Zia Pueblo BR M133

When we first arrived at the site, we encountered a complex set of challenges that would test our expertise.

The Zia Pueblo BR M133 bridge replacement project required careful coordination between engineering design, environmental considerations, and tribal community engagement. Our team conducted comprehensive design studies, evaluated both roadway and geotechnical conditions, and performed thorough environmental assessments. The project emphasized meaningful tribal community involvement throughout the design and planning phases, ensuring the final solution met both technical requirements and community needs.

Our approach began with detailed design study evaluated multiple bridge replacement options, analyzing structural requirements, environmental impacts, and community preferences to develop the optimal solution for zia pueblo. As we delved deeper into the project, thorough evaluation of roadway and geotechnical conditions informed bridge design decisions, ensuring structural integrity while addressing site-specific challenges and environmental considerations. Building on this foundation, active tribal community involvement throughout design and planning phases ensured the bridge solution respected cultural values while meeting long-term transportation needs of the zia pueblo community.

The innovations that set this project apart included design process balanced structural requirements, environmental protection, and community preferences, creating a bridge solution that excelled across all critical dimensions. Additionally, tribal community engagement was integrated into every design decision, ensuring the bridge replacement respected cultural values while delivering modern transportation infrastructure. Finally, thorough environmental assessment addressed impacts on ecosystems, water resources, and cultural resources, ensuring full compliance with environmental regulations while protecting tribal lands.
