To summarize the first article (see On the flyover, February 2010), citing a study done in 1977 as motivation, development work began in 1995 on a thermal infrared (IR) system to surpass the existing bridge nondestructive evaluation technology of that day. That 1995 technology effort has now been newly configured as a commercial bridge inspection tool by building on both recent developments in IR technology and the expansion of proprietary supporting software tools.

Promising walk-on

The emotional send-off was all one needed to see to fully understand the deep connection between a town and its 80-year-old bridge.

On Sept. 20, Norridgewock, Maine—a town of roughly 3,300 people located along a bend in the Kennebec River, some 90 miles northwest of Portland—bid farewell to the Norridgewock Bridge. In an event dubbed “The Last Walk Across the Bridge,” a parade of locals strolled across the concrete structure: everyone from bagpipers and folks driving antique automobiles to student musicians and veterans.

Citizens in the Louisville metropolitan area have a virtual bird’s-eye view of road plans for the Louisville-Southern Indiana Ohio River Bridges Project. The megaproject, currently the third-largest federally funded transportation project in the country, has taken unprecedented steps to communicate project road and right-of-way plans to the public with the unique merger of engineering design and Google mapping technology.

Alphabet Soup

The mission of the Indiana Department of Transportation (InDOT) is to “plan, build, maintain and operate a superior transportation system enhancing safety, mobility and economic growth.” In an effort to improve the safety and mobility of the traveling public during snow and ice events, InDOT has added several technologies to the maintenance supervisor’s toolbox.

These technologies include an alphabet soup of acronyms like MDSS, AVL, RWIS and MDC. The tools are useful when used independently, but the real power of these tools is realized when they are combined.

Element education

Owners and engineers have started using structural monitoring technology as a means to provide precise, objective and timely information to improve the management of bridges and other civil structures.

However, there are other powerful, commercially available analytical tools, when coupled with structural monitoring, that will fundamentally change the practice of structural engineering and long-term bridge management.

Without fanfare or ceremony, there is a great and profound change beginning to take form in the concrete pavement industry. It is not by accident or coincidence that these things are occurring, but instead, the result of great foresight, planning and execution.

What is this profound change? It is the development and implementation of software programs (See Soft spoken, p 24) and other resources that offer a significantly higher degree of standardization in pavement design and construction.

Soft Spoken

Three software programs are among the resources that are having some profound changes on concrete pavement design. Along with other resources currently being developed, these programs hold great promise for optimizing pavement design and returning greater value to all stakeholders, including the traveling and taxpaying public.

1 Less problem to Deal With

Many water and wastewater operators have implemented private wireless telemetry supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems to monitor and control their pumps, valves and lift stations.

They believed the high level of performance and reliability required dictated that they “roll their own,” and not depend on other services. In 2004, several communities in Hurricane Charley’s path found out that cellular-based data transmission not only is up to the task but also outperforms traditional methods and costs less.
