Exelon (Constellation) Bridge Inspection

Precision bridge inspections pave the way for critical repairs at a major power generation facility.

Ardmore Roderick provided precise bridge inspections at the Exelon Dresden Power Generating Station in Morris, IL, addressing load ratings for multiple deteriorating concrete beam structures. These bridges, essential for plant access, spanned the plant’s intake and cooling channels, presenting challenges due to high water levels and flow velocities. The team coordinated closely with Exelon to ensure safety, especially given the demanding conditions. The inspections and subsequent load ratings identified necessary repairs, enabling Exelon to collaborate with the local County Engineer to secure funding for a comprehensive bridge replacement or rehabilitation project.
