Bridge Inspections

 

In the State of Illinois the responsibility of performing the biennial bridge condition inspections has been delegated to the local agencies, and with the increased qualification the Federal Highway Administration has required, it has become more and more difficult for local agencies to have the qualified staff and the time to perform the inspections. 

 

We at Willett, Hofmann & Associates, Inc. are well qualified to perform your bridge inspections.  We have three employees who have completed IDOT’s qualifications to become state qualified to ensure that bridges are inspected as described in the National Bridge Inspection Standards of the Code of Federal Regulations, one as an IDOT qualified Program Manager and two as state qualified Team Leaders.  In addition, we have a long history of award winning bridge design.  The structural engineers who design bridges are the very same people who oversee the inspection of bridges, so you can be assured that your bridges are being inspected by experts who truly understand the structure of bridges from their very core.    We feel that these qualified and experienced employees make WHA an outstanding choice for your bridge inspections.

 

Our approach to the inspection is not to simply complete the state required field inspection and forms, but also to complete additional reports so that you are confident in your knowledge of the condition of your bridges.  We do this by preparing a series of reports that allow us to inform you in a short time of the conditions we spend hours or even days studying and evaluating.  We prepare a report to highlight bridges where we have lowered the rating on a key component.  We then prepare an additional report that summarizes the bridges that have concerns along with our recommended maintenance or replacement action.  These reports can be formatted to your specifications, if need be. 

Willett, Hofmann & Associates, Inc. has been performing inspections in accordance with the Local Agency Bridge Inspection Program for sixteen years, and the number of repeat clients we have stands as a testament to the quality of our work.
