Structures Inspector Software Improves Bridge Inspections

June 4, 2019
Manage your inventory, structures inspections, work tasks, and fleet assets using tablets and smartphones to save time and money.

Structures Inspector mobile application, a companion to the Structures Inspector web solution, helps bridge inspection teams improve accuracy and efficiency through interactive maps and built-in data validation.

 

Using the mobile application to replace paper-and-clipboard processes, inspectors can see the location of a planned inspection on a map, view the last inspection report, access inventory information, complete National Bridge Inventory (NBI) component and element ratings, and augment ratings with annotated photos—all while working without network connectivity on an Apple iOS or Android tablet. Syncing data from the mobile device with the web application helps field workers increase productivity by eliminating data-entry errors, rework, and repeat trips to inspection sites.

  • Use maps and structure summary cards to quickly determine which inspection candidates to inspect.
  • Download inventory and inspection data on a structure for offline review.
  • View a PDF of the last inspection report on your device.
  • Save time with electronic data entry and use built-in validation to ensure data accuracy and reliability.
  • Use the built-in condition rating reference to guide your inspection.
  • Attach and annotate photos to keep inspection data in one place.
  • Synchronize collected data on demand when network connectivity is available, avoiding duplicate data entry.
