Bridge Intelligence

  A fracture critical bridge is a structure where the failure of a single component could cause the entire span to collapse, since there's no redundancy to carry the load if that piece fails. This category includes many older steel truss and girder bridges that were designed before redundant load paths became standard practice. Because of this vulnerability, a fracture critical bridge requires inspection protocols that go well beyond routine visual assessment. Inspectors need hands-on access to every fracture critical member, often requiring specialized equipment like snooper trucks or scaffolding to reach areas that standard inspections might overlook. Identifying which structures qualify as fracture critical bridge candidates starts with reviewing original design documents and structural configurations. Agencies managing older infrastructure often discover fracture critical elements they hadn't fully documented, making a thorough structural review an important first step be...

Managing roads, bridges, and other infrastructure requires accurate data and efficient workflows. AssetIntel helps transportation agencies connect asset records, inspections, and maintenance activities through modern infrastructure asset software Infrastructure teams often manage information across spreadsheets, inspection reports, photographs, and maintenance records. When these sources are disconnected, finding information and tracking asset conditions can become time-consuming. Modern infrastructure asset software brings essential data into a centralized environment. Teams can monitor asset conditions, review inspection history, track maintenance work, and access important information more efficiently. Better data also supports smarter maintenance planning. Agencies can identify assets that need attention, prioritize work based on condition, and plan resources more effectively. This helps organizations move from reactive repairs toward proactive infrastructure management. Connected...
