Condition Surveys

The Challenge: Our client required an independent review of their asset condiƟons. The plant was in-
stalled in 1997 and the client wanted to know if it had been suitably maintained and a forward maintenance plan
needed to be created which took into consideraƟon the remaining life of each asset and the costs to renew and/or
repair. Our BSRIA consultants also provide a priority grading to highlight which assets need aƩenƟon first.

Process:  
BSRIA undertook a condiƟon survey and uƟ-
lised historical maintenance and repair infor-
maƟon to appraise each asset, and apply a
condiƟon grade.
Remaining (expected) life assigned to each
asset using date of installaƟon and compar-
ing with CIBSE Guide M published data.
Costs to replace were also esƟmated with
the use of SPONS published data. Costs dis-
tributed across the forward maintenance
