Inspection Coding Guide
The CDOT Structure Inspection Coding Guides supplements the National Bridge Inspection Standards (NBIS), FHWA Specifications for the National Bridge Inventory (SNBI) and applicable AASHTO bridge inspection guidance by providing clarifying information, coding direction, and policies specific to Colorado bridges, culverts, and other highway structures. Where conflicts occur between this guide and governing federal requirements, the SNBI and applicable federal regulations govern. CDOT uses the Structure Inspection and Management System Application (SIMSA) to support structure inventory, inspection, condition assessment, and data management activities. SIMSA serves as CDOT’s primary system for documenting structure inspection information and maintaining data used to meet state and federal reporting requirements. The Colorado Structure Inspection Coding Guides are intended to promote consistency, accuracy, and completeness in the collection and coding of structure inventory and inspection data. The specifications and procedures contained in these guides supplement and further define the requirements of the NBIS, SNBI, applicable AASHTO inspection guidance, and CDOT policies and procedures. The guide also provides Colorado-specific instructions for recording inventory information, inspection findings, condition data, and other information within SIMSA to support CDOT’s structure inspection and asset management programs.
