1) A method for performing inspection of an asset of a linear asset infrastructure, the method including:
- a) traversing the asset with a device including a probe to perform inspection of the asset;
- b) storing data on a storage device conveying inspection information derived from the probe;
- c) processing the data with a computer for:
- i) determining if the inspection information is indicative of an abnormality in the asset;
- ii) selecting an asset defect among a set of possible asset defects on the basis of the abnormality, wherein the selected defect is a likely asset condition that is the source of the abnormality;
- iii) creating for the selected defect a condition record, the condition record being indicative of the selected asset defect.
