BRIDGE MANAGEMENT
Bridge Management refers to a system that monitors and maintains Bridges.
Bridge management is a systematic process of creating inventory and managing
the assets in a cost effective manner. It is a practice of managing bridges to
achieve the high returns by monitoring and maintaining them with the
objective of providing the best possible services to all its users. It aims to
achieve cost effectiveness within the life cycle of the bridges and provide
continuous and safe connectivity to its users.

IBMS-Protecting Indian
CONCEPT

Bridges

Indian Bridge Management System (IBMS) is developed to create an inventory of all

bridge assets on National Highways (NH) in India and apply a technical logic to
manage the bridge asset during its life cycle. It generates detailed inventory data
and condition ratings of bridges to ensure that the dynamics of deterioration
process are captured and this dynamism in the deterioration process guides the
inspection and rehabilitation of bridges. The system allows the user to assign
priority to maintenance activity based on the present condition of the bridge. The
progressive improvement of all bridge assets is ensured over a period of time as
worst bridges are first rehabilitated and then the less damaged bridges are
rehabilitated.
