    • SSIS offers state-of-the-art technologies and value-engineered solutions in the water, mining and transportation industries.  Bulk water pipeline solutions range from advanced numerical modeling (i.e., hydraulic & surge analyses, FEA structural design), verification (i.e., field inspections, calibrations and measurements), to in-line live condition assessment, failure investigations and reviews.  SSIS also designs, supplies and installs soil-steel road, river & rail bridges, pre-fabricated modular steel bridges, mine decline and stockpile tunnels, and mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) retaining and crusher walls.  Lastly, SSIS offers specialized services to develop, install and monitor state-of-the-art measurement instrumentation for the civil and mining engineering industries.
