  36. Arrigoni Bridge Through Arch Bridge PROJECT Inspection of suspender cables and Pins CLIENT AI Engineers IPC ROLE Special Assessment: 10 year detailed NDT inspection Bridge Hanger Pin – Ultrasonic Magnetic Flux Leakage of Suspender Cables Laser Vibrometery to calculate tensile load on cables Problem solved Met 10 year inspection requirement

  37. Bridge Deck Deterioration Assessments NY Thruway PROJECT Inspection of Multiple Bridge Decks CLIENT New York State Thruway Authority IPC ROLE Special deterioration assessment to develop priority maintenance plan Problem solved Bridge repair prioritization based on deterioration analysis

  38. Cable Stay Inspection Skyway Bridge PROJECT Robotic Visual Inspection of Bridge Cable Stays CLIENT DBI Services IPC ROLE QC inspection of 9 Cable Stays following Traditional Inspection Problem Solved Identified surface condition anomalies that could not be detected from ground based visual method.

  39. Post Tension Tendon Assessment Wando River Bridge PROJECT Tendon condition assessment CLIENT HDR Engineering IPC ROLE Condition assessment of Tendon to determine extent of corrosion due to age of bridge Problem Solved Loose and failed tendons led to concern of condition of tendon system. IPC solution included magnetic flux in lieu of ECT, which produced misleading results. MF result led to fewer invasive examinations from open tendon
