Reporting Bridge Precursor Events and Element Failures - a Joint Approach
- Pre-cursor events are vital in preventing structural failures.
- Unlike practice elsewhere in the world, the construction, management and operation of transport structures (excluding rail) is not regulated or subject to independent forensic investigation should a structure partially or catastrophically fail without loss of life.
- The CROSS confidential reporting system has expanded to include confidential reports of pre-cursor and failure events in bridges and other transport structural assets, in all transportation fields.
- The presentation sets out the context why reporting is needed, what CROSS does then outlines the initiative and how engineers and managers can report issues confidentially.
