BridgeInspect^TM Collector Benefits
Save Time, Improve Accuracy, and store everything electronically!  

Ø      Easily incorporate digital images: Pictures are powerful forms of documentation.   With BridgeInspect^TM you can easily place digital pictures directly into the inspection report for one-click submission.

Ø      Integrated BMS Coding Manual:  Carry a BMS coding manual with you?   No need any more.   With BridgeInspect^TM the coding manual is fully digitized and integrated.  Click on any inspection field and instantly be able to go to the relevant BMS coding page!

Ø      Show options for each field:  Tired of blank fields and having to look up what the exact coding values are?   With BridgeInspect^TM each field allows you to select from that field’s possible values as well as providing explanations.

Ø      Load in past values:  Save time completing forms and see where past problems might exist.   Load in the past values from old inspection reports.   See what past bridge inspectors observed and notes they made.    Additionally, save time by having constant fields already completed.

Ø      Submit report with the click of a button:  Once you are done with the report click submit and send it off to the BridgeInspect^TM Manager server.   If your bridge owner wants a hard copy simply hook your computer to a printer and use the print module to generate a nicely formatted report.

Ø      Add in hand sketches:  Want to make sketches of bridge components or calculations on paper?  BridgeInspect^TM allows you to load this information directly into the computerized inspection report by simply running the paper through a portable, light-weight scanner.

Ø      Runs on Tablet PC or Laptop: Use a lightweight tablet PC or laptop to quickly enter in data onsite.   Don’t worry about having to wait on typing notes or memos until back in the office.

Ø      Error checking:  Forget to complete a required field?   BridgeInspect^TM can warn you of any incomplete fields before you submit the report.
