history.

If  no  end  terminal  inspection  program  exists,  Trinity  Highway  recommends  visual  drive-by 
inspections  at  least  once  every  month  and  walk-up  inspections  every  six  (6)  months.    These 
inspections shall, at a minimum, consist of: 

Visual Drive-By Inspections 

(Recommended Frequency: Monthly) 

  Check for damage caused by vehicle impacts. 

  Check for damage caused by impacts from snowplow, mowing or roadway operations. 

  Check for misalignment. 

  Check for missing system components. 

  Check for vandalism. 

  Check for damage caused by adverse weather conditions (i.e. erosion, weight of snow, UV). 

  Check that the anchor cable appears taut. 

 

Walk-Up Inspections (Recommended Frequency:  Every Six (6) Months) 

 

Walk-Up Inspections include ALL Visual Drive-By Inspection items (listed above) as well as 
the items listed below. 

 

  Ensure required traffic control is in place to conduct walk-up inspection.

MATT™

 site, which may interfere 

with the performance of the 

MATT™

  Check that fasteners are fully tightened.  See Step 16 for torqued nut locations.  All 

other locations are to be tightened to a snug position with a minimum of two (2) bolt 
threads protruding beyond the nut. 

  Check for erosion to the site grading around the system.

  Ensure the 

MATT™

 Panels are lapped correctly to allow them to telescope. 

If any of the above items are identified during the inspection process, swift action shall be taken
