July 2015: MORTH now has Bridge Management System
Ministry of Road, Transport and Highways, Government of India has completed the procedure to put in place Indian Bridge Management System (IBMS) and Team IDDC is proud to Develop and Implement this system for National Highways. Starting July 2015 we shall put in place the IBMS software; which is being developed by our associates M/s Primera Software Solutions Inc of USA and the entire system is being reviewed by M/s Stantec Inc of Canada.
Team IDDC shall develop the manual for IRC SP 35, develop the whole IBMS system and implement the same for a period of three years. National Bridge Management Center (NBMC) is being set up at NOIDA within Indian Academy for Highway Engineers (IAHE).
Team IDDC is headed by me and assisted by Harshad and a team of 15 technical personals. They shall provide inventory tools to over 18 consulting firms being appointed by MORTH and these consultant shall collect all data essential to create a inventory of all bridges on National Highways. The classification procedure and automated essential inspection and testing system shall be generated by IBMA software, which shall activate inspection intervention through the same field consultants. Based on their testing and status report, decision making module of the IBMS shall generate a list of bridges needing rehabilitation/ strengthening intervention based on socio-economic and technical criterion.
The entire process is to be repeated for three times to create sufficient data to then create and model various deterioration models and also fine tune the ranking and priority modules of IBMS.
Team IDDC will also assist IAHE to enhance skill development for bridge engineers to make them competent to handle IBMS in various states of the country. About 20 states could start the process in the next three years.
September 2015: IBMS is finally functional, Team IBMS family has 18 new Consultants as it's members.
In a Conference held at Indian Academy of Highway Engineers, NOIDA on 28th September 2015, IBMS was rendered functional. Team IBMS is now 19 consultants strong headed by S & R (B) MORTH. 18 Consultants each
appointed to collect bridge inventory and status data to cover all National Highways were provided with official copies of the software and explained about its functioning.
Welcoming over 80 delegates from the fraternity, State PWD , NHAI, IAHE and HOTA ; Director General S. N. Das highlighted the need for all Team IBMS members to contribute to the success of IBMS project undertaken on such a massive scale with a Bridge Management system developed from scratch in India.
Chief Engineer Mr. Nirmal explained the high-points of IBMS and urged every one to give their best to ensure Inventory of all bridges is completed in shortest time possible.

December 2015: IBMS is 10,000 + and counting. Thank you Bridge Engineers from Participating Consultants.
17 participating consulting companies ensured that IBMS is 10000+ and counting. Today we breached the 10000 mark and we aim to be the largest data base of Bridges in the world. My Congrats to all participating consultants for their active support and cooperation. Inventory for bridges in State of Uttarakhand is complete and soon we shall complete the inventory for the state of Haryana.
We shall now focus to strengthen the next citadel that looms on us. We are working with over 36 experts from industry/ fraternity along with participating consultants to compile a set of specifications for Repair, Rehabilitation and Strengthening of Bridges in India. This document is being compiled under the auspice of Ministry of Road, Transport and Highways GOI. Presently such a document does not exist and it is our endeavor to compile this before the start of next phase of IBMS. Again my thanks to all participating experts and consultant.
IBMS is truly an endeavor of the Bridge Engineering fraternity and we are fortunate to be leading the show to establish this system.
Februaury 2016: Largest Database of Bridges
Indian Bridge Management System (IBMS) is the today the largest database of bridges with inventory of over 50000+ (and counting) bridges on National highways of India. Over 300 Engineers from 17 Consultants offices were trained for compiling the inventory of the bridges.
All this activities took place before actual field work started on 16th October 2015. One consultant worked at field to submit data for 100 records which was the trial period, during which glitches were observed and rectified and actual field work started from November 2015. During this time, our office ensured that most of field engineers were trained and taught the inventory and rating system of IBMS and to use the Tablet software.
When the actual field work started, work flow was smooth and soon we were receiving about 1200 inventory entries on daily basis. Each inventory record was checked at IBMS office for the authenticity and completeness of the data. Having ensured that the data is recorded only on National highway and is complete in all respect, it is accepted by a small team of 8 dedicated Engineers who at time worked over 55 hours weekly.
On the back end, the software team is working on further development of analysis and reporting modules of IBMS server, Statistical analysis of Bridge data as per states as per NH number etc is now available at the click of mouse and can be presented within few seconds. Work on Inspection cycle of the development is now in progress. Soon we shall be able to generate reports for ranking and priority of bridges for inspection and rehabilitation. Simultaneously efforts are ongoing to evolve common specifications for over 100 items of work for rehabilitation projects so that they are in place in time when rehabilitation work starts on the first bridge.
IBMS is evolving a Certified Bridge Inspectors Course in association with Indian Academy of Highway Engineers to ensure that properly trained Engineers are available to continue the work of Field inspection and Inventory work.
Indian Bridge Engineers should be proud today for their achievements as a fraternity. Kudos to all 18 consultants, members of Ministry of Road Highway & Transport S & R Bridge division who ensured that work progresses smoothly under continuous monitoring of Minister and Director General of MoRTH.
