REPORT SUMMARY
UNDERWATER INSPECTION
The substructure units inspected at Bridge No. 33527, Piers 1 and 2, were found to be in good condition with no defects of structural significance observed. However, the protective coating/paint system has experienced a 10% loss of coverage throughout. A scour depression was observed around the upstream nose of Pier 1, with a 5 foot radius and a 3 foot depth. A large 24 inch diameter timber log has become wedged into the channel bottom extending up to the underside of the superstructure on the south side of Pier 1. Aside from localized scour around Pier 1, the channel bottom around the substructure units appeared stable, consisting of a sandy infill with random cobbles. This report represents the initial underwater inspection for this structure.
(A) The channel bottom consisted of sandy infill with random cobbles, up to 18 inches in diameter, starting 10 feet out from the shoreline.
(B) Typically, a 10% loss of coating was observed on the steel shells of the cast-in-place piles.
(C) A large timber log, with up to a 24 inch diameter, and other timber debris, up to 12 inch diameters, were observed accumulating on Pier 1 from the channel bottom extending up to the superstructure.
(D) Scour depression observed around the first pile on the upstream nose of Pier 1, with a 5 foot radius and a 3 foot depth.

The bridge superstructure consists of three spans. The superstructure is supported by two bent piers and two reinforced concrete abutments. Each pier is comprised of a reinforced concrete cap supported by seven steel encased cast-in-place piles. Substructure units were designated as follows: South Abutment, Piers 1 and 2, North Abutment.

The routine underwater inspection of Bridge 33527 (CSAH 11 over the Snake River) was completed on April 7, 2017. The underwater inspection was conducted from shore. The inspection was conducted by a team consisting of a PE-Diver with a valid MnDOT Team Leader certification and a dive tender. Due to waterway conditions at the time of inspection, the inspection could be accomplished by wading in accordance with OSHA regulations Profiles were taken along the upstream and downstream faces of the bridge and around the periphery of substructure units to determine the presence, location and area of scour.
The bridge elements inspected consisted of two steel pile bent piers. According to the bridge inventory or design drawings, Piers 1 and 2 were each founded on seven CIP piles. Inspection procedures followed FHWA guidance and the MnDOT Bridge and Structure Inspection Program Manual with channel bottom probing to search for foundations. The routine underwater inspection frequency is recommended to remain at a maximum of 60 months based on those findings and risk factors. Also, inspection procedures should continue to follow the above approach and standard guidance with 100% Level I and 10% Level II intensity efforts.

General Notes: PONTIS inspection comments -2001 inspection - structure remains in good condition. No problems noted during thisinspection. 2003 inspection - Structure is in good to very good condition. All concrete members of structure are sound.Superficial cracks in railing remain the same - no serious problems. Piers are in good condition; although there is a largeamount of debris to be removed from upstream end of south pier. Abutment slopes need riprap. Grafitti on beams andabutments should be covered with a coat of paint. 2005 All concrete in this pre-stressed concrete beam span structure is ingood condition. J-railing have minor expansion cracks in them. Bridge beams and abutments have grafitti painted on them thatshould be painted. All C-I-P pier piling are in good condition. Remove debris from upstream end of pier no. 1. Gland on northend of bridge has failed and should be repaired. Bituminous approaches and signs are in good condition. 2007 inspectionfound this structure to be in good condition. No change in overall condition. All concrete is sound. CIP pier piling are in goodcondition. Expansion cracks in conrete railings remains the same. Riprap needed on abutment slopes. Gland on expansionjoint on north end of bridge is leaking and should be replaced. Unable to inspect for scour at this time. Will complete inspectionin the spring and forward results to MN/DOT at that time. Signs and approaches are in good condition. 8-11-08 Found 3.0'deep scour on west end of south pier. Remoive debris and continue to monitor. 2009 - Strucutre is in good condition. Concreteslab has delamination oever pier joints. Debris on upstream end of pier 1 needs to be removed. J-railing has expansion cracksthroughout which remain the same. pier pilings are in good condition. All concrete members are sound.Abutment slopes stillneed riprap. Leaking gland on Norh end of bridge needs to be repaired.No change in scour since last inspection. ET-Plusguardrail is good. Signs okay.2011 - Structure is in good condition. Concrete deck has some minor delamination at joints over piers. Debris upstream andalong pier #1 needs to be removed. J-railing expansion cracks are the same as in 2009. Pier piling & piers are in goodcondition. Abutment slopes still need riprap. Guardrail is in good condition. Signs are all ok. Gland on north end still needsrepair.2013 - Structure is in good condition. North concrete diaphragm, 3 hairline cracks center & 3 east side. S. concretediaphragm, 1 hairline crack east side, and 1 W. side. Cracks w/ efforvesence deck underside over N. pier (W. side), also overS. pier. Debris in channel needs to be removed at W. end of S. pier. Bit. apps. have moderate dips at Br. ends, and patchesare breaking up.2015: Br. is in good cond., no changes since previous inspection. Due to high water unable to check for scour at piers.
