During February 2019, SIS Ltd were commissioned by Aberdeenshire Council to undertake a Principal Inspection and Special inspection to all cast iron elements of Park Bridge in Aberdeen.

Our in-house IRATA Rope Access team were utilised to undertake the inspection of the 2 span 165 year old structure. SIS Ltd also arranged all required road closures, road space bookings and onsite welfare as part of the project.

Over the 7 day inspection, all information was collected with special attention paid to the cast iron elements and interpreted into a clear, comprehensive report with detailed photographs of each defect, advised maintenance actions, BCI forms and detailed AutoCAD drawings.

While onsite completing the inspections, the scope of works was extended by the client following the finding of severe water ingress and fungal growth to the timber deck beams. Samples were obtained and delivered to our approved UKAS laboratory for identification testing.

All works were completed safely, efficiently and to the clients satisfaction with part of the advised remedial works detailed within the report being undertaken by SIS in April 2019.
