Compliance reporting for NBIS, AASHTO, and IBC standards serves infrastructure owners and transportation agencies who must demonstrate structural integrity to regulatory bodies and funding authorities. These standards establish minimum requirements for bridge inspection, highway safety, and building code compliance across different jurisdictions and project types.
The National Bridge Inspection Standards (NBIS) require comprehensive bridge assessments every 24 months, with element-level condition ratings and load capacity evaluations. AASHTO standards provide engineering guidelines for transportation infrastructure, while the International Building Code (IBC) sets requirements for structural safety in buildings and public facilities. Compliance reporting must integrate field data with standardized documentation formats.
Our reporting services combine automated data collection with expert analysis to produce compliance-ready documentation that meets federal and state requirements. We work with bridge owners, DOTs, and facility operators to establish monitoring programs that generate the required condition assessments, load ratings, and maintenance recommendations. Our nationwide deployment ensures consistent application of standards across different regional requirements and inspection protocols.
What We Include
- NBIS element-level condition ratings for all bridge components

Frequently Asked Questions
How does compliance reporting work for NBIS, AASHTO, and IBC standards nationwide
We provide nationwide compliance reporting services that follow federal standards while adapting to state-specific requirements. Our systems generate standardized reports that meet NBIS bridge inspection requirements, AASHTO transportation guidelines, and IBC building code standards across all jurisdictions.
What types of infrastructure require NBIS compliance reporting
All highway bridges, railroad bridges over highways, and bridges on public roads require NBIS compliance. This includes suspension bridges, beam bridges, arch bridges, and movable bridges that carry vehicular or pedestrian traffic.
How often must infrastructure be inspected under these standards
NBIS requires bridge inspections every 24 months for most structures, with underwater inspections every 60 months. Critical findings may require more frequent monitoring. IBC requires periodic structural assessments for buildings over certain heights and occupancies.
What happens if infrastructure fails compliance standards
Our reports identify non-compliant conditions with specific recommendations for corrective action. We provide data to support load restrictions, repair prioritization, and funding applications to bring structures back into compliance with federal standards.
How do you ensure reports meet regulatory requirements
We use standardized templates and data formats approved by FHWA and state DOTs. All reports include required element-level ratings, condition assessments, and maintenance recommendations that meet federal inspection standards and documentation requirements.
