Surveys & Inspections

Spencer Bridge Engineering have a strong track record in delivering asset inspections for bridges and structures across the UK to ensure mandatory requirements are met, such as those described within the DMRB CS450 – Inspections of Highway Structures. Our Chartered Civil, Structural and Mechanical Engineers deliver the inspections, supported by our teams of roped access inspectors, ensuring a compliant inspection is undertaken safely. If specialist access is required over and above traditional roped access means, our access systems can be deployed to enable more detailed examinations to be undertaken, including any subsequent repair works.

We have delivered CS450 inspections on a number of major long span crossings and moving structures, providing detailed reports and evidencing any issues or defects found during the inspections, including making recommendations for any subsequent assessment work and any resulting repairs. Our inspection capability is not limited to those described within the various inspection standards – our engineering team can assist with any bespoke inspection requirements for unique assets, or when the client requires any form of condition reporting or structural health monitoring.

All inspections are planned and managed safely, utilising the capability of the wider construction business in accordance with statutory regulations, to the highest levels of quality and safety. Full support is provided from the project management, site delivery, planning and off-site health, safety, environmental and quality functions. Any plant and materials deliveries are coordinated upfront, including any road space bookings and possessions to suit the constraints of the project.
