Infrastructure has to be adequately planned, designed, executed and maintained to keep its structural performance over respective requirements throughout its life-cycle. However, infrastructure suffering from serious deterioration in structural members and subsequent loss in performance have been often found due to various reasons. To meet these facts, it is extremely important to pursue coordination of engineering work in the stages of design, execution and maintenance. The infrastructure management including the concepts of the life-cycle management and the asset management is an organized system to support engineering-based decision making for ensuring sufficient structural performance and long life of a structure at the design, execution, maintenance, and all related work during its life-cycle. This paper deals with infrastructure management system and an example of its application for a road bridge from seriously deteriorated.

AbstractIn the last few years, particular focus has been devoted to the life cycle performance of fastening systems, which is reflected in increasing numbers of publications, standards and large-scale research efforts. Simultaneously, experience shows that in many cases, where fastening systems are implemented – such as industrial facilities – the design of fasteners is governed by fatigue loading under dynamic characteristics. In order to perform an adequate design and to specify the most efficient and appropriate fastening product, the engineer needs to access and process a broad range of technical and commercial information. Building information modelling (BIM), as a data management method in the construction industry, can supply such information and accommodate a comprehensive design and specification process. Furthermore, the application of BIM-based processes, such as the generation of a BIM-model, allows to use the important information for the construction as well as the life cycle management with different actions and time dependencies of the asset and its components. As a consequence, the BIM model offers the potential to correlate different data relevant for achieving the goals of the respective application, in order to ensure a more effective and correct design of the fastening. This paper demonstrates such a BIM-based design framework for an Industry 4.0 case, and in particular, the installation of a factory robot through post-installed anchors under fatigue-relevant loading in concrete.

Multidisciplinary Perspective

Effective management of physical assets should deliver maximum business value. Therefore, Asset Management standards such as PAS 55 and ISO 55000 ask for a life cycle approach. However, most existing methods focus only on the short term of the asset's life or the estimation of its remaining life. These methods do not consider alignment to changing corporate objectives in a variable context, nor do they adopt a multidisciplinary perspective. This chapter argues that, to create maximum value, Asset Management should be a multidisciplinary and strategic practice that considers the complete life cycle of the asset: Asset Life Cycle Management. A practical twelve-step approach is presented to develop an Asset Life Cycle Plan (ALCP) in which expert sessions are used to identify the main lifetime impacts that influence the creation of business value from the use of the asset. The steps are illustrated with an example from practice. The chapter concludes that the ALCP supports asset managers in making long-term strategic decisions in a timely and effective manner.

Maintenance of railway permanent way infrastructure plays a vital role in protecting the safety of railway transport. The infrastructure management of railway permanent way rarely involves effective information technology, causing the lack of supplies basis and the difficulty in tracking the relevant information of materials when problems arise in the facilities performance. This article introduced the concept of life-cycle management into the management of maintenance-of-way infrastructure and studied the information coding work on various stages of the life cycle. Simultaneously, the paper discussed how to integrate the resource of facilities and materials with the information management of maintenance-of-way infrastructure in the light of this theory.

Plant Level

The long term management of a production asset raises several major issues among which rank the technical management of the plant, its economics and the fleet level perspective one has to adopt. Decision makers are therefore faced with the need to define long term policies (up to the end of asset operation) which take into account multiple criteria including safety (which is paramount) and performance. In this context, EDF “PWR Durability I & II” research projects have consecutively been launched, since 2001, at EDF - Research & Development in order to develop methods and tools for EDF fleet. The aim of this paper is to summarize and analyze the research work that has been performed by EDF - R&D (in the field of decision making for nuclear power plant maintenance and operation) during the past seven year, in order to characterize the issues that have been or could be addressed with the developed methodology and tools. As a result, in this paper, we first remind the reader of the EDF overall methodology for asset management and its adaptations to plant-level life cycle management and to fleet-level component major replacement or capital investment management. We then focus on the three software tools that implement this methodology in order to allow decision makers, in several different contexts (life-cycle management, plant level operation and maintenance optimization, major component replacement ...) to define, evaluate and analyze long term plant operation and maintenance policies, major component replacement policies and capital investment strategies. We also show how the methodology and the software tools were used, from 2003 to 2007, on several pilot case studies. Examples of technical and economic results obtained for two pilot case studies (one at the plant level, the other at the fleet level) are described as well as the kinds of conclusions one can draw from them in order to help decision makers evaluate and analyze long term asset management strategies or compare different plants. We also analyze the added value of probabilistic evaluations and of our “rolling-up” process that allows to take into account interactions between the components of the plant or between the plants. Finally, we propose a classification of issues that can be addressed with our methodology and tools and introduce some perspectives for our future work.

Reuse System

Longevity, reuse and recycle can be effective in reducing environmental burden in the life cycle of building steel structures. Longevity is the most crucial element in reducing the environmental burden of building steel structures. Nevertheless, there are always a number of buildings that need to be demolished for physical, architectural, economic, and social reasons. When such building steel structures have been demolished in the past, their structural members have been scrapped for recycling. Steel, by nature, is the only type of structural member that can be fabricated. Even without special joints that facilitate demolition work, steel members can be reused after minor fabrication procedures such as cutting, drilling, and welding. In this paper we discuss structural performance of reusable members and practical examples using reusable members.

Nowadays, State Grid Corporation is promoting the construction of the “Large Five” system and new requirements for the management of are put forward. A brief analysis of the current power transmission and transformation equipment management and their existing problems is given in this paper. Based on the analysis, the Power transmission and transformation equipment life cycle management framework is proposed. The framework is composed of management support systems, including asset management standard system, key index evaluation system, assets benefit evaluation decision mechanism when put into operation, the life cycle assets management information system, and decision-making method with the cost benefit mechanism and key index evaluation mechanism. At the same time, with the use of risk assessment, assets life-cycle cost management, state evaluation, reliability evaluation, life evaluation, the transmission and transformation equipment assets management level is optimized.
