A system of bridge inspection and data management in developing countries

This paper describes a system of bridge inspection designed to assist a District Engineer, who may not be a bridge specialist but nevertheless has a number of structures in his charge. This situation has been shown to exist in developing and industrialised countries. Overseas Road Note 7, Volumes 1 and 2 (1988) describe the system and give guidance on the management of bridge inspection procedures, reports and other bridge data in the forms of the bridge inventory and drawings. The main features of this publication are: i. A manual for the engineer in charge, ii. An instruction and reference book for technician inspectors and, iii. A comprehensive check-list to be used as the inspection report form. The system was given field trials in several countries before publication, the most extensive being in Malaysia with the co-operation of Jabatan Kerja Raya. (A)
