Correctly designed and installed fixings, subject to an appropriate maintenance regime, have a significant role to play in the safe, efficient and cost-effective operation of transport infrastructure. However, in recent years a series of failures around the world has highlighted the potential risks associated with the use of fixings in safety-critical applications, where failure of the fixing can result in collapse of a structure, risk to human life or significant economic loss.

C778 aims to provide nationally applicable information that covers the management of safety-critical fixings and how activities at other life cycle stages, including the design of fixings, influence these management activities. It is aimed at competent practitioners responsible for the management of assets, including those specifying the asset management regime, delivering maintenance activities and those involved in design of structures and fixings.
