Maintenance of Municipal Infrastructure
Publication: Journal of Infrastructure Systems
Volume 4, Issue 4
Abstract
The overall aim of this paper is to work out the guidelines for efficient maintenance planning connected with the basic public utilities. The empirical section acts as a platform for the next section where the economic model is related to the empirical results. It is crucial to emphasize that planning should be carried out in two stages: (1) The fundamental planning problem; and (2) the complementary control problem. First the fundamental planning problem results in a plan where each separate object has a number of combinations of maintenance measures together with a point in time for each measure. In the next stage the resources needed and the budget requirements for each of these combinations is discussed.
