Free Documentary - Engineering - Mega Bridge Repair: The Challenges of Bridge Maintenance 26032023

Bridges are engineering challenges exposed to the elements (wind, rain, seawater...) that damage these massive constructions. Intensive road traffic is also a factor of additional constraints. A crack, even a microscopic one, or a rust point in the wrong place can have serious consequences. To avoid the worst, bridges are subject to permanent controls and non-standard repairs using advanced techniques. Maintenance specialists perform daily tasks that are not well known to the public
