Structure Rehabilitation

Bringing New Life to Infrastructure

Time takes its toll. Deterioration, damage, and outdated functionality are common effects of any built structure. In the transportation industry, structure rehabilitation is crucial for maintaining the safety, functionality, and longevity of infrastructure like bridges, tunnels, and overpasses. In western Pennsylvania and eastern Ohio, rehabilitation of the region’s hundreds of bridges is a priority for maintaining commuter safety.

As a trusted contractor with decades of experience, Gulisek provides clients with skilled teams who can repair, strengthen, and retrofit structures to their original or improved condition.
