Bridge Survey: Ensuring Safety and Efficiency with Dolphin Engineers

Being one of the infrastructural developments that bridge communities and make transportation easy, bridges, like any other structure, degrade with time and may present different hazards to public safety and traffic flow. It is in this regard that the importance of bridge surveys becomes evident. Therefore, this blog looks at why bridge surveys are so important, the process involved in them, and how Dolphin Engineers, is a leading provider of bridge survey services.

Why Bridge Surveys are Indispensable

Bridge surveys form part of the maintenance and management of bridges. It generally consists of careful inspection of the bridge condition, listing defects, damages, or other hazardous conditions that may be found. The main aims of a bridge survey include: To ensure public safety by identifying potential risks and hazards To assess the structural integrity of the bridge To give priority to maintenance and repair works To optimize bridge performance and extend its operational life

The Process of Bridge Survey A comprehensive bridge survey would take into account the following various aspects:

Visual Inspection: This refers to a process in which, on the whole, the superstructure, substructure, and other components of the bridge are looked at to detect any visible signs of damage or deterioration. 

Non-Destructive Testing: Specialized equipment is used in testing without causing damage to the bridge. The NDT methods might include ultrasonic, radiography, and acoustic emission testing.

Data Analysis: The data visual inspection and non-destructive testing, comes along with the study of any trends, patterns, or alarming information. Detailed reporting and recommendations that involve identifying work that needs to be done for maintenance and repairs, and a work schedule.

Underwater Inspection

Some of the companies offer inspection assistance for immersed structures, including piers, bridges, water control structures, water tank interiors, waterfront structures, and sub-aqueous pipelines. Some of the leading underwater inspection services find out the circumstances can be quite short on structures, posing extraordinary challenges to inspectors who must assess scour, temporal conditions, or construction. That services include visual inspection and condition and structure inspection.

MODERN SCIENCE has discovered that the UNCONSCIOUS MIND performs About 400Billion actions a second - from controlling our heartbeat and breathing to seeing things out of the corner of our eye and determining whether they are worthy of our attention or can be safely ignored. While the conscious mind processes only about 2000 bits of information a second. Because of this, many of us fall prey to bad habits of which we are not even aware. . . . #diningtabledecor #diningatthealtar #defied #lockdowndetox #enge #devotiondaily #dailydevotionswithjen #zaleeshow #mindshiftgear #digitaleconomy #onlineeducationplatform #bridgeinspection #bridegettingready #spiritualmatters #decadenceaz #drastichaircut #ayosemangat #boomerangs #broomchallenge #braconnage #talentandbusiness #talenthub #christianentertainmentsemarang @atenagavictor @joypanam @max1023fm @gospelnaija @fortuneebel_ (at Chevron,Lekki Peninsula) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEpiYSdFS5J/?igshid=1nu7whpdaiylx

Clearly this is not intended use of any of those pieces of equipment.

A proprietary tendon condition assessment report is generated identifying locations and sizes of any discontinuities. #PostTensionTendonInspections

TendonScan® is IPC’s term that encompasses both of these services. The RF unit is a light weight,  #posttensiontendon  battery operated system that couples and travels along a tendon performing a MRI like inspection of the material within the tendon. The inspector stands at the control station located on a wheeled cart and moves along with the sensor. The sensor uses wireless connectivity to transmit the MRI like data to the control station where the inspector performs real-time assessments of the discontinuities within the tendon.

Both TendonScan® units utilizes proprietary patented leading edge non-destructive testing (NDT) technology.  #bridgeinspection The nondestructive testing NDT method used is based on  RF an advancement over the outdated Electrical Capacitance  (ECT).  RF and Magnetic Flux Leakage  are the industry’s newest NDT technologies that allows our inspectors to perform MRI like inspections of external bridge tendons.#bridgeinspections
