STRUCTURAL
MONITORING SAVES THE
KANSAS DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION $2,000,000
| The riveted
plate girder bridge on US 24 was constructed in Pottawatomie County, Kansas, in 1947. A visual inspection indicated the deck and bridge railing should be replaced. Structural Integrity Systems, LLC, monitored the structure to determine if the condition of the steel girders warranted the replacement of the bridge. The data gathered indicated that the structure was a candidate for rehabilitation. Replacing the deck and widening it to 13.4 meters will save the Kansas Department of Transportation close to $2,000,000 over the cost of an entirely new bridge. |
 |
The monitoring of the bridge took place over an
eight hour period. The picture below and to the left shows the
On-Board computer, radios and back-up power supply for the
temporary monitoring.
The photo on the right shows the structural engineers from
Structural Integrity Systems, LLC, remotely downloading the real
time data via radio.
