BridgeStation Mobile Inspections - Introduction and System Requirements


The BridgeStation Mobile Inspections App is available for all existing BridgeStation subscribers on Android and iOS.

The BridgeStation Mobile Inspections App is an onsite data collection tool for the users of  BridgeStation (Advanced Bridge Management System). It is designed to enable inspectors to collect and record element level structure inspection data using phones and tablets.

Previously inspection data was collected on Excel-based inspection forms, or paper-based proforma, then transcribed onto the inspection form later. This app improves efficiency and data quality by reducing the time spent in the field, and writing-up reports.

There are also a number of inspection friendly features;

Key features:

- Offline mode - complete an inspection without a data connection
- View on Map - confirm the structure location, and use the device mapping app for navigation
- Previous inspection data - condition and photographs included for review
- Defect Code Picker - faster identification of codes and descriptions
- Use the device camera - quickly take defect photos and attach them to individual defects
- Upload inspection data to BridgeStation for final review and submission
