Scour Repair
The erosion of soil around bridge foundations caused by water flow, known as scour, is a leading threat to bridge stability across the country. When a scour event compromised an off-ramp bridge on I-440 over Fourche Creek in Little Rock, ARDOT and Garver acted swiftly. Their collaborative effort included inspection, hydraulic analysis, structural design, and construction—all completed in under five months.
