Development of True-Cost Concept For Renewal by Dennis Abraham Pdf

Asset management principles for underground pipeline infrastructure (UPI) are used by municipalities for efficient delivery of water, wastewater, and storm sewers. Due to budget constraints and limited resources, municipalities need to improve their operations, utilizing an optimum cost to provide their asset management services. Life cycle costs (LCC) include the total cost of facility ownership taking into account all capital costs, operation and maintenance costs, and renewing or disposing costs. Asset management costs include the maintenance and renewal portion of LCC. The main objective of this research is to develop asset management strategies with consideration of all the cost factors that include the concept of True Cost (TC). True Cost includes design, construction, operation, and maintenance as well as municipal administrative costs, which are not usually considered as part of the life cycle costs. For any city or municipality, infrastructure is the biggest expense and income driving potential. However, visible infrastructure which includes roads, alleys, sidewalks and storm inlets are inspected and responded to more quickly than the hidden infrastructure that includes water lines, sanitary sewer lines and storm sewers. The reason for this discrepancy is that cities address issues which are reported by their visibly-oriented citizens, plus, political entities gain public recognition by addressing visible issues. Unfortunately, most of the time, the hidden infrastructure gets ignored or does not get addressed in time to get the best value from the final investment. The result is that cities have to spend more dollars to fix the neglected problem, thereby elevating their TCs. The TC concept for this dissertation includes the sanitary sewer portion of the UPI and utilizes asset management data from construction, maintenance, and administrative costs. This information was collected from three municipalities in the North Texas area. Since TC is typically not accounted for in municipal environment, an overall understanding of True Cost will help municipalities and stakeholders determine the actual cost of the underground infrastructure. This will enable them to make better budgeting decisions when addressing deteriorating and failing infrastructure. This research has developed a framework to calculate municipal administrative cost, and thereby the TC, which can be used by cities as a tool. This dissertation also explores some of the factors affecting TC in a municipal environment. These factors include theoretical asset management, use of hot spots in geographical information systems, failed management of sanitary sewer systems including benchmarking, and social costs.

Water Infrastructure at a Turning Point by Anonim Pdf

The United States can boast the finest water and wastewater systems in the world, but it cannot sustain this extensive infrastructure unless steps are taken to counter its natural wear-down due to age. The resulting task is to initiate and manage a modern, methodical, and sustainable asset renewal process, called asset management. This report fully explores the processes involved in asset management: Define expectations and assess the condition, Estimate the remaining useful life, Manage the wear-out process, and continually Improve the plan. Written for: water utility managers, governing boards , community stakeholders, and others interested in the subject.

Pipelines 2011 by American Society of Civil Engineers Pdf

Proceedings of the Pipelines 2011 Conference, held in Seattle, Washington, July 23-27, 2011. Sponsored by the Pipeline Division of ASCE. This collection contains 135 peer-reviewed technical papers that discuss new solutions to some of the most critical infrastructure issues involving pipelines. The U.S. water and wastewater infrastructure systems are continuing to deteriorate. The recent economic downturn has increased the gap between current and required levels of funding. These serious financial constraints highlight the urgent need for creative and innovative solutions to improve our water and wastewater infrastructure systems. From the technical perspective, cost effective materials, proper planning, new design methods, innovative construction technologies, and advanced condition assessment technologies must be more aggressively developed, tested, and introduced to the industry. From the management perspective, optimal use of financial resources, smart and carefully crafted decision making processes on maintenance, rehabilitation and replacement activities must be made available, applied by and used by water and wastewater infrastructure agencies.

Asset Management Planning and Reporting Options for Water Utilities by Mike Matichich,Ron Booth,John Rogers,Elisa Speranza,Eric Rothstein,Cody Stanger,Ed Wagner,Paul Gruenwaldr Pdf

OBJECTIVES: Managers of drinking water utilities face the difficult task of identifying appropriate levels of renewal and replacement spending, and achieving buy-in for the required funding levels from boards and councils. This project was commissioned to provide the framework to identify and test several levels of asset management planning, using samples of assets from a dozen participating utilities. BACKGROUND: As water utilities strive to implement appropriate strategies for managing their considerable treatment plant and distribution assets, they are faced with challenges that include (1) fully valuing water in a marketplace whose customers and policymakers have become accustomed to below market rates for service, and (2) developing more strategic asset management programs in the face of increased funding competition. Most articles, papers, and publications on asset management are based on theoretical examples or single- case studies. This project was designed by AwwaRF as a management study to help address the lack of comparative case studies.
