Pipeline Crossing Design & Loading Assessments

Pipeline Crossing Design & Loading Assessments

PCI Engineering provides engineering design and assessment services for pipeline, utility, and equipment crossings to ensure safety, compliance, and long-term performance under all operating and environmental conditions.

Our team evaluates crossings for highways, railways, watercourses, and other critical infrastructure in accordance with applicable codes, including CSA Z662, and local regulatory requirements.

We assess loading conditions from both static and dynamic surface loads to ensure each crossing design meets structural and operational demands.

PCI develops detailed crossing designs, load calculations, and supporting documentation for regulatory approval and construction. We also perform assessments of existing crossings to verify integrity, confirm load capacity, and recommend reinforcement or remediation measures when required.

By combining practical field experience with sound engineering analysis, PCI delivers safe, efficient, and compliant crossing solutions for a variety of applications.
