Bridges and other highway structures are of fundamental importance to society as they form essential connections within the highway network.
Highway structures represent a significant investment and often feature prominently within local environments. It is therefore in the public interest to prevent highway structures from deterioration in a way that compromises safety and the functionality of the highway network. Inadequate maintenance can lead to restrictions or closures caused by unsafe structures.
A regular inspection programme should create opportunities for the early identification of any required remedial work, and if done so in a timely manner, will allow for the effective management of risk and the minimisation of associated maintenance costs through early intervention.
To ensure the risks posed by highways structures are effectively managed, it is imperative that those performing inspections are fully competent for the task.
