Digital Scour Assessment: Automating CS 469 Screening and Prioritisation for Bridge Portfolios
- Scour remains one of the biggest risks to bridge assets, but manual, portfolio-level assessment is time-intensive. This session sets out a practical digital approach, using GIS and Python to streamline CS 469 screening and prioritisation.
- Real case studies from local authority clients, showing how AtkinsRéalis has automated Level 1 screening and built repeatable prioritisation tools to flag which structures need investigating first
- The engineering context and delivery benefits of digital workflows - faster, more consistent scour assessment at scale.
