National Bridge Preservation Partnership
An important step in the preservation process is to gain an understanding of the current condition of a bridge structure.   Many times, this requires a detailed inspection to determine the cause, extent and magnitude of concrete deterioration. Concrete and corrosion assessments are useful to determine what is necessary to repair the structure and if additional means are necessary to meet its forecasted service life requirements.
