Asset Inspection

It may be a great challenge to ensure objective conditional assessments in asset inspections. To do this based on objective conditional assessments and being able to document this, is even more challenging.

Verico offers highly efficient processes and tools to support you in these efforts. We often combine these services with asset inventory services. Typically, implementing these programs involves a team of professionals, and with a lot of the inspection elements being based on visual assessments, it is challenging to eliminate the subjective part of the assessments.

• How do you assess if an asset needs to be cleaned or not?
• And how do you know that all the inspectors to make the same assessment.

Another challenge is to be able to monitor a condition of an asset over time. The condition might not require an action at the time of the inspection, but you want to register it as a finding and to monitor the development of it as a basis for future assessments.

To help address these challenges, we have developed processes and tools that are based on an extensive use of visual and audio documentation in the form of digital photos, videos, and audio files.

In addition to building confidence in the assessment being done by the field personnel, it also allows for experts on different categories of assets and findings to efficiently run through thousands of reported findings and conduct “second opinion” assessments of the finding without leaving their office desks.

In conducting large-scale inspection programs and/or asset inventory initiatives in the utility sector, travel time and getting access to the assets tends to be both challenging and constitute a considerable cost. This is often one of the arguments for combining inspections programs with smaller or larger asset inventory initiatives – either collecting more information or checking the correctness of already registered information
