Florida Coverage
Since 2014, FIT Engineering has concentrated work efforts on Florida's transportation infrastructure. We focus on the state's unique inspection needs, environmental challenges, and FDOT specifications. This dedication helps us build strong local partnerships and ensures quick response times across Florida.
Local Infrastructure Expertise
Florida's infrastructure faces unique challenges, including saltwater exposure, high humidity, sandy soils, and hurricanes. Our team knows the specific inspection needs for structures in Florida's varied environments, from coastal bridges to inland overpasses and overhead signs. We're well-versed in FDOT structural inspection requirements and reporting procedures.
Proven Hurricane Response
When hurricanes threaten Florida, experience is crucial. Our emergency response team has been deployed for every major storm since Matthew in 2016, delivering essential post-storm assessments to restore transportation networks swiftly. We prioritize hurricane response and keep the necessary equipment, certifications, and partnerships ready for immediate action.
766 bridges inspected
What we inspect
Bridges
Bridge support structures are essential components that span over waterways, roads, and railroad tracks, providing safe passage for vehicles and pedestrians. Regular inspections are crucial for public safety, as these structures must withstand environmental stresses like wind and rain while supporting heavy loads. FIT Engineering offers specialized inspection services in accordance with FDOT regulations and the Federal Highway Administration's National Bridge Inspection Standards to maintain safety and ensure the integrity of our vital infrastructure.
3,263signs inspected
What we inspect
Overhead Signs
Overhead signs play a vital role in guiding and alerting drivers to ensure safe navigation of the state's highways. Regular inspections of these signs are essential to ensure they are intact and functional, and to identify any damage and deterioration. At FIT Engineering, we provide expert inspection services that entail hands-on inspection, utilizing fall protection and rope access techniques that permit full structural access with no disruption to or maintenance of traffic.
3,462 TSMAs inspected
What we inspect
Traffic Signal Mast Arms (TSMAs)
Traffic Signal Mast Arms (TSMAs) are rigid, cantilevered pole-mounted arms that extend over roadways and support traffic signals to ensure orderly and safe movement of vehicles through intersections. Regular inspections to verify structural integrity and functionality are vital for public safety. At FIT Engineering, we provide expert inspection services to uphold safety standards and maintain the reliability of these critical transportation elements.
478HMLPs inspected
What we inspect
High Mast Light Poles
High mast light poles are essential for illuminating roads and public spaces, enhancing safety for both drivers and pedestrians. To ensure they function effectively, regular inspection is crucial, as these poles face diverse weather challenges while needing to maintain optimal visibility. At FIT Engineering, we specialize in thorough inspection services using hands-on access at ground level and drone assistance at higher altitudes to guarantee the reliability and safety of these important lighting structures.
