For this project, SRI was responsible for locating clear areas for the placement of 1200+ anchors. These anchors would hold an electrical conduit rack system that will span the entire length of the bridge. The installation of a leak detection system throughout the bridges pontoons required us to climb, ladders and  equipment, in and out of every pontoon cell for over 850 cores throughout the length of the bridge.  SRI utilized the latest in RADAR technology to locate the rebar mats on the underside of the bridge and structurally important rods in the walls of the bridge.

 

 

 

 

SRI was able to provide the documentation for every location,  an important element in helping hasten the speed of the project. All locations needed to be submitted to the general for verification to core.

With over 850 cores throughout the length of the bridge, radar, with its speed and mobility, was an important key to the job.

SRI was also involved in the repair and replacement of columns on a transported section of the hood canal bridge. Rebar was damaged in the removing of the existing column; thus they called us in to find them doweling locations that were clear of all post-tension cables and large reinforcing steel.

Our goal is to provide areas for our customers to safely core, through clear communication.
