L2 Bridge Inspections.
Client.

Location.
Tamworth, NSW
Project Description.
A large number of Tamworth Regional Council’s (TRC) bridge and culvert structures were overdue for Level 2 inspection. TRC engaged Ductile Consulting Engineers (DCE) to undertake inspections of 64 bridges and 122 major culverts.
Our Role
DCE were engaged to undertake the following:
- Level 2 inspections;
- Inspection reporting; and
- Network summary reporting.
Value Delivered
By using an tailored inspection methodology for culverts (TfNSW Culvert Inspection and Risk methodology) rather than the bridge inspection manual (TMR SIM used for bridges), we were able to provide significantly cheaper inspection reports, with inspection data tailored to suit culverts.
