ABSTRACT:
A set of tools is provided for inspecting and obtaining critical data concerning the support structure of a canopy on support columns. The data obtained is entered into a computer programmed to generate a structure integrity report based on the data. The tools include a measurement wheel, an electronic level, a digital camera, a laser distance meter, an ultrasonic thickness gauge and optionally, a ladder and a drill. The computer can be local to the inspection or remote, and, if the latter, in communication with a personal digital assistant with wireless telephone capability into which the user can enter data.
