The UK is divided into numbered
areas, each
covering large sections of the country's highway
network. All trunk road structures
within these areas are entered into a rolling safety inspection
program as part of a management contract. RSI Ltd specialises
in bridge inspections and, as such, currently carries out
all
the inspections within Area 9, covering the whole
of
Birmingham , plus up to approximately 65 miles of
the surrounding
area. This includes towns and cities
such as Shrewsbury
, Worcester , Hereford and
Ross-on-Wye.
Within this extensive region are a multitude of structures,
varying from masonry arch river bridges
in the more remote
areas, to multi-span structures
such as viaducts supporting
Birminghams busy
motorway network. (The Midland Links)
Following completion of an inspection, RSI
inspection
staff input condition reports directly
onto the Highways
Agency Structures Management Information System (SMIS).
This includes recommended maintenance actions, which often
lead to subsequent non-destructive testing which RSI Ltd
also
specialise in.
