Asset management in civil engineering is the science and practice of managing infrastructure systems and civil assets to realize their value and to achieve the highest levels of services for communities. Infrastructure asset management is the integrated, multidisciplinary set of strategies in sustaining public infrastructure assets such as water treatment facilities, sewer lines, roads, utility grids, bridges, and railways. For construction projects, asset management involves the management of all assets necessary for a project to ensure peak performance is maintained in the asset life cycle, with minimal downtime. Asset management planning is a sustained systematic process of designing, operating, and maintaining assets/facilities effectively.
