Inspection of Cable-Stayed Structures: Main Challenges, Specialized Techniques and Available Solutions
Cable-stayed bridges are complex structures that require specialized, thorough inspections to ensure user safety and extend their lifespan. Over time, critical components like stay cables, anchorages, and transition zones can start to deteriorate, potentially causing serious damage if not properly identified and addressed. Early detection and timely intervention are crucial to prevent costly repairs and maintain public safety.
In this webinar, we will dive into the key challenges of inspecting cable-stayed bridges. What makes cable-stayed bridge inspections unique? How can we pinpoint damage hotspots and understand the root causes of deterioration? Which advanced inspection tools are most effective for these structures?
We will explore how digital solutions and data management are streamlining inspection processes, enabling real-time reporting and more informed maintenance decisions.
