OLD MAJOR NH BRIDGES WILL GET SMART SENSORS FOR EARLY WARNING ALERTS

For continuous ‘health monitoring’ of major and extra-long old bridges on NHs, highway owning agencies will now install advanced sensors for quick alert in case of abnormal behaviour so that corrective steps can be taken before any mishap.

The road transport ministry has issued a standardised tender document (RFP) for procurement of the continuous structure monitoring system for bridges which the highway owning agencies and their engineers can use to invite bids. This is significant considering that there is a dire need to monitor the behaviour of old major bridges on the country’s NH network.
