Winning the Infrastructure Management ‘Game’ – Lessons from the Rugby World Cup, Superbowl, and NBA

Infrastructure Management, Rugby World Cup, Superbowl, NBA

We don’t want to be the guy on the right slide here, right? The thing is that engineers have too many parameters and they struggle to communicate those parameters to decision-makers. What we want to be is like Dr. Scotty from Star Trek on the left-hand side of the picture there. Where when he was in a crisis he gives clear succinct replies to the captain about what could and couldn’t be done … [Read more...]

Communicating Infrastructure Management Issues and dTIMS Modeling

dTIMS model infrastructure asset management

I guess that’s about what the dTIMS modeling and this conference are all about. It’s about that optimization of expenditure but we all know that we can get away with under-investing for a while and then it shows up and then it’ll create a less than optimal expenditure profile going forward. So coming back to our question at the start of this discussion on the money side of things is how to … [Read more...]

US Infrastructure Spend and the Impact of the Recession

infrastructure spending

Coming back to US infrastructure, Long Term Spend of GDP, % of GDP. This is the Congressional Budget Office figures again. Looks pretty good, doesn’t it? The percentage of infrastructure has stayed pretty steady from the 1950s through to 2011.

How the Recession Affected Infrastructure Funding of New Zealand

infrastructure asset management

Just coming back to that New Zealand diagram, we’ve looked at that right at the start of the talk during the big recession that "Last one out turn off the lights" recession back in the late 1980s, we had the situation where our consumption of fixed capital infrastructure was higher than our expenditure.

So, moving on to the third part of this discussion today, we are going to talk about money and the impact of money and finance on infrastructure management and acquisition.

Risk Management – How a Water Utility Incident in Walkerton Canada Influenced Infrastructure Management Practice in New Zealand

walkerton canada water utility infrastructure management

In Walkerton in Canada, in 2000, there was a water supply incident and seven people died and half the town was ill. At the end of the day, there’s a big report about that by the Canadian authorities and it was criminal negligence that caused the problem. At the end of the day, people went to prison for it.

Explaining the “Levels of Service-Cost-Risk Diagram” through Analyzing the Flint Water Crisis

flint water crisis inframanage.com

That’s a bit like a… I guess a congressional inquiry, that sort of thing in the US. And what we recognized is that there're 3 … [Read more...]
