Bridges and critical infrastructure assets such as culverts, tunnels, and viaducts are often constructed using a range of reinforced concrete techniques, including cast in-situ, precast, prestressed, and post-tensioned systems. Over time, these structures are vulnerable to deterioration caused by corrosion, environmental exposure, increased loading, and ageing materials, all of which can compromise safety and performance.
At The Concrete Consultancy 2000 Ltd, we specialise in the inspection, testing, and analysis of bridge and infrastructure assets to help asset owners make informed decisions. Early identification of deterioration is essential to avoid costly and potentially dangerous failures, and many bridge inspections are required by law to ensure public safety.
Our team uses advanced non-destructive and intrusive testing to assess surface damage, reinforcement corrosion, and chloride ingress (often caused by de-icing salts). We also evaluate load-bearing capacity where increased traffic or vehicle weight may exceed original design limits.
Where needed, we provide tailored repair specifications and corrosion control strategies to prevent issues such as incipient anode reaction, ensuring repairs are both durable and compliant.
Whether you manage highway bridges, pedestrian walkways, culverts, or infrastructure spanning decades, we’re here to help you safeguard their future.
