Case Study: Intertek-PSI: helping to build sustainable, forward-looking infrastructure

Since late 2020, Professional Service Industries, Inc. (Intertek-PSI) has supported the Gordie Howe International Bridge project’s U.S. Port of Entry and I-75 interchange components in Detroit, Michigan.

The Gordie Howe International Bridge is a cable-stayed bridge, currently under construction, across the Detroit River. A dedicated on-site laboratory, set up specifically for this project, has been crucial to ensuring that our Materials Quality Assurance ('QA') and Quality Control ('QC') inspection and testing services could meet the demands of the project’s tight schedule.

Intertek-PSI's involvement in the project aligns perfectly with our sustainability ethos of prioritising social, environmental and economic responsibility in building and construction. Our role in supporting quality, design and material selections for durability and resilience are integral to the project’s overall sustainability efforts, ensuring that the materials and construction methods used contribute to the project's long-term environmental and community benefits. The bridge is slated to open in autumn 2025.
