As the prime consultant under a five-year agreement with PennDOT District 6-0, TPD completed the routine inspections of 208 State-owned bridges with spans less than or equal to 20 feet in Montgomery County. The bridge types included precast box culverts, slab bridges, concrete T-beam bridges, concrete encased steel I-beam bridges, steel stringer bridges, corrugated metal pipes and pipe culverts, and stone masonry arches. Work was performed in accordance with PennDOT procedures utilizing PennDOT iForms for data collection and upload to PennDOT’s BMS2 database.

Sixteen (16) of the bridges are Permit Required Confined Spaces and required special safety precautions such as gas monitoring equipment to inspect the structures.
