Condition Assessment and Asset Performance Guidelines
IPWEA NAMS.AU has recognised the need for
industry Guidelines for Condition Assessment and Asset Performance. A
series of Practice Notes eBooks is being researched and published

inspections on a range of physical infrastructure asset types
including:
- Footpaths (published Nov 2007)
- Kerb and Channel/Gutter (published June 2008)
- Buildings (published June 2009)
