Bridge Engineer
CurrentWork as a Bridge Engineer, inspection of bridge structures for NYSDOT and TBTA. Inspection includes several types of bridges local single span bridges, multi-span viaducts and ramps, and suspension bridges. Inspection of fracture critical and non-redundant steel members which required 100% hands on inspection. I created field condition sketches, wrote field notes and took photographs which I then used to create a report for each bridge using the State's bridge inspection computer program "BIPPI". Identified "flagged" conditions and created Flagged Bridge Reports. Also verified field conditions according to the as-built plans and changed the bridge inventory as required. Review and update database entry for bridge elements for TBTA, along with inventory and load rating updates.In addition, evaluating any deteriorated conditions I observed, and determining the severity or any possible dangers using sound engineering judgement and reporting my findings to senior engineers in my company and the client Assist in creating written reports and condition drawings for each bridge inspected for review before they are forward to clients.
