Over the last ten years, we have conducted more than a thousand annual and general inspections of bridges, more than 80 special inspections of bridges, more than one hundred general, diving or special inspections of pier structures and condition inspections of a number of special structures such as water towers, jumping hills, etc. Dozens of versatile and demanding repair design projects have been implemented, most of our repair design projects have been our own research projects. The need to repair infrastructure is growing In Finland, the volume of infrastructure construction has been strongest in the 1960s and 1970s. Many of the bridge, pier and water tower structures of this era are now in the renovation age. It is very important that the correction appropriations are managed correctly. Safety is a priority. Financial savings can be achieved with expert timing of remedial action. Unnecessary repairs should be avoided. Often, well-designed and implemented structural repairs improve the safety, functionality, service life, and appearance of an object. The maintenance and repair of bridge and skill structures requires personnel who specialize in these tasks At Vahanen, persons who have completed the Finnish Transport Agency's bridge inspector's degree are responsible for inspecting bridges and piers. The main inspectors of the special inspections are experienced repair designers of bridges and platforms, who are qualified as a condition researcher of the A-level class of concrete bridges. The repair design of bridges and piers is always the responsibility of experienced bridge repair designers who are qualified as A-class repair designers for concrete bridges. Thorough knowledge of the site is central to renovation planning. In order to guarantee the best knowledge of the site, we strive to use the person who performed the special inspection of the site as a repair planner. We use our own research equipment for inspections - this way the service is flexible and the condition and calibration of the research equipment can be verified in the best possible way. The research samples are analyzed in Vahanen's own building materials laboratory, which enhances the flow of information between the researcher-designer and the sample analyzer. In all our projects, we pay attention to occupational safety. All our employees participating in bridge inspections are Tieturva 1-trained, the persons responsible for inspection work are Tieturva 2-trained and the persons participating in railway bridge inspections are track and platform safety trained.
