Improved Methods for Waterfront Facility Management
Publication: Solutions to Coastal Disasters 2008
Abstract
Agencies in the public and private sectors have attempted to address waterfront facility management by developing various inspection and maintenance programs. Efforts have focused primarily on the evaluation of structural elements, which typically represent the greatest life safety concern. The objectives of this paper are to provide a brief introduction to a broad array of waterfront facility management concepts, and to illustrate how the systematic application of these concepts may assist in minimizing the likelihood of waterfront disasters. The arguably unrecognized importance of performing not only regularly scheduled — but objective and repeatable — condition assessments is also addressed.
