BridgeSight Signs Contract With Texas DOT to perform PGSuper Modifications

May 1, 2006 - BridgeSight Software signs contract with the Texas Department of Transporation Bridge Division to customize the open source girder design program PGSuper to fit TxDOT's needs for their LRFD implementation. When finished, TxDOT will have a girder design program that is tailored to meet their needs at a fraction of the cost to develop software from scratch.

PGSuper is owned and developed by the Washington Department of Transporation, but its open source license allows others to modify and distribute the program freely. For more information about PGSuper, go WSDOT's software home page at: http://www.wsdot.wa.gov/eesc/bridge/software

Washington DOT Releases PGSuper 1.5.

October 1, 2004 - PGSuper version 1.5 is released. After several minor releases, Rick Brice at WSDOT and Richard Pickings at BridgeSight Software have combined forces to deliver a major upgrade to PGSuper.PGSuper is a MFC-based, Windows program for the design of precast girder bridges based on the AASHTO LRFD Specifications. PGSuper has a highly interactive graphical user interface that is designed for use in a production-engineering environment. Since its implementation, Washington State Department of Transportation engineers have reduced the time to design a bridge superstructure from ten days using previous methods to under five hours with PGSuper. This mature program is currently in its second major release with current development toward Version 2.0, which will include major features such as whole-bridge modeling, non-compositesections, and debonding.
