UK has roads based economy

Supports national and localeconomic development

Ranked 24thin the world for qualityof roads

Legacy of under investment10bn backlog in maintenance

Ageing networks with a significantbacklog of required maintenance

Increasing public expectations asthe public are increasingly informedand demanding

Increased accountability tocustomers and funding providers

Insufficient investment has animpact on: The asset owner

The public

The economy Investment needs to be efficient &

sustainable

CT 4.1 Gestion du patrimoine routierIncreased investment

Government investing 6bn in next 5years in road maintenance for

Highways Agency

Removal of annualisation of funding

for Highways AgencyLocal roads in England have a similar

settlement

Other UK road authorities considering

similar investment

At a strategic level in England the case for

investment has been made for the Highways

Agency & local roads

asset management principles

Agreement on an asset management approach but

implementation remains a challenge


9/27


CT 4.1 Gestion du patrimoine routierMaking asset

management work

Government supports the principles of

asset management

Asset management is the key enabler

to ensure effective and efficient

outcomes are achieved

Standards and guidance available but each authority adopts largely

its own approach

This has potential to create inefficiency

Highways Maintenance Efficiency

Programme is addressing these issues


10/27


CT 4.1 Gestion du patrimoine routierA common framework

Common challenges: Understanding the asset &

its performance

Making the right strategic

& tactical investment

decisions

Getting buy-in from senior

decision makers

Adopting the right

procurement model


11/27


CT 4.1 Gestion du patrimoine routierAsset knowledge

Good investment decisions rely on the right knowledge

appropriate data and information must be used

This must be used to develop appropriate and affordable

levels of service and maintenance standards

Must be accessible in appropriate levels of organisation

The Highways Agency are acquiring high quality, reliable,

repeatable and accurate data on all assets to support

investment and manage risk

Data(network,

condition etc)

Information(budgets, unit

rates etc)

Investment planning is used to demonstrate

maintenance need and obtain investment/funding

Schemes identified based on data from the asset

management system adopting a bottom up

approach

Consequently risk of dis-connect between

investment strategy and scheme development

CT 4.1 Gestion du patrimoine routierOperational delivery

Tangible benefits of asset

management will ultimately bedelivered by investing in the right

schemes

Good asset management is only

as good as the schemes that are

ultimately delivered

Treatment selection is often

driven by commercial behaviours

rather than good asset

management

In the UK the model for road

maintenance varies but istending towards a performance

based approach for routine

maintenance particularly for

Highways Agency.

In the UK DBFOs (PFIs) are

performance based but may

not deliver long term value for

money gold plated.

Risk is for asset managementperformance largely transferred

such as DBFOs.
