Detailed engineering design of Option 2 will be required, before commencing
construction. An RPEQ Engineer experienced in bridge design can design the columns.
The impressed-current cathodic-protection system will need to be designed by a
specialist engineer: it is common for these to be designed and constructed by specialist
contractors with their own engineers.

Construction work should be carried out by a specialist contractor, or by an experienced
bridge contractor with a specialist subcontractor. Conventional building or civil
contractors are not suitable for this type of work.
