As importance of the field of maintenance and management come to the fore because of collapses of the Seongsu bridge and the Sampoong department store, "Special Act for the Safety Control of Public Structures" was established in 1995 and the major maintenance and management system began taking effect "Detailed inspection and Precision safety diagnosis". However, a technical standard of "Detailed inspection and Precision safety diagnosis" was low because its history was not long, and also the results of research were not enough so anxiety for "Insufficient Detailed inspection and Precision safety diagnosis" was continuously left. While its evaluation system introduced in 2002, the ratio of "Insufficient Detailed inspection and Precision safety diagnosis" has been getting lower. However, according to the evaluation result after carrying out "Detailed inspection and Precision safety diagnosis" recently, it seems difficult to become lower for the ratio of "Insufficient Detailed inspection and Precision safety diagnosis" in future. Therefore, it is considered of questionary survey of the concerned organization and the mechanism side in connection with "Insufficient Detailed inspection and Precision safety diagnosis". So it is arranged the fundamental problems caused by an "Insufficient Detailed inspection and Precision safety diagnosis" that is to show the improving direction of the existing evaluation system in a based on this.

National major facilities have been rigorously investigated using regular safety inspections and precision safety diagnosis since the Special Law for Facilities Safety Management was made in 1995. However, the process of safety inspection and precision safety diagnosis could be doubted due to intervention of facility owner for safety level evaluation, competition to obtain low price order, and low technical skills of inspection companies. Although the management processes for evaluating the inspection companies were used for several years, the process should continue to improve in the safety inspection field. This study analyzed the recent evaluation system and the ratios of insufficient inspection. Estimation of national loss expenses to the insufficient safety inspection was investigated to recognize the necessity for the improvement of facility inspection process and evaluation system.

Recently, as tunnel structure is getting old, many deformations and defects have been occurred. As tunnel has the characteristics of underground structure, the estimation of the cause of deformation is very difficult. Then, it is necessary to investigate the state of tunnel lining and to estimate the deformation cause and safety for tunnel. In this study, inspection and diagnosis system for effective maintenance in tunnel was researched. Firstly, non-destructive techniques such as GPR (ground penetrating radar), impact echo test, and infrared thermal techniques were applied to tunnel lining inspection. Tunnel lining analysis system was developed to analyze the stability of tunnel. And, tunnel soundness evaluation system was developed to find the probable causes and indicate the method for repair and reinforcement for tunnel.

River facilities and port structures require a regular inspection and diagnosis due to obsolescence. Currently, most river facilities are undergoing indirect inspection and diagnosis by divers. The underwater inspections are not feasible due to safety issues of divers and restrictions on working hours and environment. To overcome these issues, it is intended to conduct inspections of river facilities using underwater drones. In this research, an underwater ROV (Remote Operated Vehicle) has been developed, which is a kind of drone with propellers. As a key device of this research, an injection device has been attached to the underwater drone to conduct an operation test, a stable operation test of an underwater drone, and a test of attached sensors. The river facility inspection can be carried out optimally using the hovering control of the drone and injection systems. With the developed ROV system, hovering test and injection test have been performed to verify the feasibility of this development.
