Structural Steel Bridge Inspection Services
Ensure the Soundness of the Bridges You Build
A bridge is only as safe and dependable as the material it is made of. To help you ensure the soundness of your bridges, TÜV Rheinland has trained and knowledgeable personnel certified to perform steel and pre-stressed fabrication and field erection inspections and to support you in bridge rehabilitation projects.
With experience in all types of structural steel and pre-stressed concrete structures, our depth of experience in non-destructive testing (NDT) sets us apart from the competition. We ensure that your specifications are met by providing inspectors, technical support, electronic documentation and report distribution with on-site computers, and any necessary equipment. And our mechanical laboratory supports projects when material testing is required.
