Synopsis

Recommendations for the Inspection, Maintenance and Management of Car Park Structures, Second edition provides technical guidance, and establishes a benchmark for good practice for car park owners, operators, and engineering consultants. Against the background of new health and safety legislation, this second edition of the guidance has been extensively updated to provide advice on the development of an effective life-care plan based on regular inspection, assessment, maintenance and management, and incorporates a risk-assessed approach to help ensure car park structures are safely maintained.

Recommendations for the Inspection, Maintenance and Management of Car Park Structures, Second edition

• provides unique guidance on asset management and life-care planning
• focuses on structure, cladding and edge protection
• includes surface, temporary and demountable car park
• details workplace and public safety issue
• advises on undertaking inspections, surveys and structural appraisals
• delivers guidance on cost-effective repair and maintenance.

The Recommendations are split into two parts. Part 1 is intended for use by owners and operators and advises on responsibilities, actions and legal obligations. Part 2 is intended for professional engineering advisors, and includes guidance on the processes of structural deterioration and different types of car park structures. These recommendations address the need to plan and implement safe and effective management regimes for both new car and old parking structures, taking into account lessons learned from past experience and the impact of both good and poor historic practice.
