Assemble design, inspection, maintenance and operating records, describe defects and traffic restrictions. Bearing replacement and member strengthening require investigation, not decisions based only on age or appearance.
Describe condition and operations
Provide defect changes, previous repairs, traffic arrangements, working-space constraints and equipment access.
Define the deliverables
Agree investigation, scheme, construction and monitoring scope and responsibilities. Sequence and traffic arrangements depend on the bridge; historical cases only explain work types.
Information to prepare
General information for project discussion. Specific decisions require site investigation, testing and professional design.
