The Manual is a recognised asset management tool to help asset owners with consistent and repeatable inspections of a wide range of asset types including but not limited to:
- Wharves
- Piers
- Jetties
- Walkways
- Breakwaters
- Revetments
- Embankments
- And other fixed assets
It contains a condition inspection framework and guidance on the creation of a visual assessment tool, both of which are flexible for user customisation.
The Manual has been developed to promote the use of best practice methods for the inspection and condition assessment of wharf structures. It has been designed to enhance data collection efficiency and to assist in moving towards a consistent approach for condition assessment of wharf structures in Australia.
