 <p>EDMONTON, Alberta and NEW YORK and DENVER, July  21, 2020  (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- <strong>TSX, NYSE:STN</strong> - Stantec has been selected to provide bridge inspection services for three US State Departments of Transportation (DOT): Nevada (NDOT), Colorado (CDOT), and North Dakota (NDDOT). The work carried out by Stantec&#8217;s bridge inspection teams will use the latest technology and engineering methodology to ensure the bridges are safe for the traveling public and that they can continue to serve their communities.</p>  <p>The global demand for routine bridge inspections is set to quadruple from current levels to a market valuation of $6.3 billion by the end of 2029, <u>according to research firm Fact.MR</u>. The increased demand will be driven by aging infrastructure, damaging environmental conditions, and the wear and tear from increased traffic.</p>  <p>&#8220;Bridges connect our communities and help deliver the goods we rely on,&#8221; says Ryan Nataluk, vice president of infrastructure inspection, Stantec. &#8220;They are among our most essential infrastructure assets &#8211; keeping them safe for users and in a state of good repair is a top priority.&#8221;</p>  <p>The bridge inspection team at Stantec will provide detailed inspections using industrial rope access, non-destructive testing, and drone technology with advanced camera, video, and sensor technology, among other methodologies. The firm will deploy experts and equipment from four different states to complete the inspections.</p>  <p>Stantec will be providing NDOT with over 2,000 bridge inspections in addition to load rating services. CDOT has asked Stantec for a statewide inspection of minor bridges (structures measuring less than 20 feet in total length), overhead signs, high-mast lights, and traffic signals. This evaluation work requires confined space access techniques and advanced, non-destructive testing of steel elements using magnetic particle and ultrasound methodologies. NDOT and CDOT are both long-standing clients with Stantec.</p>  <p>Work for NDDOT will include routine and fracture-critical bridge inspections, as well as load ratings for approximately 900 local public agency structures. This is Stantec&#8217;s first bridge inspection contract with NDDOT. &#160;&#160;</p>  <p>Inspections in North Dakota began in April and work for CDOT and NDOT will begin in the late summer of 2020. Contract durations range from two to five years.</p>  <p>&#8220;As everyone looks to stretch their infrastructure budgets, administrators and owners are realizing that it&#8217;s more cost-effective to invest in proactive preservation and rehabilitation,&#8221; continued Nataluk. &#8220;New technologies and advanced techniques can help extend the life of infrastructure assets at a fraction of the cost of constructing a new asset.&#8221;</p>  <p>Consistent bridge inspection increases structure reliability and service life, helping to reduce maintenance, reconstruction, and replacement costs. Stantec&#8217;s bridge team includes more than 500 bridge engineers and certified bridge inspectors within North America.</p>  <p>Find out more about Stantec&#8217;s bridge inspection and assessment services <u>here</u>.</p>  <p><strong>About Stantec</strong></p>  <p>Communities are fundamental.
