| Abstract: |
Maintaining infrastructure is challenging for asset owners, who make complex decisions on investment planning and prioritisation of maintenance spending. The use of tools to analyse data provides a repeatable and auditable evidence base to support decision making. The Structures Asset Management Planning Toolkit allows asset owners to carry out lifecycle planning, works prioritisation and calculates asset value to meet financial reporting obligations. The toolkit is one of the few tools that performs calculations at component level: taking into account external factors (environment, traffic levels, etc.), as well as the condition of other components within a structure to estimate the rate of deterioration. The toolkit includes over 300 deterioration profiles, is widely used in the UK and considered the de-facto standard. |
