Common Questions

What is Asset Management? Why should we do Asset Management? How do you implement Asset Management?

What is Asset Management?

“Asset Management is an integrated set of processes to minimize life cycle costs of infrastructure assets, at an acceptable level of risk, while continuously delivering established levels of service.”

Why do Asset Management

 Get the most value from your assets  Identify financial resources  Reduce costs of unscheduled repairs  Improve system reliability  Promote communication between maintenance staff,

management, and the public (saves re-work)

 Reduces risk

Infrastructure Assets

What do infrastructure and

• possums have in common?

They both get no respect.

Design Life Cycles

 Sanitary Pipe

75 years

 Water

50 years

 Streets

20 years

 Storm

75 years

 Sidewalks

20 years

 Pathways

15 years

 Buildings

 Life cycle by components

 Pumps

Design Life Cycles

How do you implement Asset Management

1.

Inventory your Assets

2.

Prioritize the Risk of Failure

3.

Plan for the Future

4.

Implement the Plan

Step 1 of Infrastructure Management

 Inventory your Assets

 Identify assets  Mapping  Condition assessment

Identify Assets

 Sewer system

 Collection and treatment

 Water system

 Supply and distribution

 Streets  Storm sewers  Buildings  Pumps  Controls

Create a Map of Assets

Utilize geographic information system (GIS) to

create asset maps

Identification of individual assets

 Roads – block by block  Sewers – segments between manholes  Water mains – segments by block  Pumps  Controls  Major equipment

Asset Maps - Roads

• Surface Condition
• Structural Integrity
• Curbs
• Sidewalks
• Drive Approaches

Asset Maps - Water Main

 Age  Materials  Asbestos cement  Cast iron  Ductile iron  PVC  HDPE  Break history  Capacity (reliability)  Fire flows

Asset Maps - Sanitary Sewer

 Infiltration and Inflow Study  Capacity Analysis  Sanitary Sewer Evaluation Study

 Manhole Inspections  Television Inspection  Smoke Testing  Dye Testing

Asset Maps – Storm Sewer

 Infiltration and Inflow Study  Capacity Analysis  Storm Sewer Evaluation Study

 Manhole Inspections  Television Inspection  Smoke Testing  Dye Testing

 Green Infrastructure

Facilities

 Water System

Surface Water Intakes and Wells Metering and Chemical Feed Stations Treatment Plants Booster Pumping Stations Ground and Elevated Storage Tanks

 Storm and Sanitary System

Pumping and Metering Stations Storage and Equalization Systems Treatment Plants Surface Water and Groundwater Discharge Systems

Facility Condition Assessment by System

 Structural/Architectural Systems

Concrete foundations, walls, floors, slabs, beams

and columns

Masonry, windows, ceilings and roofs

 Mechanical/Process Systems

Heating, Cooling and Ventilation Process Equipment (Pumps, Blowers, Chemical

Feed, Mixers, Scrapers, Etc.)

Process Piping, Plumbing and Coatings

 Electrical/Instrumentation Systems

Condition Assessment

 Initial assessment can be as straightforward as excellent, good, fair,

marginal, and poor

 More detailed assessments can be added later

Identify Problem Areas

Composite Deficiencies

• Overlapping Issues
• Project Coordination
• Combined Projects
• GIS (geographic information

system)

Prioritize Known Problem Areas

 Water system

 Low-pressure areas  Fire flow issues  Frequent breaks  Water quality issues

Identify Projects

• Identify Critical Factors
• Identify Project Extents
• Probable Costs

Capital Improvement Plan

• Funding Opportunities
• Multi-Year Planning
• Predictable Expenditures
