Charlotte has over twelve (12) years of bridge engineering experience in the design, planning, analysis and evaluation of transportation structures. She has extensive experience in the design and evaluation of culverts and bridges of varying complexity. This includes steel plate girder bridges and precast concrete girder bridges of both single and continuous spans. Charlotte has been involved in multiple bridge rehabilitation designs and replacements, some of which involved innovative replacement strategies; such as, the use of SPMTs, launching devices, balanced cantilevers, and temporary cable stays and towers. Charlotte also has experience incorporating cathodic protection systems into rehabilitation designs to extend the life of existing structures. Additionally, she has experience designing replacement structures involving complex staging strategies, when necessary, when maintaining traffic is critical, as well as, when called for due to environmental constraints. Charlotte possesses extensive and demonstrated knowledge of the Canadian Highway Bridge Design Code, as well as, the Ministry’s policies, procedures, standards, specifications and manuals. Charlotte has successful comprehensive experience preparing contract document packages; including, contract drawings, specifications, special provisions, non-standard special provisions and applicable standard drawings. She has recent experience completing several MTO assignments involving preliminary and detailed design.

Charlotte joined DDA in 2021 and has been involved in the detailed design of the Township of Centre Wellington Bridge 24-WG Replacement (23.1 m slab on precast girder bridge). She also completed the fatigue evaluation of the Eastern Avenue Bridge at the Don River Parkway for the City of Toronto, the inspection, evaluation and/or assessment of bridge rehabilitation alternatives (life cycle cost analysis) for the City of Toronto on the Metrolinx Railway Bridge over the Don Valley Parkway and the Dufferin Street Bridge over the Gardiner and Metrolinx Railway Corridor.
