Summary
Denver’s Highland Bridge provides pedestrians and bicyclists with a safe passage from the Highland neighborhood to downtown. However, its unique design produces unusual maintenance considerations, and the ends of the bridge rest on bearings which causes it to move more than other similarly sized bridges. Because of its dynamic nature, the team wanted more detailed, real-time insights that aren’t provided by manual inspections during regular maintenance intervals.
Join us to hear from the project team on how:
- They installed low-cost wireless sensors along the length of the bridge
- They created an immersive digital twin model of the bridge informed by real-time IoT data
- The real-time IoT data and digital twin model can provide better insights on the bridge’s behavior and structural health
- Digital twins and IoT can help to increase safety, reduce risk, improve asset management, and address potential issues before they become costly repairs
