Inspection after the completion of the Bailey steel bridge is equally critical

Inspection after the completion of the Bailey steel bridge is equally critical, directly affecting the bridge's operational safety.

Bailey panel connection inspection: Each connecting pin and safety pin must be checked individually to ensure they are fully installed and properly positioned. At the same time, verify that bolts and nuts on the transverse connecting plates and lateral supports between each set of Bailey beams are tightened securely, ensuring the main beams form a unified structure capable of sharing loads collectively.

Bridge deck system connections: Standard-type bridge decks must be firmly connected to the Bailey beams using cleats or other reliable methods. Transverse and longitudinal beams should also be secured with diagonal bracing or similar connectors to ensure overall stability.
