  1. International Bridge study Enhanced Visual Inspection US 202 & NJ 23 over US 202 (Mountain View Blvd.) Wayne County, New Jersey Presented At: International Bridge Study Workshop Piscataway Twp, NJ Tuesday, June 14, 2011 Presented By: Jason Winterling, P.E. Pennoni Associates Inc. & Benjamin Witter InspectTech Systems, Inc.

  2. Overview • Introduction to InspectTech Software • Inspection Objectives • Field Inspection • Advantages and Lessons Learned • Recommendations • InspectTech Solutions

  3. Introduction to InspectTech • Focused on providing quality software solutions for structure inspection and management • Provide Inspection Software • Provide Management Software • System Design/Integration • Recommendations on Technology

  4. Inspection Objectives • Field test InspectTech interface with available hardware and equipment. • Develop recommendations for InspectTech system to streamline inspection and reporting process. • Develop best practices for enhanced visual inspection with InspectTech.

  5. Field Inspection • Inspection Date: 6/9/11 • Inspectors: Jason Winterling, PE, CBSI and Terry Potts, CBSI • Weather: Sunny 95˚ F • Equipment: Bucket van, laptop, smart-phone for wireless connection to InspectTech, walkie-talkies, inspection tools (camera, sounding hammer, ruler, calipers, etc.), table and chair, safety gear • Element: Span 2 Northbound Superstructure

  6. Field Inspection

  7. Field Inspection

  8. Inspection Findings

  9. Advantages • Inspection forms and documentation completed in the field • Elements rated • Fatigue details were referenced and assigned categories • Ease of maneuverability through forms • Drawings available for reference • Staging area for work available on site

  10. Lessons Learned • Account for setup time and mobility of hardware • Communication between inspectors is essential • Incorporate defect and general photos without additional paperwork • Interface requires some initial configuration to tailor inspection forms to each bridge and provide discrete elements for insertion of data (repairs, deficiencies, ratings, etc.)

  11. Lessons Learned

  12. Recommendations • Combination of existing technologies to create a full-service bridge inspection and reporting application • Advanced Hardware (Smart Phone/Tablet) • Integrated cameras with embedded GPS coordinates and bearing • 3-D Modeling Software for database • Talk to Text applications

  13. Recommendations

  14. Overview • Inspection • Management • Start inspection on laptop/tablet • Submitted to Web-Server when in office • Report continued from any computer • Submitted for review • Reviewed and approved online • Able to run reporting and searching on data

  15. Inspection Software: Major Benefits • Electronic collection: Reduces errors and eliminates redundant data entry • Picture Organization • Integration of Manuals • Easy incorporation of attachments • Automatically pre-load past data • Saves significant time by formatting the report and auto-generating many sections: • Table of Contents • Cover Page • Page Numbering

  16. Program

  17. Typical Inspection Form

  18. Manuals/Reference Pictures

  19. Integrated Calculations

  20. Simple Report Generation

  21. Plans of Action – Routine/Scour/FC

  22. Software Benefits: Repair Items & Costs

  23. Report Review/Approval • Reports have full lifecycle and accountability • Tabs clearly show status of reports • Clearly documented who did the inspection • What changes were made • Who reviewed and when • Information not entered into official database until it is approved • Future: Auto-flag certain bridges for review

  24. Management Software All bridge data in a single location with easy to use and powerful modules for past, current, and future info/tasks. Pictures/Sketches GIS Scheduling Prioritization Cost Estimates Instant Access Reporting/Searching

  25. Features of Management System • Full Search Capabilities • Track/Highlight Changes • Accountability of all data entered/changed • Instant Data Access: All digitized documents can be stored and retrieved, such as • Pictures • Diagrams • Memos - Standardized Reports from all inspection/inventory data • Maintenance Needs / Priorities • Scheduling • Interactive Interfaces • Triggers/Alerts • Consultant assignment • Sufficiency Rating calculators/reporting • Do not lose critical knowledge when people retire

  26. Trending Module • Much cheaper and safer to fix problems when they are just starting • Software’s trending tools allow inspectors to quickly find new problems early on • Able to find changes on NBI and Element Level data

  27. System Reports • Upcoming Inspections (by type/district) • Overdue Inspections (by type/district) • High Priority Deficiencies • Reports Awaiting Approval • Quarterly Status Summary • Status of each district • Compliance details of counties

  28. Advanced Views • Satellite View • Interactive StreetView

  29. Query Results • Queries can be saved for later use • Organized by user and category • Can be retrieved and edited • Columns can be showed as values or definitions • Additional non-queried columns can be easily added

  30. Administration • Create/Delete Bridges • Archive Bridge • Create/Delete Users • Assign Permissions • Many roles • Various levels of permission by bridge or function • Field Organizer

  31. Full Auditing

  32. Audit Details

  33. Paint Prioritization Example

  34. Prioritized Reports By Component

  35. Easily Generate Graphical Output

  36. Executive Dashboard of Main Metrics

  37. Large/Special Bridges

  38. Paper Report

  39. Tree Structure of Bridge User drilling down to bridge, span, superstructure, main span, verticals, north truss and specific parts
