Inspection Programme<br />
Sub Programmes<br />
When new bridges, Ihe inspection plan is equal to the Acceptance<br />
Inspection. Practical experience shows however, that in most<br />
cases, the inspection plan is being carried out after th~ handingower<br />
process, and then based on the report from the acceptance<br />
inspection .. However, the Acceptance Inspection shall nevertheless<br />
be planned fo r in the inspection plan and the results recorded.<br />
For existing bridges, the Major Inspection shall be the: basis <strong>for</strong><br />
establishing the inspection plan if the latter do not ex ist. In the<br />
case where the inspection plan is unsatisfactory fi lled in, the data<br />
from the Major Inspection can be used as supplement or as amendment.<br />
3.3 Inspection Programme<br />
An inspection programme is a listing of all bridges decided <strong>for</strong><br />
inspection in a specific yea r. The Inspection Programme contains<br />
also measurements, material investigations, levell ing ~tc. that shall<br />
be carried out during the schedul ed inspections <strong>for</strong> each bridge.<br />
The in spection programme shall provide an overview to the<br />
<strong>Bridge</strong> Engineer and his superiors on whi ch bridges ar e to be<br />
inspected in a current year.<br />
The Inspection Programme can be split into sub-inspe::clion programmes<br />
grouped by different inspection types, road number,<br />
bridge types, districts etc._The status of bridge inspec1ion <strong>for</strong> each<br />
bridge is visualised in the programme by means of di fferent background<br />
- colours in the column <strong>for</strong> the current inspecti...on year like:<br />
White: You are free to fi ll in the inspection type and. year you<br />
wanl.<br />
Orange: The bridge is currently under inspection, me aning that<br />
the inspection <strong>for</strong>m has been printed out <strong>for</strong> the bridge.<br />
Green: The inspection has been completed as planned and data<br />
entered.<br />

Inspection Forms<br />
3.4 Inspection Forms<br />
Based on the decisions made in the inspection programme <strong>for</strong> the<br />
bridges in question, the programme prints out individual inspection<br />
fonns <strong>for</strong> each bridge fo r the selected inspection type.<br />
When printing out inspection <strong>for</strong>ms <strong>for</strong> each bridge, there is a possibility<br />
of selection of transferring previous inspection data to be<br />
included in the present inspection <strong>for</strong>m or not.
