Marine Solutions performed an underwater inspection of the Woodrow Wilson Memorial Bridge. The inspection team consisted of an OSHA regulated 3-person dive crew experienced in underwater inspection including a registered Professional Engineer, all employees of Marine Solutions. A Level I (Visual/Tactile) Inspection was performed on all portions of the substructure, from the high water line to the bottom of the channel; and a Level II Inspection (detailed inspection with partial cleaning) was performed on 25% of the submerged structural elements. Piers V1 and M1 through M10 were in the water at the time of the inspection. All submerged elements were visually inspected, with tactile examinations as required to obtain structural data. The underwater visibility during the inspection was approximately one foot.
