Asset Condition Assessments
Specialist Asset Evaluation
Asset condition assessments are the cornerstone of asset integrity management and offer a structured method to evaluate the condition and performance of physical assets.
At ICM, we specialise in comprehensive Corrosion, Structural and Durability Condition Assessments. Leveraging on years of industry experience and current advanced non-destructive testing (NDT) techniques, ICM can provide a thorough evaluation of your assets' corrosion susceptibility and structural integrity, delivering actionable insights to mitigate risks effectively.
ICM also has established long term relationships with specialists across the access and materials analysis fields which allows for end to end management of condition assessment projects whatever your asset may be.

Conducting a facility-wide condition assessment allows ICM to provide clients with a comprehensive overview of the facility, divided into specific zones as defined by the client. This auditing approach gives maintenance personnel a complete understanding of the facility's condition, highlighting areas of concern with detailed descriptions and recommended actions to support scheduling and budgeting. The final report serves as a guide for prioritising refurbishment efforts and can also be used as a baseline for comparison in future condition assessments.

Undertaking Concrete Condition Assessments allows ICM to provide clients with a fitness for purpose analysis, which includes:
The extent & the causes of deterioration
The recommendations for halting the continuation of deterioration
The current best practice methodologies for concrete refurbishment, dependent on remaining assets service expectancy.
The testing of the concrete varies but can include such undertakings as follows:
Concrete core removal
Delamination "Drummy" Survey
Chloride content by weight of cement
Sulphate content by weight of cement
Carbonation front
Ultimate Compressive Strength
Electro potential Survey

ICM offers on-site coating assessments to evaluate the effectiveness of existing protective coatings, determining their ability to continue providing protection and estimating their remaining lifespan. These assessments help clients develop coating refurbishment plans based on survey results, ensuring a maintenance strategy that aligns with the structure’s remaining service life. The surveys may also identify potential hot spots within a facility that require additional attention to prevent risks to the asset’s structural integrity.
