DBTS

The bridge DBTS system was initiated in late 80’s and first applied to a large contract testing 120 bridges for Davy British rail for a UK funded up-grade of 150kms of railway line between Jakarta and Merak, the gate-way to Sumatra in Indonesia.

After this initial success we embarked on a joint study with Vic roads and others which led to the DBTS paper ”DYNAMIC BRIDGE TESTING SYSTEM (DBTS) FOR THE EVALUATION OF DEFECTS & LOAD CARRYING CAPACITY OF IN-SERVICE BRIDGES".

This was presented to a MICE conference in Singapore and is still the leading paper on our DBTS system for the testing of bridges.
