2023 marked 40 years for MC, and was filled with growth and celebrations for our company. In 2024, we look forward to continued company growth as we expand our Florida office, continue to offer and develop new contractor assistance services (ie. shop drawing preparation and CA support), while building new relationships with architects, contractors, and developers.
The original 1922 6-span simply supported steel deck truss bridge on Phoenix Road in Baltimore County, MD went through a rehabilitation process that was completed in 1982. During the routine biennial bridge inspection in 2009, significant deterioration to the floor beams was found along the exterior of the bridge, resulting in the bridge capacity to be reduced to single-lane traffic controlled by traffic signals at both ends of the bridge.
The demolition of the existing bridge started in 2022 and required Morabito Consultants to analyze overweight construction machinery to prepare sequencing and procedures for a safe demolition. MC is proud to have worked with Gray and Son, Inc. in contributing to the replacement of this important bridge, allowing two-way traffic to resume connecting York and Papermill Road.
More information about this project can be found on the Baltimore City Department of Transportation website here.
In observance of Christmas, MC will be closing early today, December 22nd, at 12pm and will reopen with normal business hours on Tuesday, December 26th.
Thank you and have a safe, happy, and healthy Christmas weekend.

Corporate wants you to find the difference between this outfit and this outfit…
Morabito Consultants has always been forward-thinking when it comes to utilizing technologically advanced structural software. MC recently added structural steel design software IDEA StatiCa to our broad list of programs. IDEA StatiCa allows MC to analyze and design structural steel connections with unlimited geometry, allowing economical solutions for simple and complicated connections alike. IDEA’s power comes from the combination of non-linear Finite Element Analysis with traditional code checking of steel components such as bolts and welds. Steel plate verification is performed by limiting usable plastic strain (strain beyond the elastic capacity) to 3% to 5%. Numerous modes of elastic buckling are also examined by consideration of whether the buckling is the result of a member or connecting plate such as a stiffener or connection plate. Other useful features of the program include connection stiffness analysis to assist in classifying a connection as a moment or shear connection for use in the overall steel frame analysis. MC looks forward to implementing IDEA StatiCa into our routine structural steel connection design and shop drawing preparation.
