KCA is a national leader in bridge maintenance and inspection, delivering trusted structural assessment services for state and local agencies since 1976. With one of the largest teams of NBIS-qualified inspection professionals in the industry, we bring unmatched experience across routine, complex, and specialty structure types. Our inspectors are trained in the latest evaluation methods, advanced access techniques, and safety protocols, allowing us to assess structural conditions accurately and efficiently in any environment.

Over five decades, KCA has completed more than 70,000 bridge inspections, including 35,000+ assessments of state-owned structures nationwide. This extensive portfolio spans underwater inspections, non-destructive testing and advanced testing programs, post-storm and emergency response efforts, and inspections of major structures such as movable bridges, long-span bridges, and complex suspension and cable-stayed systems. Our teams routinely perform initial inspections for new structures, interim inspections for bridges with identified concerns, and in-depth inspections that require close coordination with design and load-rating engineers.
