Transition from Building and Operating to Managing our Assets

Abstract

Many technical professions approach their infrastructure assets from the project perspective. There are fixed budgets and timelines to meet. Once the capital works are complete, there is a routine maintenance program that will hopefully result in the asset achieving somewhere close to its design life. To achieve sustainable long-term performance requires the technical professionals to utilise an integrated, multidisciplinary set of strategies at all stages of the asset lifecycle, from concept through to disposal.
