Ports Australia members, along with Royal HaskoningDHV, have worked collaboratively to produce the updated Wharf Structures Condition Assessment Manual (WSCAM).The manual is a 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 visual assessment tool, both of which are flexible for user customization. After speaking with asset owners and inspectors, the WSCAM was recently updated to: 1. Expand the scope of the manual to all port fixed structures excluding buildings 2. Rationalize inspection approaches resulting in a single assessment tool that is flexible for user customization 3. Provide guidance on a risk/criticality-based approach to determine the frequency of inspections 4. Cover more materials and technology used in assessments. |
