Too easy to get wrong
- Documentation is often outdated or missing
- Access is often restricted, with lines being routed through bulkheads, under decks or gratings and in locations that make them difficult to trace and confirm
- Experienced personnel are leaving the industry. Necessary expertise is not always available which increases the risk of human error
- Pipework of same size, material and visual condition is easy to misidentify
- As-Build work is not budgeted for or is neglected
- Many surveys are repeated un-necessarily
- Incomplete digital record of infrastructure on assets for visibility
- Processes are seldom standardised and require simplifying to achieve accurate and consistent results
- There is a real desire to reduce carbon emissions and existing processes will not achieve this
