BridgeStation
|
|
BridgeStation is an advanced asset management system designed specifically to manage
bridges and other major highway structures. BridgeStation was developed in conjunction
with the London Bridge Engineering Group
(LoBEG) and is managed by Camden Consultancy Service. The system utilises a rich,
intuitive user interface to provide easy navigation of data, even for users with
limited computer literacy. |

Structure Details at Component Level
|
|
The system allows for structures to be recorded either with a minimum level of information,
or with full details of each physical element. The component hierarchy is displayed
in a Windows Explorer style, instantly familiar to most users. Each component comprises
data fields specific to that type, arranged in tabs to allow easy navigation. |

|
Detailed Inspection Results
|
|
The system has the ability to record the general condition of each component within
the structure, together with details of individual defects discovered. Component
conditions are aggregated and weighted by component importance to produce a Bridge
Condition Index in line with guidelines issued by the UK County Surveyors Society. |
|
|
|
A 'drag and drop' inspection scheduler allows inspections to be scheduled across
a 12 year time-frame. Forecast costs can be entered for different inspection types
or structure types which can then be aggregated to forecast total costs for an inspection
regime. |

|
|
Maintenance Prioritisation
|
|
Defects discovered during the course of inspections are added to an outstanding
list which is prioritised across the entire bridge stock. A forecast cost breakdown
is recorded against each maintenance item which is then used to calculate estimates
for works orders. Works orders are created by dragging items from a list of outstanding
work. |

|
Document Management
|
|
BridgeStation can store photographs, drawings and other electronic documents against
each structure, component, inspection or individual defect. Thumbnails of photographs
are displayed against these items to provide easy navigation. A register of non-electronic
documents can also be kept at the same level of detail. |
