9. RECOMMENDED ACTIVITIES TO BE COVERED ON ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

All work is to be carried out in accordance with the Routine Maintenance Manual for bridge unless instructed otherwise, in writing, by the Engineer.

The items of routine maintenance work described in this guideline should be regarded as those which relate to bridge servicing rather than bridge repair.

Routine maintenance does not cover the renewal of structural elements or components that have become unserviceable because of general wear and tear or have deteriorated for other reasons.

During the routine maintenance operation, Maintaining Division’s staff should carry out a superficial inspection and anything noticed of a serious nature should be reported immediately. A sample superficial inspection report form and notes on the form are given in the Routine Maintenance Manual.

A Routine Maintenance Schedule is completed for each bridge by the Division. A sample of this form and notes on the form are given in the Guidelines for Routine Maintenance of Bridges.

The Routine Maintenance task are given in detail in Part 3: Routine Maintenance Bridges
