This book was released on 2021-11-11 with total page 479 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Policy-makers often call for expanding public spending on infrastructure, which includes a broad range of investments from roads and bridges to digital networks that will expand access to high-speed broadband. Some point to near-term macro-economic benefits and job creation, others focus on long-term effects on productivity and economic growth. This volume explores the links between infrastructure spending and economic outcomes, as well as key economic issues in the funding and management of infrastructure projects. It draws together research studies that describe the short-run stimulus effects of infrastructure spending, develop new estimates of the stock of U.S. infrastructure capital, and explore the incentive aspects of public-private partnerships (PPPs). A salient issue is the treatment of risk in evaluating publicly-funded infrastructure projects and in connection with PPPs. The goal of the volume is to provide a reference for researchers seeking to expand research on infrastructure issues, and for policy-makers tasked with determining the appropriate level of infrastructure spending"--

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a broad overview of asset management processes for different utilities, with a special emphasis on energy and water. It provides readers with important practical considerations concerning the development of new competitive structures and procedures for guaranteeing a sufficient supply of energy and water in a regulated environment, using clearly defined technical and economic cornerstones. On the one hand, asset owners expect suitable interests from their investment and business growth; on the other hand, regulators focus more on a reliable and cost-effective customer supply. This book shows how to take into consideration these different perspectives in the process of designing new structures, and how to guarantee organizational transparency. It describes essential principles and boundary conditions for ensuring the optimal use of resources in a network, covering issues relating to equipment service life, IT landscape and computer programs, operational costs management, and investment and maintenance strategies, highlighting their impact on the organization of the company. This thoroughly revised and updated second edition, includes extensive information about IEC standard (IEC/TS 63060), and cover operation research methods focusing on the optimization of the maintenance tasks. Furthermore, a discussion on the political environment has been included, with a special emphasis on the European situation and the “Green Deal”: specifically, some measures to cope with the topic of energy transition are presented. Last, but not least, a brand-new chapter on condition assessment has been included.

Download or read book Asset Valuation written by Zaid Alyami and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Asset valuation is an essential component of effective asset management. It is an important method to demonstrate proper management of public assets and effective utilization of government's budgets. Several government regulatory bodies mandate agencies to report their Tangible Capital Assets' (TCA) values within their annual statement. For example, the Canadian Public Sector Accounting Board (PSAB), the Governmental Accounting Standard Board (GASB) and the New Zealand International Financial Reporting Standards (NZ IFRS), to name a few. Although some limited research has been conducted on incorporating asset value into asset management systems, there is no comprehensive work done to date to incorporate asset valuation in asset management. An integration method is imperative to manage assets in the most optimized cost-effective ways while maintaining or enhancing the value of these assets. Integrating asset value in asset management strengthens the asset management framework by integrating financial and engineering reporting. In addition, agencies have traditionally made investment decisions for individual assets separately. Independent management systems have traditionally been developed to manage assets, in particular pavements and bridges, the two main transportation assets. The lack of integration between management systems may be due to restrictions associated with funding and/or limitations to the agency's ability to compare data objectively across asset types. Deciding how to best allocate limited resources across these various asset classes to provide acceptable performance poses a persistent and difficult challenge for agencies. Asset value holds a great promise to be incorporated in asset management as a performance measure that translates infrastructure condition in monetary terms that can be easily communicated and understood by the stakeholders (agency, policy makers, users, etc.). Therefore, asset value can be viewed as a common performance measure for integration mechanism between competing asset management systems. vi The objective of this research is to develop a methodology that integrates asset value as a performance measure in asset management decision making. This thesis introduces an asset management methodology that aims to arrive at an optimum value-based asset management plan of maintaining infrastructure assets taking into account budgetary and performance constraints. To achieve this objective, an Asset Value Index (AVI) that integrates asset value and value-driver performance measures and associated thresholds and Level of Service (LOS) requirements is proposed. The Multi-Attribute Utility Theory (MAUT) is used to develop the proposed AVI. In order to incorporate asset value in asset management and develop the AVI, a comprehensive and analytical analysis of various asset valuation methods is conducted. Based on the analysis, challenges of incorporating asset management are identified and addressed by the proposed Asset Value Loss ratio (AVL) as an integration means. To demonstrate the proposed methodology, a case study from the Ministry of Transportation of Ontario (MTO) second generation Pavement Management System (PMS2) is presented. An overview of MTO road assets network is presented and analyzed. In addition, the various components of the proposed methodology are demonstrated through the case study. Furthermore, the outcome of the implementation of the proposed AVI is compared to optimization output, Do-Nothing output as well as needs assessment output. Furthermore, building on the proposed methodology presented, a value-based cross asset management methodology is presented using the AVI as a common integration measure. A case study of pavements and bridges based on data obtained from the 7th International Conference of Managing Pavement Assets (ICMPA 7) is used to illustrate the proposed methodology.

This book was released on 2012-11-08 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ​Engineering and infrastructure assets maintain the lifeline of economies. It is, therefore, critical to manage these assets in such a way that they provide a consistent level of service throughout their lifecycle. Management of asset lifecycle, however, is information intensive and utilises a plethora of information systems. The role of theses systems in asset management is much more profound. It extends beyond the organizational boundaries and addresses business relationships with external stakeholders to deliver enhanced level of business outcomes. In doing so information systems are not only required to translate business strategic considerations into action, but are also expected to produce learnings and feedback that informs business strategy and aids in strategic reorientation.
