Session now open in Rosedale, MD:
130091 Underwater Bridge Inspection
September 22-25, 2015
Local Coordinator: Dannette Hudson (443) 484-2394

Marine Solutions to Host Underwater Bridge Inspection Course September 22-25, 2015 at their Rosedale, Maryland office location. 

Dive into Underwater Bridge Inspection Training! The latest changes to the National Bridge Inspection Standards (NBIS), which became effective January 13, 2005, require FHWA-approved bridge inspection training for all divers conducting underwater inspections. 

One method of meeting this requirement is the completion of an FHWA-approved underwater diver bridge inspection training course. Satisfactory completion of this 4-day course will fulfill the NBIS requirement. This course provides an overview of diving operations that will be useful to agency personnel responsible for managing underwater bridge inspections.


Course topics include: methods of underwater inspection, underwater material deterioration mechanisms and inspection techniques, scour inspection techniques, underwater element-level rating, and underwater bridge inspection training. A final examination based on course content will be administered to participants.

Outcomes: Specifically, upon completion of the course, participants should be able to:
  • Explain the need and benefits of inspecting the underwater portions of bridge structures.
  • Describe typical underwater defects and deterioration, and identify conditions contributing to rates of deterioration.
  • Identify the types of inspection equipment available, and the advantages and limitations of each.
  • Identify procedures for planning and performing thorough and safe underwater bridge inspections.
  • Assign component and element level condition ratings for underwater components in accordance with NBIS and agency requirements.

Is this course right for you?


Target Audience: The course is intended for trained divers who require a knowledge base of underwater bridge inspection and evaluation techniques in order to meet the educational requirements of the NBIS for underwater bridge inspection training. The course would also be of interest to non-diver bridge inspectors, and FHWA, state, and local agency structural engineers.

I am a certified commercial diver currently working in the Gulf of Mexico working for the oil and gas industry. I am interested in attending this training program and possibly performing some bridge inspections but I'm not sure if I have all of the proper education. For instance; would I need to obtain an engineering degree to work in this field and will my ADC diving certification be acceptable to perform the work? Sorry for such a long comment, any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Rickey -

Thank you for your interest in the course! We are only hosting the class, but NHI will be teaching it. This is a certification that many state and federal agencies require for divers to perform bridge inspections. Often, employers will pay for employees to have this course but if you are looking to get a job with an employer doing this type of work then the certification could help you.

Feel free to contact NHI at nhicustomerservice@dot.gov or (877) 558-6873 and they would be happy to answer any further questions you may have about the training.
