Massachusetts Statewide bridge inspections

Steere Engineering performed bridge inspections throughout the state for the Massachusetts Department of Transportation in accordance with the National Bridge Inventory System (NBIS) standards on a variety of bridge and inspection types.

Bridge inspections have been performed on various superstructure types including simple and multi-spans consisting of steel girders, prestressed concrete beams, timber beams, reinforced concrete slabs, and reinforced concrete culverts. Bridge Inspection types have included routine, special member, fracture critical and freeze/thaw.

All field inspections and associated reports were performed and prepared in accordance with FHWA’s National Bridge Inspection Standards (NBIS), the FHWA Recording and Coding Guide for the Structural Inventory & Appraisal of the Nation’s Bridges, the AASHTO Manual for Condition Evaluation of Bridges, and the MassDOT Bridge Inspection Handbook. All inspections were documented using MassDOT’s 4D database.
