Best Practices Guide for Identifying Potential Threats to Bridges (BPG Bridges)
The Technical Support Working Group has developed the Best Practices Guide for Identifying Potential Threats to Bridges for use by bridge owners, managers, engineers, and operational staff for assessing the vulnerability of their particular structures to attack. The BPG Bridges is a 74 page guide that focuses on identifying vulnerabilities of different bridge types. The BPG Bridges is printed on waterproof paper, spiral bound, and suitable for operational use in the maritime environment.
The BPG Bridges is a restricted document available only to military and federal, state, and local governments and bridge owners and operators. It is not for public release and must be protected from release to unauthorized personnel. Contractors providing security services to these agencies may also procure the document with the approval of their government sponsor or bridge owner or authority. All orders must first be confirmed by the Technical Support Working Group (TSWG) prior to being sent to the Government Printing Office (GPO).
