Statement of Problem
Rusting and water leakage in anchorage zonesCracking/splitting of cable cover pipesSigns of compromise in cables safetyIn 2002, LADOTD initiated a project for Structural Evaluation of the Stay Cables

Three Phases of Investigation
Phase I: Assessing extent of problems and the overall integrity check Phase II: Hands-on inspection of the suspect locations and critical elementsPhase III: Detailed design of repairs

Inspection findingsDamage Severity Levels
Severity Level Status Description
1 Satisfactory Minor deterioration and anomalies noted
2 Poor Deterioration of the protective elements and potential for degradation. Cables with this level of damages need to be routinely monitored and corrective action needs to be planned.
3 Critical Deterioration or potential for deterioration of the main tension elements (steel wires) exists. Action (repair) is necessary. Cables with this level of damages shall be closely monitored until repairs are applied.
