Bridge Inspection and Structural Integrity Assessment

Client: A government agency responsible for infrastructure maintenance

Challenge: The client needed to inspect a network of aging bridges for structural integrity and safety concerns. Traditional inspection methods were dangerous, costly, and often required road closures, causing traffic disruptions.

Solution: Clame used drones equipped with high-definition cameras and LiDAR technology to conduct detailed visual inspections of the bridges without the need for scaffolding or road closures. The drone-captured data was analyzed to detect cracks, corrosion, and structural defects, and presented as 3D models and digital reports for engineers to evaluate.

Results:

• Inspection time was reduced by 50%, allowing the agency to cover more bridges in less time.
• Inspection costs were reduced by 40% by eliminating the need for heavy equipment and manual labor.
• Potential critical structural issues were identified early, preventing future costly repairs and ensuring public safety without traffic disruptions.
