19. CableScan™
No lane closures with
daytime inspection
Eliminates need for
boom trucks
More accurate than
traditional inspection
methods.
Safer for both the
inspector and the
public.
Uses LIDAR to
measure length and
width of cracks.
Double blind study of an
inspection of 84 cables
found 1 issue with
traditional method. IPC’s
QC of 9 cables found 12
issues.
Recorded video file
for future
comparisons.

Future inspections allow the asset manager to track
crack progression over time
Double blind study of 2 bridges in Nevada where the
engineering firm showed no cracks on 1 bridge and
none on another
IPC located 7 cracks on one and 6 cracks on the other
Manual methods cannot compete with laser technology

38. Cable Stay Inspection
Skyway Bridge
PROJECT
Robotic Visual Inspection of Bridge Cable Stays
CLIENT
DBI Services
IPC ROLE
QC inspection of 9 Cable Stays following Traditional Inspection
Problem Solved
Identified surface condition anomalies that could not be detected from ground
based visual method.
39. Post Tension Tendon Assessment
Wando River Bridge
PROJECT
Tendon condition assessment
CLIENT
HDR Engineering
IPC ROLE
Condition assessment of Tendon to determine extent of corrosion due to age
of bridge
Problem Solved
Loose and failed tendons led to concern of condition of tendon system.
IPC solution included magnetic flux in lieu of ECT, which produced misleading
results. MF result led to fewer invasive examinations from open tendon
