The challenge of infrastructure management: Scene setting
Paul Sayers and Geoff BaxterInternational workshop to discuss the science of asset
management
9th December 2011
A world wide challenge
Effective and efficient infrastructure management presents many problems:
– Flood control systems are complex combinations of levees, pumps, dams, channels etc
– Future change – climate, deterioration and land use influence risk
– Budgets are limited – requiring prioritisation and is required($2.2 trillion to fix, US – Steve Stockton, £20 billion sunk investment, England and Wales)
Some difficult science questions….
Perform under load or on demand?
Improve or deteriorate
with/without action?
How will an asset…
Perform now and in the
future?Which assets
contribute most to risk?
How will the system...
Hot spots?Investment
need?How might
these change ?
What are the national…
A range of spatial and temporal scales of interest
