This case study showcases a comprehensive assessment and structural rehabilitation of an aging transmission tower situated on the bank of a navigable waterway, where it had experienced significant degradation and severe washout. 

Collaborating closely with the structure owner, a comprehensive evaluation determined the financial feasibility of restoring the structure versus relocating it entirely. This presentation details each phase of the project, highlighting the strategic approach that ultimately enabled a cost-effective and time-efficient rehabilitation.
