Assets We Inspect
Typical assets include steel bridges, pedestrian bridges, gantries, parapets, rail structures, coastal transport links, and hard-to-access supporting steelwork.
Inspection scopes can combine visual coating assessment, corrosion mapping, ultrasonic thickness readings, paint inspection, and specialist access planning.
Common Risks
Transport structures often show localised corrosion at joints, drainage points, bolted connections, bearings, splash zones, and areas where coating systems have been damaged by impact or poor access.
Early survey work gives owners a defensible basis for maintenance budgets, warranty discussions, and repair specifications.
Recommended Approach
Start with a coating condition survey to identify visible defects and likely deterioration mechanisms. Use corrosion surveys and NDT where section loss, pitting, or hidden corrosion is suspected.
Where access is difficult, IRATA rope access can reduce disruption and avoid large scaffold packages for inspection-only work.
