Infrastructure Asset Advisory Partners
www.bridgeinspections.co.uk | [email protected]
Our highly qualified specialist teams are committed tosupporting you with Infrastructure Inspections, Testing, Design,Assessments and Repair, providing your engineers with anaccurate and meaningful data analysis.
Structures are a vital part of tomorrow’s transport
infrastructure. Future proofing the resilience of the
assets’ life is critical in increasingly hostile
environmental conditions, examples of assets include:
Bridge Stock, Retaining Walls, Earthwork
Embankments and Cuttings, Masts, Towers,
Buildings, Tunnels, Gantries,
Footbridges, Foundations, Multi-Storeys.
We drive efficiencies and save time and generate
financial damage limitation and preventative
maintenance reporting. Each structure is appraised
upon the specific criterion of safe access, fulfilling the
specification and timely delivery of site works and
reporting.
In these challenging site environments, you need
teams you can trust as your ‘Solution Providers’; a
future proof approach to fulfil the exacting
specifications of our partnering clients.
Our dedicated teams are committed to ‘Safe
Practices’. These are enhanced through the use of
innovative new technologies, such as unmanned
remotely operated vehicles, especially where the
location of inspection is too dangerous for man
access.
We are supply chain partners to local authorities and
blue chip companies, operating nationwide.
Inspections and Surveys
The first step in achieving an effective asset analysis, is to ascertain a meaningful
diagnosis of the asset condition.
Through our extensive experience in carrying out
comprehensive inspections and methodical testing
regimes, we ensure that our clients are provided with
an accurate and meaningful assessment of the asset
condition with which to develop stock management
strategies.
From routine General and Principal Inspections
through to Special Inspections and Surveys, we
evaluate each individual structure and select the
safest methodology throughout testing. The most
suitable test is chosen from our non-destructive
testing portfolio to ensure accurate and correct data is
retrieved from site for assessment and any further
analysis and design.

Special Inspections
Post-tensioned structures can show little or no signs of distress despite holding
severe defects. As a result, inspection methods need to be more vigorous.
As post-tensioned cables are buried within the concrete, intrusive methods of inspection are necessary. If not
reinstated properly these locations can be a source of further deterioration. Destructive methods could also
further weaken an already highly stressed structure.

Non-Destructive Testing
The first step to a successful repair is a correct and meaningful diagnosis. This is
reached by a comprehensive investigation and methodical testing regime.
Knowledge of defects and the application of relevant tests is essential. Our method operates in accordance
with approved testing standards and technical procedures ensuring consistent and accurate recording and
testing.
A comprehensive photographic report can include recommendations for repair or further specialised testing.

Full structural assessments consist of capacity assessment,strengthening and design stages.
Capacity AssessmentOur qualified Structural, Civil and Geotechnical
Engineers have extensive experience in the
assessment of infrastructure assets. Working to
current Eurocodes and British design codes relevant
to each industry sector, our engineers will calculate
the load carrying capacity of the structure taking into
account the current condition and results of any
material testing. Where the capacity falls short of that
required by the client, our team can develop options
for managing sub-standard structures.
Strengthening, Refurbishment and RehabilitationWhere a deficiency is identified in a structure through
inspection, testing or capacity assessment, we are
able to design, manage and implement strengthening,
refurbishment and rehabilitation works. Our engineers
have carried out structural rehabilitation design for
numerous structures throughout industry and have
extensive experience in designing and supervising
complex strengthening projects on some of the
busiest infrastructures in the UK. Where we have
carried out inspection and capacity assessment on a
structure, we will ensure to use the same team to
coordinate the design, management and supervision
of any strengthening, refurbishment and rehabilitation
projects on the structure.
DesignOur teams are experienced in all aspects of analysis,
design and detailing of structures, and our offices are
equipped with the latest analysis, design and detailing
software to enable our Chartered professional
engineers to prepare safe, durable, economic and
buildable structural designs.
