Testimonials: “If Tensor can detail it, we can build it.”

That is the consensus of our clients at Tensor Engineering. We are proud of the quality work we do. So are our clients:

Tensor Engineering has provided exemplary detailing and engineering support for over 30 years, to the Tampa Steel Erecting Company. We have fabricated literally hundreds of bridges from Tensor’s shop drawings, computer numerically controlled programs, and 3-D models. Stand out examples are:
• the 300 foot tall, 1200 foot long, octagonal shaped, twin arches of the Salvatore Calatrava designed, Margaret McDermott signature bridge, over the Trinity river, in Dallas, Tx
• the iconic Scioto River “Dublin Link” pedestrian bridge – with its 500 foot cable supported main span, winner of the 2022 National Steel Bridge Association Prize Bridge Award, and the only single tower S-shaped suspension bridge in the world
•. the Big Four Pedestrian Bridge ramp and platform, transforming the waterfront park in Louisville, Ky, with 1.5 million annual visitors – Tensor’s 3-D model was critical in guiding the sequence of fabrication in the compact, tightly curved twin box girder structure.
For the most complex projects, it is said, “If Tensor can detail it, we can build it”.

“When it comes to detailing a complicated bridge project like the Sarah Long we put our confidence in Tensor Engineering. The Tensor team consistently provides us with the best detail drawings possible, from simple spans to complicated tub girder and lift spans. Their experienced team ensures that when it comes time for us to fabricate a bridge that they have worked through potential construction issues and delivered a product that meets our standard of excellence”

“Veritas Steel is proud to have a very strong working relationship with Tensor Engineering. Whether we are in need of advice, quick turnaround drawings, or detailing services for (Frederick Douglass in D.C., Merchants truss in St Louis as just a few) some of the most complex projects in the country, they are up to the challenge and handle our needs with class and always in a professional manner. Bill and his staff continue to be the industry leader for steel bridges!”

STEEL WAS THE CHOSEN MATERIAL for the original bridge over the St. John River between Madawaska, Maine, and Edmundston, New Brunswick, which opened in 1921. A century later, it was also the choice for the replacement. The Madawaska-Edmundston bridge is more than a commercial corridor and U.S.-Canada crossing. Many residents have family members on each side of the bridge. Some live on one side and work

CHICAGO – Walter J. Gatti, founder of Tensor Engineering, died April 25 after a brief illness. Gatti, 88, had boundless energy and a passion for the steel fabrication industry–so much so that he continued to work seven days a week until his recent illness. The American Institute of Steel Construction presented him with a Lifetime Achievement Award in 2004. Gatti discovered his passion for steel structures during
