Highway Inspection

Expensive highway repairs that could have been defected to the original asset owner if identified.

An insurance claim waiting to happen, and completely avoidable!

By choosing not to routinely inspect the highway infrastructure under its responsibility on face value an Authority avoids the associated inspection costs. However they also:

• Increase their litigation exposure costs from highway injury defects.
• They miss out of effectively using the reinstatement warranty periods to address reclaimable defects before warranty periods expire.
• They miss out on the ability to size internal / external resources to target priority issues thus making effective use of council maintenance resources.
• They delay minor repairs that eventually grow into major more costly repairs.
• They can alienate local people (customers) by leaving issues and defects unattended.

And so the list of benefits go on... If your into effectively managing your assets and liabilities for the long term and well being of the people you serve then consideration of whole life cycle costs pays dividends over time.
