Just received a memo from MassDOT for adding a new item to our bridge inspections. MassDOT believes that during inspections the condition, location and material of the shielding should be addressed and I fully agree with them.
MassDOT's district bridge maintenance uses three types for shielding currently (Timber, Expanded Metal and Fabric Wrap) which I have seen at a few bridge located over highways. Even though we have always noted any deficiencies with the shielding in the past, now we will have a guideline for how to address the state before there is a serious problem.
