GENERAL SITE CONDITIONS (including vegetation encroachment, drainage; site stability e.g. slip planes, rock fracturing etc.)

• Description

CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE SPECFIC QUESTIONS

• 

• Have site conditions altered the structures effective fall height (heff)?

  Yes

  No

  N/A

• In Metres, what is the current heff ? "Effective Fall Height (heff) shall be calculated from the following: heff = hf + hi where: hf = maximum actual fall height within a distance of 2 metres from the edge of structure (see illustration left) hi = the impact surface value (Extract from AS 2156.2-2001)"

  Select 1- Works needed to: meet maintenance related statutory obligation and due diligence requirements; ensure the health and safety of users; prevent serious disruption of activities and/or may incur higher costs if not addressed within 1 year 2 - Works that: affect the operational capacity of the asset; are likely to lead to serious deterioration & therefore higher future repair costs if not addresses between 1 to 2 years 3 - Works that: have minimal effect on the operational capacity of the asset but are desirable to maintain the quality of the workplace; are likely to require rectification within 3 years 4 - Works that: can be safely and economically deferred beyond 3 years and reassessed at a future date Caution - Do not program critical maintenance items which require immediate rectification. These items warrant urgent action as unplanned maintenance and should be reported to the relevant asset officer ASAP
