Hazardous Waste Facility Takeover

The Challenge

A newly constructed hazardous waste facility — engineered landfill + rotary kiln incinerator — required independent asset condition assessment before EPC-to-O&M handover. Accepting with hidden defects would transfer millions in remediation liability.

The Methodology

ISO 55000-aligned Grade 1–5 condition assessment across all asset classes.
Defect taxonomy: category, type, and origin classification for every item.
Photographic evidence and GIS referencing for all 2,800 assessed items.
Criticality-based prioritisation of 142 identified defects.
CAPEX remediation plan development with cost estimates per defect.
Client validation process and EPC contractor negotiation support.

The Results

Several thousand items condition graded using a structured assessment methodology, with a complete geolocated asset register.
Critical defects identified and documented pre-handover, preventing hidden liabilities passing to the client.
Remediation plan developed, validated, and used as the basis for contractor back-charge negotiations.
Complete pre-handover risk registers with a prioritized remediation roadmap and full visibility on asset condition.
Assessment methodology adopted as the client standard for subsequent handovers across the portfolio.
