Bridge inspection methods
The first step in bridge testing is determining which test method to use. There are several inspection methods, including visual inspection, probing, and non-destructive testing. A visual inspection includes inspecting the surface of the bridge for signs of damage or corrosion. Zoning involves work procedures and technologies to detect voids or weak points. Non-destructive testing involves the use of specialized equipment, scanners, to detect any internal damage or corrosion without damaging the bridge.
Bridge inspection equipment
Commercial divers use specialized equipment to inspect the bridge, including cameras, lights and sonar. Cameras are used to capture high-quality images of the bridge surface, while lights provide illumination for the camera. Sonar is used to detect potential problems or damage in the underwater part of the bridge.
Professional report
Once the inspection is complete, it is important to create a professional report to document the findings. The report should include a detailed description of the test methods used, the equipment used and the results of the test. The report should also include any recommendations for repairs or maintenance to be carried out.
