Every inspection type your program calls for.
We use the same FHWA and AASHTO terms your solicitation does, and we code to the NBIS, SNBI and AASHTO element standards your BrM database expects.
Routine NBIS / SNBI inspections
Scheduled inspections of on-system and off-system bridges at the interval your program sets. Condition ratings, SNBI items, photos and notes that the next team can follow.
AASHTO element-level inspection
Element and defect coding to the AASHTO Manual for Bridge Element Inspection and your state's coding guide, with quantities in each condition state.
NSTM inspections
Hands-on inspection of nonredundant steel tension members, still often called fracture critical. Every member and connection on the NSTM plan, within arm's length.
In-depth & hands-on inspections
Close-up inspection of members or details that need more than a routine look, with measured section loss and crack lengths.
Damage & emergency inspections
After a vehicle strike, flood, scour event or fire. We tell you what we see, whether the bridge can stay open, and what has to happen first. Contact us now at info@pes-engineering.com.
Specialized access
UBIT (snooper), rope access by SPRAT-certified inspectors, and drone / UAS flown by an FAA Part 107 remote pilot. We pick the method for the structure and the traffic.
Culverts, sign & ancillary structures
Large culverts, overhead sign structures, high-mast lights and other ancillary structures on your inventory.
Underwater inspection
Our own dive team, led by an ADCI surface-supplied diving supervisor, inspects substructure, scour and footings below the waterline, so the underwater findings land in the same report as the rest of the bridge.
BrM data entry & reporting
Inspection data entered in AASHTOWare BrM, with photos and reports submitted in your agency's format.
