Bridge inspections are systematic, legally mandated, and safety-critical evaluations of bridge structures to identify defects, monitor deterioration (such as corrosion or cracks), and assess structural integrity.
For example, if a problem in a bridge is not detected early, it could eventually lead to a catastrophic incident, such as a bridge failure or a complete collapse of the bridge, resulting in serious injury or even death.
The prime focus of all bridge inspection is public safety and prolonging economic life of structure.
The assessment includes an assessment of the load carrying capacity of all bridges which is required to determine if fire services can use bridges in an emergency, for example.
