1. How is the inspection service billed?

A linear meter refers to the bridge length along the route direction and is the basic unit for inspection billing. Routine expressway simply supported girder bridge inspection is about 30 RMB/linear meter; special structures such as split-deck, cable-stayed and suspension bridges are quoted separately by operational difficulty, with appropriate increases for wider decks or obvious left/right span differences.

2. How is 3D modeling charged?

3D modeling fees are tiered by level of detail and modeling scope: bridge body only without girder soffit is about 1000–2000 RMB/km; full-element fine modeling including girder soffit, bearings, columns and more is about 5000–6000 RMB/km. Both are one-time investments, permanently reusable after completion, with no additional future cost.

3. Cloud and on-premise deployment costs

Deployment mode Investment Applicable to
Cloud (Alibaba Cloud) Basic fee included in service charge Mainly highway customers
On-premise From about 1-2 million RMB Data-sensitive customers

4. Factors affecting the quotation

  • Bridge structure and width, whether split-deck
  • Inspection scope (whether girder soffit, bearings and other areas are included)
  • Data volume and inspection frequency
  • Deployment mode (cloud / on-premise)

5. How to obtain a formal quotation

Provide bridge baseline data (length, structure type, inspection scope); the business side issues a formal quotation after on-site survey. This does not constitute a quotation commitment.
