Reasons for the decision:

Reportal has been ongoing with GBC and their MSCPs since 2017 and is a specialist ‘one-off’ system run by Stripe Consulting who are specialist car park consultants. Reportal an online based version of a life-care plan which is essentially a database and well as a tool to generate future planned maintenance programmes for each of the 5 MSCPs. This has allowed GBC to keep a record of all that is known about the car parks to date, including all service related inspections, various reports, plans and surveys as well as facilitate and budget for future works. A life-care plan is recommended in the ICE Recommendations for the Inspection, Maintenance and Management of Car Park Structures in order to provide a documented and managed approach to the inspection, maintenance and management of a car park structure and assets.
