Continuous vs Periodic Bridge Inspection

Two identical bridges, one shared random defect timeline: a periodic manual inspection catches whatever it happens to find at fixed yearly visits, while a continuous robotic crawler sweeps constantly and catches every defect while it is still small. Watch defects grow, get repaired, or turn critical.

⚙ Under the hood

Two identical bridges share the same random timeline of hairline cracks, corrosion spots and loose bolts appearing and slowly growing. A periodic manual inspection catches whatever it happens to find on fixed yearly visits, letting defects grow dangerously large in between; a continuous robotic crawler sweeps constantly and catches every defect while it is still small. Compare active defects, repairs and critical-severity events between the two strategies over the same seed.
