Challenges in Conducting Bridge Inspections
2
Overview

• Bridges play a very special role in improving a
  countrys economy. Bridges play a crucial role in
  land transportation infrastructure by bridging
  gaps and connecting otherwise inaccessible
  points. There are so many bridges in the United
  States. Some bridges are very impressive and some
  requires repair. United Bridge Partners is one of
  the top private bridge infrastructure companies
  that provides private bridge capital for solving
  infrastructure crisis.
• The maintenance, inspection, and repair of the
  numerous public bridges situated throughout the
  United States fall under the purview of the
  Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). The
  National Bridge Inspection Standards (NBIS)
  enforce regulations for maintaining bridges,
  stipulating that inspections must be conducted
  every 24 months.

Costly Equipment

• The process of inspecting bridges can be hindered
  by the need for costly equipment. While certain
  bridges can be inspected using basic tools and
  on-foot inspections, others require more
  specialized resources. Additionally, suspension
  rigs or under-bridge-inspection-trucks (UBITs)
  are indispensable for assessing the condition of
  the underside of large bridges. Watercraft, large
  lights, scaffolding, and electronic equipment may
  also be required.

Lane Closures and Traffic Disruptions

• The location and design of a bridge may require
  rerouting or temporarily halting traffic to
  facilitate a thorough inspection. This can result
  in delays, complaints, or potential traffic
  risks. Effective traffic control measures often
  involve coordination with local law enforcement
  agencies.

Strict Regulations

• Bridge inspection procedures are influenced by
  different regulations. The inspections need to be
  conducted in a manner that does not disrupt the
  migratory and nesting periods of endangered and
  protected birds.
