  Information on access provision for close-up surveys and thickness measurement

  2 The owner should indicate, in the table below, the means of access to the structures subject to close-up survey and thickness measurement. A close-up survey is an examination where the details of structural components are within the close visual inspection range of the attending surveyor, i.e., preferably within reach of hand.
