Download or read book Tunnel Operations Maintenance Inspection and Evaluation TOMIE Manual written by Federal Highway Administration and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2020-07-21 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tunnels represent a significant financial investment with challenging design, construction, and operational issues. Tunnels that are not adequately maintained usually require more costly and extensive repairs. To help safeguard tunnel users and to ensure reliable levels of service, the FHWA developed the National Tunnel Inspection Standards (NTIS), the Tunnel Operations Maintenance Inspection and Evaluation (TOMIE) Manual, and the Specifications for National Tunnel Inventory (SNTI). In accordance with the NTIS, this Manual describes methods for improving the safety and performance of roadway tunnel operation, maintenance, inspection, and evaluation programs.

Download or read book Action for roads written by Great Britain: Department for Transport and published by Stationery Office. This book was released on 2013-07-16 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The road network is vital to our nation and a crucial part of the national transport system. The challenge is both to make best use of the network we have, and also to plan ahead to help the economy grow. The Department has just announced the biggest-ever upgrade of our motorways and key A roads. By 2021, spending on road enhancements will have tripled from today's levels, and we will have resurfaced 80% of the network. This white paper presents the next steps as being to: invest in 52 schemes, including 16 new projects; start construction on five major road schemes by April 2014; begin feasibility studies on five problem hotspots on the strategic road network, prioritising solutions; continue with route based strategies for the whole network, to build a next generation of improvements and interventions; consult later this year on turning the Highways Agency into a publicly owned strategic highways company; publish a draft national policy statement for national networks in 2013, with the aim of formally designating the document in 2014; introduce legislation in 2014, providing a stable funding basis for investment and legal powers for the new Highways Agency; and produce the first Road Investment Strategy later this parliament, guaranteeing roads investment to 2021

Download or read book Political Epistemology written by Pietro Daniel Omodeo and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-10-14 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an investigation of the ideological dimensions of the disciplinary discourses on science in line with the scholarly tradition of historical epistemology. It offers a programmatic treatment of the political-epistemological problematic along three entangled lines of inquiry: socio-historical, epistemological and historiographical. The book aims for a meta-level integration of the existing scholarship on the social and cultural history of science in order to consider the ways in which struggles for hegemony have constantly informed scientific discourses. This problematic is of primary relevance for scholars in Science Studies, philosophers, historians and sociologists of science, but would also be relevant for anybody interested in scientific culture and political theory.

Download or read book Maintenance Management Auditing written by Anthony Kelly and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book Anthony Kelly explains the unique procedure he's developed for auditing the management of the maintenance of both productive plant and infrastructures: for example, of petrochemical processing installations and of vehicle fleets. Case studies demonstrate the application of this procedure to comprehensive audits of several weeks duration, to 'fingerprint' audits taking perhaps a day or so, and to benchmarking exercises. Industrial managers absorbing the ideas and procedures presented in this book will be better able to audit for themselves their own maintenance departments, or to specify such audits when they are to be undertaken by external consultants. Such investigations will highlight existing problems and identify their causes - a necessary process before embarking on major organizational or system change. Extensive use of case studies Contains a structured questionnaire of over 1,000 questions that is based on the ideas and concepts of business centered maintenance. Provides a template for the auditing or maintenance management departments through the aide memoir.
