HARTFORD, Conn., March 24 /PRNewswire/ -- USEngineering Solutions Corporation has renamed its flagship software application, ScourWatch(R), to BridgeWatch(R) to reflect the recent upgrade of functionality and capabilities to address clients' current and future needs.
ScourWatch was developed as a bridge-monitoring software application to address the challenge that over 60% of bridge failures over water were due to scour (the eroding of the natural foundation supporting bridge infrastructure due to certain hydrologic conditions). Bridge and bridge-related infrastructure were aging, budgets and resources were becoming more limited, and no real-time system existing for those charged with the safety of bridge infrastructure.
BridgeWatch bridge-monitoring application enables transportation professionals to proactively monitor, in real time, their valuable infrastructure to prevent and protect against hazardous conditions for private, public, and commercial transportation. The application collects and processes real-time data at regular intervals from meteorologic, hydrologic, oceanographic, and seismologic sources, local or mobile meters, gauges, and other sensing devices. Data comparisons are then performed with internal client bridge databases to alert, when appropriate, emergency personnel via any electronic medium (cell phones, pagers, email, fax, etc.) when bridges are experiencing a dangerous or critical condition. BridgeWatch can also be utilized as a hands-on training and scenario tool for emergency evacuation or security drills and can schedule and track maintenance activities related to bridges.
"We are all very excited about the new release of functionality and concurrent name change to reflect eight years of working closely with our clients and other transportation and infrastructure specialists to address their critical needs," said Joe Scannell, president and founder of USEngineering Solutions. "Our products are constantly reviewed and upgraded to provide the necessary tools to our clients charged with the formidable task of protecting, maintaining, and replacing bridges in a cost-effective manner to allow safe passage by over 230 million road and rail vehicles daily and commercial vehicles transporting over $8.4 trillion of cargo annually."
