Authorities world-wide consider the maintenance and rehabilitation of their huge infrastructure investments an increasingly important factor. The objective is to keep facilities operational at a safe service level while keeping the total costs of construction, maintenance and operation at a minimum.
Management
Maintenance is necessary to protect infrastructure investments. The optimum maintenance level can be obtained by using an efficient maintenance system. Grontmij | Carl Bro has developed CABRIM, an easy-to-use, menu-controlled database application for bridge management. The programme records all relevant data, including condition and cost of proposed repairs. Based on this and the allocated budget the optimum repair strategy can be found.
Strengthening and WideningAll over the world loading codes need updating to cope with the ever increasing number, gross weight and axle load vehicles. For this purpose the strength of existing structures will have to be carefully assessed. The results will undoubtedly show that many bridges and tunnels require strengthening and widening. Grontmij | Carl Bro has gained considerable expertise regarding the rehabilitation and upgrading of bridges and tunnels in Denmark and abroad.
