Abstract
Asset management can be described as “co-ordinated activity of an organization to realise value from assets” (ISO 2014). Managers of overhead transmission line assets must increasingly anticipate more and varied threats as well as opportunities, which will have a negative or positive impact on these assets (Electra 205, WGB2.13 2002). Utilities responsible for managing overhead transmission line (OHTL) must consider the myriad of threat which could have an impact on their assets. These threats can take on many forms such as the threat of changing generation patterns, lack of skilled manpower, weather related outages and failures, right-of-way joint use and availability of suppliers and materials, to name but a few. Utilities need to ask themselves have they considered how these threats may be turned into opportunities. In a fast changing environment it is vital to systems in place for constant monitoring and assessment of these threats and opportunities (Cigré TB 353).
