What is bridge maintenance? Bridge maintenance is the process of inspecting, repairing, and/or upgrading a bridge to ensure its safety and longevity. At J & K Civil Maintenance, we have a team of highly trained and experienced professionals who are equipped to handle any type of bridge maintenance job.
There are three main types of bridge maintenance: preservation, rehabilitation, and replacement. These main types of bridge maintenance envelope our services, and we specialise in all areas of bridge maintenance for
civil maintenance projects. If you require a qualified bridge maintenance team that has over 20 years of experience, then
contact us today!
We are trained in Level 1 & 2 Bridge Inspections; we are unique as we own an under-bridge unit that we use to assist with Level 2 inspections.
Routine inspections are essential to identify any defects or potential risks. Inspections provide an opportunity to be proactive in the prevention of serious damage or defects as well as provide feedback on routine maintenance.
Reasons for Bridge Inspections:
To safeguard road users
To establish a performance history
To record the current condition of the bridge
To provide feedback on the condition of the bridge
