Engineers Developers - Construction Managers RHSConsultingDesign, L.L.C.The FirmFounderRHS PROFILE

RHS Consulting Design is a multidisciplinary consulting engineering firm that provides quality and reliability in a wide range of engineering fields. We are a Small Business Enterprise (SBE) certified by the Department of Administrative Services and are on the pre-qualified list with several Departments of Transportation.

RHS was founded in 2003, incorporated into the state of Connecticut in 2005, and is licensed to practice professional engineering services in the states of Connecticut, New York, and Florida.

Engineers Developers - Construction Managers RHSConsultingDesign, L.L.C.The Firm

Mr. Rifat Saleh, PE, director of structural engineering, has more than 27 years of experience in structural design and construction of buildings, bridges, railroads, marine structures, tunnels, and other structures. He is a licensed professional engineer in multiple states, with both Bachelors and Masters degrees in civil engineering. He also serves as a structural engineering specialist with the Urban Search and Rescue of Connecticut (USAR), TF-1, as part of the Homeland Security Task Force.

In addition to overseeing RHS and participating in several multi-million dollar design projects, Mr. Saleh works as an adjunct professor teaching structural engineering courses at the University of Hartford.

The Founder

RR Bridge Inspection9

Bridge DesignPreliminary Engineering Study (survey, condition survey, geotechnical boring reports)Bridge Type Study: (Value Engineering)Superstructure alternates of different materials including Steel, Prestressed deck units, AASHTO Beams, box girders, etc.Selection will be based on site specific, span length, environmental, and estheticsPerform hydrology and hydraulic reportPerform traffic signalization studyEnvironmental impact studyPrepare field sketches and provide illustrative photos. Identify the type of foundation (spread footing or piles). If necessary, take a test pitSubsurface exploration and a geotechnical report.Utility coordinationEvaluation of differing site conditions Evaluation of the suitability of different types of temporary shoring and dewatering systems Provide means and methods for shoring of the adjacent structure during constructionProvide construction cost estimate for the each alternate

Final Design (final plans and complete construction documents)Submissions: 30%, 60% & 100 %.Perform Final Design Computations.Prepare Final plans and special provisions for the selected alternate.Prepare final Construction Cost Estimates.Complete Bid Documents.
