University of Arizona Student Night
Speaker: Claudia Perchinelli, PE, Bridge Engineer at Structural Grace, Inc.
The Tucson Chapter of the SEAoA is hosting a University of Arizona Student Night
Claudia Perchinelli has over 26 years of experience in the design, project management and construction engineering of transportation related structures. She was the structures project manager for the design of the Kino Parkway over 22nd St Overpass and is managing the post design services portion of this project that is currently under construction. Claudia is a University of Arizona graduate (BSCE) and returned to Tucson in 1999 to establish Structural Grace, Inc. She received her MSCE from the University of Colorado – Boulder.
Structural Grace provided structural and architectural design and production of construction documents for the Kino Pkwy over 22nd Street Overpass Structure as part of the Kino Pkwy-22nd Street Traffic Interchange Project. The structure is a three-span hybrid Cast-In-Place Post Tensioned Box Girder with a drop-in Pre-cast Box Girder. This design facilitates traffic control by allowing 22nd Street to remain open during bridge construction. Structural Grace coordinated the design processes for the multi-discipline team with specific responsibility for the bridge architecture component of the project.
