CONDITION ASSESSMENT: AN ESSENTIAL EVALUATION

Are you familiar with the term Condition Assessment?

If so, do you know why it is changing the face of Physical Asset Management? Because it’s not just about inspecting an infrastructure, it’s about staying ahead of the curve as the manager of that infrastructure.

It is a proactive rather than reactive approach that analyses the condition of an infrastructure or asset to identify and anticipate potential problems before they occur. The importance of Condition Assessment cannot be underestimated. It is the essential step that gives us all the following benefits to properly manage an infrastructure:

• Risk Identification & Mapping

By mapping damage, structural defects and other risk factors, we can prioritise maintenance and repairs.

• Accurate and up-to-date data collection

Through the Assessment, we collect and analyse up-to-date, accurate data on the current condition of the infrastructure we are inspecting. This enables us to make informed decisions about its maintenance, rehabilitation or replacement.

• Long-term planning

The information we collect is vital for budgeting or resource allocation. It enables realistic long-term planning, including the sustainability of an infrastructure.

At Atom Group we understand the importance, but also the effectiveness, of conducting a Condition Assessment. We have experienced teams, knowledge, and resources.
