Physical Infrastructure Survey — Inspection

Periodic inspection and inspection of structures, integrated into the field pass.

Routine visual inspection, special inspection of bridges and structures and retroreflectivity measurement — to standard, with a georeferenced photographic record and no mobilisation beyond the continuous survey.

When to engage

Mandatory periodic inspection

The regulatory agencies require routine and special inspections.

Structural risk in bridges

Bridges and structures require a special inspection under DNIT 010/2004 — the basis for prioritising recovery works.

Signage at night in doubt

Retroreflectivity is a recurring item in contractual supervision. We measure reflectivity safely, without disrupting traffic.

Sub-services — Inspection

Frequently asked questions

No. The continuous inspection is integrated into the CVS pass — with no extra mobilisation. The special inspection of structures is scheduled according to the standard.

The special inspection of bridges and structures follows DNIT 010/2004, with a georeferenced photographic record of defects.

The retroreflectivity of horizontal and vertical signage is measured with a calibrated retroreflectometer, by section and signage type, in accordance with NBR 14723.

The report is technical and independent, with a georeferenced record — used in designs, licences, expert assessments and financing processes.

The condition classification by section and element orders the interventions — the technical basis for the maintenance and recovery programme.
