| Abstract | Publicly owned infrastructure forms a large portion of the existing infrastructure in Canada and elsewhere. Typically, asset managers must make decisions about maintenance and renewal alternatives based on sparse data about the current state of their infrastructure assets, the relative risk of failure of these assets, and the life cycle costs of proposed interventions. The infrastructure in any one organization can consist of a diverse set of assets ranging from bridges to buildings and from buried to overhead utilities. The optimal selection of proposed interventions across this broad spectrum of assets is also problematic, and currently it is performed in a subjective manner. This paper identifies a number of prioritization techniques that can be used to compare and rank repair and renewal projects. This research does not attempt to develop models to select the 'correct projects' or even to identify the best decision model or prioritization technique; rather, it attempts to illustrate by example the results of specific decision-making paradigms. |
