Enhancing the
quality of life for all Queensland
communities
Bridges and other structures are crucial asset elements of the infrastructure network. It is essential that their condition is monitored and repairs are planned and completed in an efficient and timely manner. The systematic inspection, condition rating and monitoring of these assets are vital components to managing the lifecycle of these structures.
A Level 1 routine maintenance inspection is required to check the general serviceability of the structure, particularly for the safety of road users, and identify any emerging problems.
A Level 2 condition rating inspection is a key step in assessing the effectiveness of past maintenance treatments and identifying current maintenance needs to assist in the forecasting future changes in condition and estimating future budget requirements of structures across the network.
Note: It will be beneficial for attendees to have a basic knowledge of bridges and culverts.

Day 1 will investigate in detail the purpose and basics of a Level 1 bridge inspection, common problems and defects in structures and worked examples on how to undertake inspections, procedures, work health & safety, equipment requirements and completion of inspection reports.
Day 2 will include field inspections where attendees are required to practice Level 1 inspections and complete the inspection reports. Completed inspections will be reviewed and discussed, and attendees will be provided feedback on the assessments to ensure satisfactory understanding and competence in conducting Level 1 inspections. The program will then move to addressing in detail the purpose and basics of a Level 2 bridge inspection, common problems and defects in structures and worked examples on how to undertake inspections, procedures, WHS, equipment requirements and completion of inspection reports.
Day 3 will include field inspections of various structures where delegates are required to practise Level 2 inspections and complete the inspection reports. Completed inspections will be reviewed and discussed, and delegates will be
provided feedback on the assessments to ensure satisfactory understanding and competence in conducting Level 2 inspections.
