What is it?
In line with the latest Code of Practice, the highways industry has been adopting a comprehensive asset management approach that supports business decisions, provides longer term financial benefits, and drives effective methods for the planning of infrastructure works. It is a well-established approach and is increasingly being applied successfully to all highway assets.
To facilitate an effective asset management system, it is vital to have a comprehensive and up-to-date asset register in place covering all highways infrastructure assets both on carriageway and off-carriageway. Consequently, our asset inventory surveys have been developed over many years specifically to deliver the highest quality asset, attribute, and condition data available on the market. We can collate data on all your assets including signs, ironwork and drainage, cycleways, vehicle restraint systems, trees, footways, and road markings to name just a few examples.

Why do it?
Whether you are a pavement engineer, asset manager or council member, asset inventory data is a pre-requisite for an effective asset management solution. How can you adequately manage your assets if you don’t have an up to date and accurate asset register, which outlines the assets you have, where they are located, what condition they are in, and ultimately what value they hold or what would it cost to replace them?
Consequently, the data collated in our asset inventory surveys provides the foundation for asset management, lifecycle planning, and financial reporting.
