Asset Condition and Dilapidation Surveys

RSA specialises in Asset Condition and Dilapidation Surveys for state road authorities, councils, and private asset owners across Australia. These surveys provide a clear, evidence-based understanding of asset performance, maintenance needs, and compliance with relevant standards. Our approach combines on-site inspections, structured assessment frameworks, and GIS-linked reporting to give clients a complete picture of their assets’ condition.

Whether for routine maintenance planning, pre- and post-construction documentation, or compliance checks, our surveys help asset managers make informed decisions, reduce risks, and extend asset life.

What We Assess

Our inspections cover a wide range of road and roadside assets, including:

  • Safety barriers – structural integrity, alignment, and compliance guidelines.
  • Road pavement – cracks, potholes, rutting, delamination.
  • Footpaths and kerbs – trip hazards, surface defects, unevenness.
  • Road signage – visibility, damage, fading, and compliance with placement standards.
  • Guideposts – alignment, visibility, damage.
  • Vegetation – overgrowth affecting sight lines or asset access.
  • Roadside cleanliness – litter, debris, drainage obstruction.

 

Inspection Techniques

  • Drive-through inspections for roads and barriers.
  • On-foot inspections for detailed asset evaluation.
  • Real-time recording of observations onsite.
  • Independent video review by multiple assessors for quality assurance.
