Bridge deck preservation is a critical part of any asset management program but it comes with challenges like traffic disruption, complex data collection, and evolving reporting requirements. BDI addresses these with a comprehensive suite of Nondestructive Evaluation (NDE) techniques that provide vital information to bridge owners such as location and extents of defects and underlying deterioration mechanisms, while minimizing impact to the traveling public. Whether supporting planned maintenance, emergency response, or compliance with DOT mandates, BDI delivers timely, actionable insights. With over 100 million square feet inspected for 24 state DOTs, we bring proven expertise, scalable solutions, and trusted project management to every bridge deck evaluation.

What Can We Do?

Our post-processing workflows transform complex datasets into actionable insights, technical reports, CAD-based feature maps, deterioration statistics, and tailored repair recommendations, all aligned with local municipality or DOT mandates. BDI strives to find the best means and methods for communicating our work, results, and insights to bridge owners, we develop reports containing content and materials such as:

  • Deliverable

Actionable Charts Diagrams

Aggregate Statistics and Tables

Engineering Consulting

BDI leverages its engineering expertise and knowledge of preservation and industry standards to develop charts and diagrams that offer fast and effective communication of results to support decision making.

BDI’s analysis uses aggregate stats and summary tables to highlight key insights of your structure. Quick, clear, and actionable insights that drive smarter decisions.

BDI integrates its NDE results directly into project workflows by developing custom CAD overlays or working with client-provided CAD files. To support asset owners, engineers, and maintenance teams, BDI also provides GPS-encoded feature maps when possible—helping visualize and locate areas of concern across structures and facilities.

BDI will work with your team to identify repair recommendations that will address the underlying cause of deterioration and effectively prolong the service life of your bridge deck.
