Bridge Evaluation Quality Assurance in Europe

FHWA-PL-08-016

The results of this Scan are intended to assist bridge owners and the FHWA in implementing provisions of the 2005 NBIS regulation. Although many QC/QA programs exist within the U.S., there was significant interest in exploring the most effective bridge inspection systems in other countries. FHWA is also obligated to satisfy the guidelines provided through the Data Quality Act passed by the U.S. Congress in 2001. The data that is collected through the U.S. bridge inspection program not only ensure that our bridges are safe for the traveling public but, also help form the basis for programming bridge maintenance, repair, rehabilitation, and replacement activities

The report will be available in March 2008
