Muti Beam Bridge Inspections

Today we inspected two muti beam bridges which carry I-95 North and South bound. Both bridges had several large spalls and hollow areas. There were a few areas of minor section loss and a couple holes in the web and web stiffeners.

Since we inspected the bridge two years ago we were able to insect the bridge more efficiently. We will also be conducting a rating for the bridge in the near future and were able to save drive time and confirm measurements for the rating.

I-95 Culvert and Arcadia Arch

Today I inspected a concrete box culvert with two cells. The culvert is 150 feet long and was pretty tricky to move around in with a few layers to stay warm and a pair of chest waders to stay dry.

The concrete arch is located right at Arcadia Park in Exeter, Rhode Island and spans over a small river.

Both structures required little to no equipment but waders certainly made it easier.

Arcadia has many trails for hiking and offers many small timber bridges with 5 ton postings typicaly so becareful if you're hauling something close that tonage.
