Abstract:
|
A very high service availability is important for the operator and for the user of road tunnels, too.
The service availability of a structure is directly related to its quality. The earlier quality assurance
measures are being considered during the life cycle, the better a structure of high quality can be
guaranteed. Problems which occur during the operation period of a structure often result from
design errors or from inadequate realisation during the construction phase. They may also occur as
a result of wrongly planned maintenance and refurbishment works. Thus, the transfer of specific
data, information and experiences through the whole life cycle is very important. In this context
methods of facility management can provide efficient assistance when they have already been used
throughout all three classic phases of a structure‘s life cycle - planning, construction and operation.
Finally the tunnel drainage system of German road tunnels is considered as an example as practical
application possibility.
