Janssen & Spaans Engineering, Inc. is known throughout the United States as a leader and innovator in the bridge design profession. JSE is credited with innovative uses of steel and concrete in the design and construction of large, multi-span bridges with complex roadway geometries. Numerous local and national institutions and associations have recognized us for our outstanding road and bridge designs. Some of those awards are listed below:

ACEC National Awards of Excellence

2002 ACEC National Award
US 27 over Caloosahatchee Canal Moore Haven, Florida
This post-tensioned spliced concrete girder bridge is a value engineering project for the Florida DOT. JSE developed the design for the 3-span Channel Unit (210’ – 320’ – 210’) and provided construction assistance. The 320’ main span is a record length in the USA utilizing this type of construction.

2001 ACEC National Award
US 231 over Ohio River
Maysville, Kentucky

JSE performed design calculations for the steel cable-stayed with a main span of 1050'.  Both steel and concrete alternates with multiple span configurations were analyzed during the design process for this signature structure in Maysville, Kentucky.

Prestressed Concrete Institute National Awards of Excellence

1993 PCI National Award
US 23 over Shelby Creek
Pikeville, Kentucky

JSE produced an alternate design for the Kentucky DOT utilizing post-tensioned spliced I-beams. Due to height of columns (200’ max.) structure used double plate columns which eliminated the need for any falsework. 980’ long, 5 span post-tensioned precast concrete girder bridge.

1986 PCI National Award
Ramp B over US 23
Pikesville, Kentucky

This precast segmental structure, erected with the balanced cantilever method is a prime example of what can be done with segmental construction at complicated site conditions. Not only was the structure erected over two other levels, the structure had a vertical curvature (+3.0,-5.0%) super elevated at 0.08'/ft., and horizontal curvature with a radius of 572.0'.
