Making Bridges Better

In-house load testing

Ansha specializes in high load, large displacement structural and mechanical testing. We offer unique testing setups facilitated by our experienced engineers. With all load testing services completed on-site, Ansha can meet tight testing deadlines at a reasonable cost.


Ansha in-house operations include a fabrication shop with overhead cranes, heavy lifting capacities, certified welders, weld positioners, media blasting and machine shop. Ansha also offers low rates for raw materials in our manufactured products. These advantages allow for excellent pricing on fixturing, commonly the highest cost of customized structural or mechanical load testing.
