One Business Condition Assessment Manual

The new One Business Condition Assessment Manual (OBCAM) is the biggest change to how the EA visually inspect assets since 2012. The manual has now been digitized bringing together multiple research projects and learning from post incident investigations to enable consistent condition grading of flood risk, navigation, fisheries & H&T assets.

Inspecting and checking individual assets helps us understand their likely performance, allows us to monitor condition, prioritise maintenance and supports effective risk management. The manual is now available as a power app on laptops, phones and i-pads for use by inspectors and other EA staff.

The current project is to provide continuous improvement support and technical consultation in capturing, agreeing and incorporating improvements to the PowerApp and SharePoint based OBCAM database / master spreadsheet and its documents.
