Clear knowledge of the condition of your assets and how they are performing is critical for making intelligent decisions regarding safety, maintenance, rehabilitation and renewal. Condition data and understanding asset failure modes, as well as determination of appropriate frequency and method of inspection relevant to the service provided by the particular asset is key.

– Ascertain state, condition and suitability – Identify potential failure modes, and their likelihood of occurrence – Impact of failure or disrepair, – Take service delivery impact into account
