Redefining Infrastructure Inspections
Monitoring is cost effective solution to ageing infrastructure provided the monitoring tool provides decision makers with adequate information. Bradley Engineering’s sub-millimeter resolution 3D models capture a permanent and accurate record of visual and spatial condition, providing unprecedented access to inaccessible infrastructure.
Inspections that simplify the decision making process.
Improved decision making could lead to several benefits:
-
Reduced Inspection and Shutdown Frequency
Gain confidence in condition and plan inspections, and therefore shutdowns, according to actual deterioration trends rather than a predetermined schedule.
-
Optimized Repair Schedule
Perform repairs according to actual deterioration trends, rather than predetermined intervals. Catch minor deterioration before it becomes a major repair..
-
Reduced Lifecycle Spending
Perform well timed minor repairs based on deterioration trends and avoid the significant costs associated with major rehabilitation.
-
Reduced Risk of Failure
Gain a better understanding of the condition of an asset and confidence in its performance.
-
Increased Asset Performance
Maintain asset performance by better understanding its deterioration trend and optimizing repairs.
-
Extended Service Life
Continuous monitoring can be a cost effective method of extending service life beyond the original design life compared to complete replacement.
