tons of repair steel using Tekla Structures.
Key components included cambered girders, diaphragms, bracing, field splices, sole plates and shear studs.

Technical detailing
Connecting new repair steel to existing bridge geometry.
New components had to align with established bridge elevations and girder camber rather than an entirely new structural layout.
Anatomic developed a coordinated Tekla model to define replacement components, develop connection details and produce fabrication drawings. The detailing accounted for field splice connections, diaphragm and bracing locations, sole plates and welded shear studs, with information prepared to support fabrication and erection.
