In addition an engineering project to review erosion potential at bridge sites and to review inspection processes and benchmark them against external comparable organisations was initiated after the incident. This project is now well advanced. Completion of the inspection process review and subsequent confirmation/ amendment of inspection processes is expected by end June 2003.
