The Texas Dept. of Transportation on Jan. 10 removed FIGG Bridge Engineers as engineer-of-record from its $800-million US 181 Harbor Bridge replacement project in Corpus Christi, instructing developer Flatiron/Dragados LLC to replace the embattled design firm as the project’s lead engineer.
The action came after TxDOT conducted a review of FIGG’s design work that the agency initiated last October, just after the National Transportation Safety Board issued its findings on the 2018 pedestrian bridge collapse in Miami.
