Bridge asset management

Roughan & O'Donovan ensures real value is extracted from bridge assets across the entire life-cycle by:

• Reducing premature replacement of existing bridges
• Optimising maintenance expenditure
• Improving asset reliability and availability
• Extending the service life of assets

Our knowledge of loading and resistance enables us to make an accurate assessment of whether a bridge is safe to remain in service, without the requirement for expensive repair or replacement strategies.

Core areas of expertise include:

• Risk based asset management
• Structural health monitoring
• Traffic load modelling
• Weigh in motion
• Data analysis

• Reliability analysis
• Whole-life optimised management
• Probabilistic load modelling
• Structural modelling
• Vehicle-bridge dynamic interaction
• Simulations of traffic loading on bridges
• Fatigue life assessment
