EMERGENCY INSPECTION & PIER REHABILITATION OF I-579

In the Spring and Summer of 2025, did you wonder why there were lane closures on I-579? It was because on February 28, 2025, PennDOT District 11 officials discovered significant substructure deterioration at a pier on the north approach of the Veterans Bridge in Pittsburgh, PA prompting an emergency response. District officials reached out to HDR Engineering, Inc. to assemble a team to inspect, analyze and provide repair details on an accelerated schedule for this pier and to evaluate the condition of 34 additional piers on the north shore approaches. This presentation will go over the inspection of the piers, the findings and the emergency repairs and how all of these worked in concert at an accelerated pace to minimize bridge and lane closure times for this primary artery in Pittsburgh.

SEI Pittsburgh Chapter Committee meeting to follow at 1:00 PM – All are welcome to attend

SEI Call for Presentations (16 Oct 2026)

Fri, 16 Oct 2026 04:00:00 GMT

SEI Pittsburgh Members,

We are putting out a call for speakers for our 2026-2027 quarterly lunch meetings. These meetings will provide opportunities to our members to learn and network with each other, more details on the meetings themselves will be coming out in the future. We are looking for half hour presentations. Topics can range from published research to interesting projects to other topics that would be good to share with the local structural engineering community. This could also be a great opportunity for younger professionals to gain presentation experience & feedback in a low key, safe environment.

If you are interested, please register your presentation idea here, using the registration form.

To be considered for the inaugural meeting, the deadline for presentation ideas is Friday 8/21/26! But we will be accepting topics to be considered for the remainder of the 2026/2027 meetings through Friday 10/16/26.

Presenters would need to be available to present their topic in person around lunchtime at the locations selected in the Pittsburgh metro area & on the dates selected (around 1st Wednesday of the selected months).
