Early In Inspection Procedures Trust Agreement "The MDTA covenants that it will cause independent engineers or engineering firms or corporations having a nationwide and favorable reputation for skill and experience in such work to make an inspection of the Transportation Facilities Projects periodically in accordance with industry standards (but at least annually), to submit to the MDTA a report or reports setting forth their findings as to whether the Transportation Facilities Projects have been maintained in good repair, working order and condition. Promptly after the receipt of such reports by the MDTA, copies thereof shall be filed with the Trustee and made available upon request for review to the owner of any Bond issued hereunder." 2012 MdQI Conference Quality Transportation- A Hybrid Approach

Early In Inspection Procedures Maintenance Level of Inspections – Visual inspections for defects performed annually – SI&A submitted annually Catastrophic Inspections – Performed every 5 years • Met NBI standard for Fracture Critical Members Underwater Inspections – Performed every 5 years • Met NBI standard for Underwater Inspections 2012 MdQI Conference Quality Transportation- A Hybrid Approach

Early In Inspection Procedures Defect Oriented Documentation – Notes only indicated what was wrong – Assumed that if it was not noted, it was inspected and found acceptable 2012 MdQI Conference Quality Transportation- A Hybrid Approach

Early In Inspection Procedures • Compiled in volumes by facility. • Some electronic information saved on network. 2012 MdQI Conference Quality Transportation- A Hybrid Approach

Evaluation of th the Syste tem MDTA Discussed New Direction and Improvements to Program. – Considered comparable owners’ procedures. – Participated in peer reviews. – Need to be Condition Based verses Defect Based. – Need to have “stand alone” inspection reports. – Need to contain greater detail and be more descriptive. – Opportunity to automate the documentation. – Opportunity to directly link findings with repairs. 2012 MdQI Conference Quality Transportation- A Hybrid Approach

Evaluation of th the Syste tem Results: Key Outcomes – Increase funding for inspections to obtain the desired Hands On Inspection in lieu of a Maintenance Inspection. – Establish defined inspection procedures and reporting. • Span by span reporting; not just overall bridge – Develop an Inspection Manual to document procedures and promote consistency. – Develop a Data Management System to record and manipulate findings data. • Have the ability to track defects from original finding to repair and to verified completion. – Get priority findings addressed rapidly. 2012 MdQI Conference Quality Transportation- A Hybrid Approach

In Inspection Procedures Inspection Procedures: Funding Inspection contracts increased in number and size 2000: 2- $3 million contracts for 5 years* 2004: 2- $5 million contracts for 5 years* 2008: 3- $8 million contracts for 4 years** 2010: 3- $15 million contracts for 4 years** Funding no longer driving the program. * M.O.T. provided by MDTA ** M.O.T. provided by Consultants 2012 MdQI Conference Quality Transportation- A Hybrid Approach

In Inspection Procedures Inspection Strategic Action Plan 2012 MdQI Conference Quality Transportation- A Hybrid Approach

In Inspection Procedures Defined Inspection Types and Procedures – Biennial • Hands-on technique • Railroad spans on 6 year cycle for hands-on – Interim • Visual technique • Hands-on technique where needed. For spans less than 40 feet above the ground or water surface , inspection of the superstructure and elevated substructure shall occur from a boat or from the ground. For spans greater than 40 feet above the ground or water surface , the inspectors shall perform a visual inspection of a minimum of 20% of the elements in the span. Access may be gained using catwalks or access equipment.” 2012 MdQI Conference Quality Transportation- A Hybrid Approach

In Inspection Procedures Defined Inspection Report – Biennial • Full stand alone document including plans, condition ratings, condition notes and recommended repairs • Typically 40 to 80 pages for a workhorse structure. For signature structures, can be up to 1500 pages. – Interim • Viewed as a supplement or follow-up to the previous biennial inspection report. • Can be as small as 4 pages for a workhorse bridge 2012 MdQI Conference Quality Transportation- A Hybrid Approach

In Inspection Manual • Reviewed inspection manuals from numerous other agencies. • Consultants responsible for individual portions and cross checked. • Organization of the Manual: – Chapter 1 – Introduction (General Information) – Chapter 2 – Inspection Documentation – Chapter 3 – SI&A Data – Chapter 4 – Condition Ratings (Items 58-62, 113) – Chapter 5 – Recommendations for Action/Repair – Chapter 6 – Element Ratings (6A, 6B, 6C, 6D, 6E, 6F) – Chapter 7 – Culvert Inspections – Chapter 8 – Highway and Traffic Safety Features – Chapter 9 – Sign Structures and Lighting – Chapter 10 – Tunnel Inspection – Chapter 11 – QA/QC – Appendices 2012 MdQI Conference Quality Transportation- A Hybrid Approach
