Confined Space Culvert - Concrete Inspection & Defect Survey

Confined Space Culvert - Concrete Inspection & Defect Survey

We deployed our specialist Confined Space Team on behalf of Bham City Council to deliver concrete inspections to assess the integrety to one of many culverts that run under the proposed expansion of the  A453 just outside Nottingham.

The culvert is 92 metres in length and had multiple ventilation openings but for our purposes, only two entries / exits were an option..... so we decided to split each day into access / egress to half the culvert each day.

The task entailed provision of a defect survey, concrete inspection & break out, inspection on condition of re bar after break out.

All of our works were overseen by a  City & Guilds Level 4 Confined Space Supervisor
