The Hokkaido Construction Technology Center sent a 5-member team to Northern California to study best practices and trends in the seismic retrofitting of large-scale bridges and other major public works projects.\u00a0 TVi worked closely with the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) to coordinate a technical visit focused on the seismic retrofit of the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge, it’s engineering, construction, and seismic technology.\u00a0 At almost 4.5 miles (7.18 km) in length, the Bay Bridge has one of the longest spans in the United States.<\/div><\/div>

The Hokkaido Construction Technology Center delegation was also interested in the bridge inspection system here in the U.S., including how bridge inspectors and engineers are trained, what inspection standards exist, and what specific challenges bridge maintenance challenges are faced and how they are met. TVi coordinated a technical visit with the King County Road Services Division’s Bridge and Structural Design Unit to provide a detailed overview of bridge inspection procedures, protocols, and standards.<\/div><\/div>
