In order to facilitate access on our transport network, we often construct structures to support the transport functionality. These assets may be bridges, major culverts, tunnels, retaining walls or large sign structures. These assets typically have a layer of complexity and longevity which requires additional expertise and process to ensure they are effectively managed. The capture of relevant data for management is typically performed via inspections.
The three day workshop, focusing primarily on bridges and major culverts, provides the participants to the opportunity to learn how to conduct inspections in accordance with best practice. The course will cover the processes associate with the two major inspection types, Level 1 and 2.
