Starting in early 2025, Nebraska will begin using the Specifications of National Bridge Inventory (SNBI). Inspectors are highly encouraged to participate in this one-day training on scour.
This course is an abbreviated version of the NHI 135046 Stream Stability and Scours at Highway Bridges course specifically focused on the needs of inspectors.
The course provides an understanding of and assistance in detecting hydraulic-related problems at highway bridges. The effects of steam instability, scour, erosion, and stream aggradation and degradation are covered. Countermeasures to these problems are discussed. This course concentrates on visual keys to detecting scour and stream instability problems and provides an introduction to portable scour monitoring instrumentation. The course emphasizes inspection guidelines to complete the hydraulic and scour-related coding requirements of the National Bridge Inspection Standards (NBIS).
There are two opportunities to take this class:
- Oct. 30th
- Nov. 6th
