As one of the leading experts in the New York Metropolitan area on movable (bascule, swing and lift) bridges, KiSKA-USA has earned the praise of local authorities. Projects include the replacement of steel superstructures, pile jackets, pier caps and precast and pre-stressed construction. KiSKA-USA has reduced costs and shortened schedules with innovative engineering such as the use of special cofferdam and platforming systems for pier and foundation repair. It has effectively resolved complex logistical problems such as working over active train tracks with extremely tight headroom or over busy navigable channels while keeping vehicular traffic flowing.
