What is Asset Management?
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.
What is Civil Engineering Asset Management?
Civil engineering asset management involves systematically planning, constructing, operating, maintaining, and disposing of infrastructure assets, such as roads, bridges, buildings, water and wastewater systems, and other facilities. Effective civil engineering asset management is essential for maximizing the lifespan of infrastructure assets, optimizing operational costs, and ensuring the safety and functionality of critical infrastructure for the benefit of society. It requires a comprehensive, data-driven approach and continuous commitment to maintaining and improving these assets over their entire lifecycle.
