This webinar covers the fundamental inspection skills required to conduct a visual coating condition assessment of an in-service steel bridge. The presentation will cover a range of factors that can affect the coating's condition. It will also present a reporting and rating system that coincides with the AASHTOWare BrM system, enabling the owner to make an educated decision on how to repair damaged and deteriorated coating.
