Veritas Structures capability

Recurring inspections

Schedule and run recurring structural inspection programmes with baseline comparison against prior register history.

Recurring inspections turn Veritas Structures from a one-off deliverable into a programme. Workspaces define inspection cycles, scopes and schedules so the same asset receives consistent capture over time.

Each new cycle starts from the retained register rather than a blank folder. Inspectors see what was found previously, what was remediated and what requires re-assessment.

Used well, recurring programmes support durability monitoring, statutory obligations and capital planning with evidence that survives staff turnover.

The problem this solves

Annual or periodic structural obligations often fail in practice because each cycle is treated as a new project. Baseline comparison becomes manual, and trend analysis depends on someone remembering last year's severity calls.

Recurring workflows anchor each inspection to prior history so comparison is built into the operating model.

Workflow narrative

  1. 1. Define the programme

    Set inspection type, frequency and scope against the structural asset or portfolio.

  2. 2. Mobilise each cycle

    Open the scheduled inspection with prior findings visible for comparison.

  3. 3. Capture and compare

    Record new or changed findings with reference to the previous baseline.

  4. 4. Close and schedule forward

    Issue reports as required and retain the updated register for the next cycle.

Outcomes

  • Consistent inspection methodology across cycles
  • Built-in baseline comparison
  • Better durability and trend visibility
  • Reduced admin at each mobilisation

Applicable standards

  • AS 3600:2018Concrete structures - durability considerations
  • Programme scopeEngagement-defined inspection frequency and coverage

Limitations

Schedule ownership

Recurring programmes require operational ownership to confirm scopes and mobilisation dates.

Remediation linkage

Meaningful comparison depends on status updates when defects are repaired or monitored.

FAQ

Common questions

Can we run different frequencies per asset?
Yes. Programmes can be scoped per asset or element group according to workspace configuration.
Do recurring inspections auto-generate reports?
Reports follow the configured pathway after each cycle is reviewed. Generation may attract usage charges.
Can we compare photos across cycles?
Prior evidence remains linked in the register so reviewers can compare findings over time.
Is this only for statutory programmes?
No. Any workspace can use recurring workflows for owner-driven, insurer-driven or internal QA programmes.
