Independent structural condition evaluations for vehicular bridges, pedestrian crossings, culverts, and stormwater systems. Clear technical findings to plan maintenance and protect public safety.
Vehicular spans, pedestrian footbridges, and golf course crossings evaluated to NBIS defect coding standards.
Corrugated metal pipes, reinforced concrete, and box culverts inspected through full internal barrel crawls.
High-span superstructures, steep outfalls, and retention ponds documented by FAA Part 107 licensed pilots.
Targeted evaluations designed to catch hidden decay, joint displacement, scour, and structural settlement years before costly failures occur.
Understand the condition of your decks, beams, railings, abutments, and the stream beneath them, including structures outside the federal NBIS program.
Keep water moving and roads stable with a close look at box culverts, pipes, arches, headwalls, and wingwalls.
Get a complete view of the places that are hard or unsafe to reach on foot.
Bridges and culverts rarely fail without warning. Early indicators such as joint separation, piping voids along headwalls, and hairline shear cracking develop over years. Our inspections document these mechanisms early, giving owners the defensible data needed to competitively bid repairs instead of reacting to sudden washouts.
Examples of the vehicular crossings, pedestrian spans, culverts, and stormwater channels we inspect across residential communities, commercial sites, and municipal corridors.
We assess small bridges, pedestrian crossings, decks, beams, railings, abutments, bearing areas, and visible structural defects.
We inspect reinforced concrete box culverts for joint separation, cracking, spalling, settlement, scour, sediment buildup, and inlet/outlet deterioration.
FAA Part 107 drone imaging helps document hard-to-access channels, drainage paths, outfalls, erosion areas, and site-wide waterway conditions.
We review corrugated metal pipes, headwalls, wingwalls, inlet protection, outlet protection, corrosion, deformation, and drainage performance indicators.
We document visible surface distress above buried drainage structures and help identify conditions that may require further engineering review or repair planning.
Different ownership models have distinct operational, regulatory, and financial priorities. We customize each assessment to match your governance reality.
Managing private roadway bridges, corrugated metal culverts, and neighborhood trail crossings with a fiduciary duty to protect reserve funds.
Ensuring vehicular bridges and cart crossings safely support heavy fairway mowers, maintenance vehicles, and daily cart traffic.
Keeping public multi-use trail bridges, footpaths, and stormwater drainage systems safe for thousands of daily pedestrians and cyclists.
Evaluating off-system short-span bridges, roadway culverts under 20 feet, and stormwater channels outside traditional state DOT inspection cycles.
Direct answers about structure assessments, engineering deliverables, and what to expect during field work.
Culverts and bridges deteriorate from the bottom up. Scour under footings, joint separation inside pipe barrels, and hidden corrosion occur out of sight. By the time pavement sinks or cracks appear on the road surface, repairs typically cost five to ten times more than early preventive maintenance.
No. Carolina Infrastructure Assessment operates exclusively as an independent inspection firm. We do not sell repair services or partner with repair contractors. This guarantees our findings are completely objective, protecting your board from inflated repair scopes and contractor upselling.
Field assessments are led by an inspector certified under the National Bridge Inspection Standards (NBIS) and trained in FHWA defect evaluation, with specialized credentials in fracture-critical inspection and ultrasonic testing.
You will receive your complete digital report, including the executive 2-Page Report Card, high-resolution photo defect log, and prioritized maintenance matrix, within 5 business days of the on-site inspection.
Yes. We regularly perform multi-structure inventory evaluations for master-planned communities, golf resorts, and municipal public works departments. Multi-structure programs include volume pricing, coordinated scheduling, and a comparative asset condition summary.
