The International Road Federation (IRF) “Bridge Management & Inspection” (BMI26) online training is a specialised two-week programme designed to provide infrastructure professionals with a comprehensive understanding of how to manage, inspect, and maintain bridge assets throughout their lifecycle.
Delivered through live, instructor-led sessions, the course covers everything from the fundamentals of bridge structures and inventory management to advanced inspection techniques, structural monitoring, and predictive maintenance strategies. Built around international standards and real-world expertise, it equips participants to identify structural issues, assess asset condition, and implement effective maintenance planning to extend the life of critical infrastructure.
Beyond technical fundamentals, the programme places strong emphasis on modern asset management practices, including optimisation of resources, data-driven decision-making, and risk-based prioritisation of interventions. Through interactive sessions, case studies, and an end-of-course assessment, participants gain practical, actionable insights tailored to highway agencies, consultants, and contractors.
With professional development hours and IRF certification on completion, the course offers a valuable pathway for engineers and asset managers looking to enhance bridge resilience, safety, and long-term performance across increasingly complex transport networks.
