Bridge and DOT Welding Inspection by AWS CWI Experts
Bridge and DOT projects demand code-driven weld quality verification and timely documentation. Integrated Inspection LLC delivers bridge welding inspection performed by AWS CWI and ASNT Level II/III technicians who work under AWS, AISC, and MDOT requirements to help your crews keep schedules and pass audits.

MDOT-Ready, Code-Based Coverage
Our inspectors support DOT welding inspection on new construction, rehab, and maintenance scopes with practical, field-ready execution. We perform AWS D1.5 inspection tasks and related visual and NDT activities aligned to project specifications and MDOT submittal expectations. From pre-weld fit-up through final acceptance, our approach emphasizes:
- Code-referenced acceptance criteria and traceability
- Real-time communication with supers, foremen, and QC managers
- Actionable findings that keep work moving
When project teams require mdot welding inspection, we help align procedures, WPS/PQR documentation, welder continuity, and inspection hold points to the job’s governing requirements.
Bridge NDT Services We Provide
Bridge fabrication and field erection often require multiple NDT methods to validate critical connections. We provide a full suite of bridge NDT services to match your scope:
Not sure which method to specify? We can review drawings and project specifications and recommend a method mix that satisfies AWS D1.5 inspection requirements while minimizing rework and downtime.
Field-Proven on Civil and Structural Steel Bridges
Our team supports civil bridge inspection on new builds, retrofits, and maintenance work, applying practical, constructability-aware QC in the field and shop. For structural steel bridge inspection, we focus on clarity: what passed, what failed, why it failed code, and exactly what is needed to close out NCRs. This helps foremen and fabricators execute targeted repairs without ambiguity.
We regularly mobilize across the lower half of Michigan and throughout Indiana, Ohio, and Illinois, and we travel nationwide when projects require it. If your schedule is tight or the site has complex access constraints, we’ll coordinate with your field leadership to sequence inspections around lifts, lane closures, and other critical operations.
Process, Reporting, and Turnaround
Your deliverables must stand up to agency review and closeout. We provide concise, code-referenced reports that document inspection scope, acceptance criteria, results, and any corrective actions required. Expect:
Clear pass/fail results with relevant code clauses
Practical repair guidance when permitted by the governing documents
Rapid turnaround and responsive scheduling to maintain production
For broader program needs, we can align with your QA/QC plan and coordinate with resident engineering or third-party oversight to streamline sign-offs. See how our NDT fits across heavy civil and industrial work on our Industries Served page.
Safety, Access, and Jobsite Readiness
We maintain DOT drug/alcohol testing compliance, OSHA 30, and radiation safety for RT operations. Our field teams arrive prepared for typical bridge access scenarios and coordinate with site safety to ensure inspections proceed efficiently and safely.

Bridge & DOT Inspection FAQs
Do you perform MDOT-compliant inspections?
Yes. We perform inspections under MDOT requirements and project specifications, including documentation aligned for submittals. When you need mdot welding inspection on active work, we help confirm code alignment, inspection hold points, and reporting that supports approvals.
What codes do you follow for bridge work?
We perform AWS D1.5 inspection tasks and related activities, and we work under AWS, AISC, and MDOT requirements as specified by the contract documents. We apply the project’s governing code, acceptance criteria, and any agency-specific addenda.
Can you support active bridge jobsites?
Yes. We are a mobile field team experienced with active heavy civil environments. We coordinate with your superintendent and QC lead to schedule inspection windows that minimize disruption to production.
Which NDT methods do you use on bridge projects?
Common methods include ultrasonic testing, radiographic (X-ray) testing, magnetic particle testing, dye penetrant testing, and visual inspection. Method selection depends on weld type, geometry, access, and the governing code. Explore our service pages for details: ultrasonic testing and radiographic (X-ray) testing.
Do you provide formal reports and documentation?
Yes. We deliver clear, code-referenced reports suitable for contractor and agency review. Findings are actionable, with traceable observations tied to the governing specification.
How quickly can you mobilize?
We maintain strong regional coverage across Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, and Illinois and can travel nationwide for the right project. Dispatch times vary by scope and location — please Contact our team to confirm availability.
