INSPECTION OF LO DONG BRIDGE PIERS IN VIETNAM

Bridge piers inspection is the process of examining, evaluating, and analyzing bridge abutments to determine the technical condition, bearing capacity, and safety level of the piers. This process is usually performed by bridge and road construction engineers or construction inspection experts, to ensure that the bridge still meets safety and use requirements after a period of operation or when there are impacts such as natural disasters, heavy loads, collisions or deterioration over time. Below is a case where SVG Engineering inspected a bridge pier caused by a barge collision. We invite readers to follow:

CONTENTS OF INSPECTION OF LO DONG BRIDGE PIERS IN VIETNAM

Basic steps in bridge pier inspection:

1. Collect initial information:

   • Bridge design, construction and maintenance records.

   • Load data and usage history.

   • Reports on incidents and damage, if any.

2. Visual check:

   • Identify signs of impact such as damaged cracks, peeling, inspect concrete & bridge piers reinforcement.

   • Check the degree of tilt or deformation of the bridge piers.

3. Measurement and testing:

   • Geometry measurement: Determine the tilt, settlement or deformation of bridge piers.

   • Non-destructive testing: Using equipment for quality inspection of construction works such as ultrasonic rebar machines, rebound guns, common steel rulers, laser machines...

4. Analyze and evaluate:

   • Compare collected data with current design and safety standards.

   • Analyze current and expected loads.

   • Assess the extent of damage and propose repair or reinforcement plans (if any)

5. Make bridge pier inspection report:

   • Provide detailed inspection results.

   • Make recommendations for repairing, upgrading, or replacing bridge piers if necessary.

WHY SHOULD A BRIDGE PIERS BE INSPECTED?

-Bridge piers are the main load-bearing components of the bridge. If the pier is damaged, the entire configuration can become unstable, posing a danger to users and vehicles participating in traffic.

- Inspection helps detect and prevent potential hazards early before serious incidents occur, helping to minimize major repair costs and extend the life of the bridge.

- Bridge abutment inspection is an essential task to protect human life, maintain traffic safety, and ensure economic efficiency in infrastructure management.
