Bridge Network Condition & Capability Assessments.

Project Description.
GSC engaged Ductile Consulting Engineers (through Constructive Solutions Pty Ltd) to undertake Level 2 and Level 3 inspections of their network.
To ensure cost-effective outcomes that maximise the level of insight into the network, we proposed a two-stage program. The first stage included level 2 inspections of all bridges, and Tier 1-2D assessments of all bridges where previous assessments had not been completed.
From the first stage, we were able to identify which bridges were meeting councils level of service requirements, and which bridges needed further attention.
The second stage of the program included level 3 inspections on 3 bridges, and analysis to determine appropriate management actions for the network.
