Asset Inspections & Condition Surveys

Typical Assets & Systems We Assess

We have extensive experience in inspecting a wide range of infrastructure types, including: 

 
• Process plants and associated infrastructure 

• Bridges, culverts and gantries 

• Pipe racks and supporting steelwork 

• Passive Fire Protection (PFP) systems 

• Access platforms, stairs, walkways, and ladders 

• Ducts, chambers, covers, and sumps 

• Hard standings, floor slabs and foundations 

• Roads, car parks and surface drainage systems 

Our multidisciplinary approach means we can inspect multiple asset types in a single coordinated visit, reducing disruption and saving you time and cost. 

Risk-Based Inspections

We prioritise inspection focus areas based on the likelihood and consequence of failure, enabling strategic and cost-effective asset management. This includes:

 
• Identifying high-risk components through historical data, operational context, and failure modes
• Assessing potential consequences such as environmental impact, safety hazards, or service disruption
• Developing inspection plans that focus resources on critical areas
• Reducing unnecessary surveys and associated costs without compromising safety or compliance
• Supporting long-term asset integrity and regulatory alignment through targeted interventions

Defect Identification & Categorisation

We accurately identify and classify defects to support effective maintenance and risk management. This includes:

 
• Detecting issues such as corrosion, cracking, excessive deflection, and passive fire protection (PFP) deterioration
• Categorising defects based on type, severity, and potential impact
• Using digital mapping tools to pinpoint defect locations across assets or structures
• Annotating imagery to provide clear visual evidence for reporting and decision-making
• Supporting prioritisation of remedial actions and long-term asset planning

Condition Reporting

We deliver structured, easy-to-understand reports that support informed decision-making and proactive asset management. This includes:

 
• Categorising asset condition based on inspection findings and performance indicators
• Highlighting critical issues that may pose safety, operational, or compliance risks
• Recommending remedial actions tailored to defect type and severity
• Providing clear timelines for intervention and follow-up
• Outlining monitoring requirements to track changes and verify effectiveness

Indicative Repair Strategies

Every defect we report is accompanied by a practical recommendation tailored to its severity, location, and operational impact. This includes:

 
• Proposing remedial repairs to restore integrity and prevent escalation
• Recommending ongoing monitoring for low-risk or developing issues
• Advising isolation of affected components where immediate action isn’t feasible
• Suggesting full replacement for critical or irreparable defects
• Balancing risk, cost, and feasibility to support informed decision-making and long-term asset planning

Asset Register Compilation

We help clients build or update digital asset registers to support long-term maintenance and compliance. This includes:

 
• Identifying and cataloguing every structural component across the site
• Capturing key attributes such as location, material, condition, and inspection history
• Linking defects, inspection data, and repair strategies to individual assets
• Structuring registers for compatibility with digital asset management platforms
• Enabling efficient planning, budgeting, and lifecycle tracking

Options Appraisals & Lifecycle Costing

When significant defects are identified, we help clients evaluate potential solutions and understand their long-term cost implications. This includes:

 
• Reviewing remedial, replacement, and isolation strategies for technical feasibility and risk reduction
• Comparing short-term repair costs with long-term operational and maintenance expenses
• Assessing lifecycle performance, durability, and sustainability of proposed interventions
• Supporting investment decisions with clear cost-benefit analysis and scenario modelling
• Aligning recommendations with budget constraints, asset criticality, and strategic priorities
