Based on insights gathered from working with more than 40 utilities across North and South America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia over the last five years.

This document outlines key considerations for designing and scaling a modern inspection process for Transmission and Distribution (T&D) power grids. It reflects learnings from organizations moving beyond pilot projects to operational rollouts—providing a perspective on what works, where common pitfalls lie, and how to scale up deployments.

Condition-based Asset Management for T&D grids represent a transformational opportunity. When implemented effectively, it allows for a  shift in grid maintenance from reactive to proactive by finding far more critical defects—enhancing safety, optimizing investments, and reducing operational risk.

This guide provides a structured framework to help grid operators navigate the complexity of this shift. Based on years of hands-on experience, it highlights the core principles that consistently drive successful outcomes.
