Since April 2010 we have been working with Kokosing Construction, Inc., of Columbus, OH on form travelers for cast-in-place segmental cantilever construction of the Jeremiah Morrow Bridge over the Little Miami River in Ohio.  The form travelers were last used on the Galveston Bridge and needed specific modifications for the new bridge cross-section.  Four segments have been cast each way on the first pier, and the project has been temporarily put on hold until regional weather conditions improve.

The Robinson 2 commercial building project, started in March 2008, continues in Tualatin. The envelope is nearing completion with the installation of the storefront glazing.

We have completed the design of a 7000 sq. ft. custom home in Tualatin begun in March 2011 which is now under construction; we have been working on the design since November 2011 of a 5000 sq. ft. custom home in Wilsonville.

Since November 2011, for the joint venture Kiewit/General/Manson we are working on the form traveler for the new SR520 approach spans in Seattle.  The form traveler will be used to construct balanced cantilevered sections of the project.  Work will begin in early February.

Since October 2010, for Kiewit Infrastructure West we have completed documentation for the Farrington Guideway form traveler in Hawaii.  This form traveler will be used to construct balanced cantilevered bridge sections on multiple piers to carry a new light rail transit system.

Since July 2010, Parkin Engineering has signed a contract with Kiewit Infrastructure West to modify the form traveler last used on the Folsom Bridge, CA, for the new Light Rail Suspension Bridge over the Willamette River.

As well as the larger projects listed above, we continue to work on engineering for an array of smaller projects such as buildings, houses, garages, canopies, and decks.
