Course philosophy Mutual learning experience Learn from each other & outside

resourcesCourse operations

Participative “meeting”-type atmosphere

Course scope

Existing and the replacement of existing infrastructure

Mature versus growing economic and social environment

Emphasis on publicSystem rather than componentsCommon attributes across infrastructure

categories

Approach

Integrating - economic and engineering principals

System approach - treat assets as a system rather than as individual components

Institutional issues - seek to overcome institution issues that provide sub-optimal system solutions

Objectives

To review critically the status of the public’s infrastructure

To understand the issues involved in managing mature infrastructure and renewing existing infrastructure

To develop an awareness of the analytical tools and resources for public infrastructure management

What is Infrastructure?

The nation’s water supplies, transportation, wastewater, solid waste, and other infrastructure provide a range of essential services. They facilitate movement of people and goods, provided adequate safe water for drinking and other uses, provide energy where it is needed, remove wastes, and generally support the economy and quality of life. They are public assets that grow in value as each generation makes a contribution to the legacy.

What is Infrastructure?

Infrastructure is the aggregate of all facilities which allow a society to function George Rainer

Public infrastructure, therefore, is the aggregate of all public facilities which allow a society to function

It is a work of civilization David McCullough, writing of the Panama Canal

What is a City?

Human beings began as hunter-gatherers

Agriculture allowed people to stay in one place

As people gathered in communities, it made possible specialization of labor

But it also forced people to develop physical infrastructure

What Did People Need to Live in Cities?

ShelterDistribution system for food,

clothing, other goods“Common” infrastructure

Marketplaces Public gathering areas Government facilities

Transportation systemsPotable waterSewage disposalEventually, other utilities

Natural gas Electricity Telecommunications

Public Infrastructure is:

Roads and bridgesWater, storm water, and waste water

distribution systemsWater treatment facilitiesLocks, dams, and railroadsElectrical distribution systemsSchools

Differences between public and private infrastructure

Private infrastructure is created for the benefit of the owner

Public infrastructure is created for the benefit of the user In public infrastructure, there is a

disconnect between level of service and the organization responsible for maintenance of the level of service.

Role of Infrastructure

Economic productivity - correlation between GDP and infrastructure investment (identified by Aschauer)

Communication, education, health, safety, mobility and standard of living.

Role of infrastructure in society

Man-made Infrastructure

Natural Environment

Economic system

Social System

Grigg 1988

Current trends in management of public infrastructure

Transition from a period of construction to operations and management.

Demands on for greater efficiency, reliability, and capacity are increasing.

Increased financial and resource accountability Increasing need for knowledge of tradeoffs

between: Capital costs and O/M costs Competing public sector services Alternative technologies and modes System preservation and expansion or improvement

Inter-Organizational Relationships

How do these inter-relationship and mixed objectives impact the infrastructure, finance, delivery, and maintenance of service process? What are some of the institutional

issues?

What is infrastructure management?

Process of maintaining and operating existing infrastructure in a cost effective manner.

Infrastructure management / asset management / facility management

Proactive process for stewardship of assets Criteria for individual asset and system performance Policies for maintenance, rehabilitation, and restoration Measure and monitoring of systems performance Allocation of resources Feedback, adjustment, and improvement of systems

Framework for Infrastructure Management

The thrust:Preservation of the condition and value of asset (the

contribution made by our generation to asset legacy)

Key success criteria:Integrate organizational goals into capital, preservation, and

maintenance decision-making processes

Three levels of management:Program/network/systems-wideProject selectionProject design level

Key features:Ongoing, in-service monitoring and evaluationA system database

Asset level decisions

Economic life (planning measure) Minimizes the average cost of ownership

Physical life Can no longer perform designed function

Depreciation life Anticipated life for accounting purposes

Functional life Life ended by functional obsolescence

Renewal decision Based on conditions at the time or within the decision

making period

Asset level decisions

Address physical condition Preservation of investment

Address user needs Capacity, safety or operational improvements

Alternative modes (inter-modal, cross-model) Transit vs. highway

Competing public services Transportation vs. education

Life Cycle

Birth to death or cradle to graveIncludes planning, design, construction,

operation, replacement and disposal.Conception and birth (planning, design

and construction) receive a disproportionate share of attention from engineers, politicians and administrators.

Asset Management Systems

Must consider all individual assets life-cycle conditions together.

Must consider common resource limitations.

Must consider policy on asset and network conditions.

A Simple View of Asset Management

Defining goalsPlanning and programmingAcquiring, manipulating and using

dataImplementing programsMonitoring outcomes

A Simple View

This has planning, engineering, financial and public policy aspects

It depends on sound engineering practice, and sound planning practice

It also depends on sound management and sound political practice

Simple View

You need a goalYou need a plan to attain the goalYou need data and analytic systems to

formulate a planThe organization must be able to

implement the planYou need to be able to monitor the

performance of your system to know if the goal was met
