2018-08-07 S&O Agenda - Att 1 to Item 1 - Draft Bridges Asset Management Plan

7. Plan Improvement and Monitoring
7.1    Status of Asset Management Practices
Currently all Asset Management activities are managed within the Noosa Council Asset
Management Governance Framework and enabled through Technology One (T1) asset information
management system.


7.2    Improvement Program
The following initiatives are recommended:

1.    Asset Inventory – Componentisation –
      Ensure that there is one single asset register/hierarchy that captures all parent and child assets
      required; at a level of the lowest or appropriate repairable unit. All other duplicated asset
      lists/registers should be eliminated. The T1 is the Enterprise Asset Management Repository.
      Prior to the revaluation, it is recommended a detailed asset register and data reconciliation
      project establishes a single point of truth for asset data within T1.

2.    Condition Assessments – Consideration for more detailed and regular condition
      assessments, to include all component and sub-component assets of the bridges. Condition
      assessments for the underwater infrastructure should be incorporated in future condition
      inspection routines. Condition assessments should also utilise the standard template to ensure
      both maintenance and renewal activities are developed. The Bridge Working Group are
      currently developing a cyclic Level 2 & 3 bridge inspection priority program that will be over a
      number of years. There is a current list of bridges that are being addressed for inspection over
      the next 12 months and is listed at Annex G.

3.    Workforce Continuity - there is a specialist team within the organisation that is responsible
      for the operations of bridges, the continuity beyond the current workforce must be considered
      over the next 3 to 5 years.

4.    Asset Systems – There is an initial implementation of operational work orders for planned,
      reactive work and inspections to date. There is a number of functions within the T1 system that
      would improve the operational and maintenance activities and as a result further enhance the
      asset management objectives of the organisation. These include:
      i.    Planned maintenance work orders;
      ii.   Costings via work orders;
      iii.  Inspections and defects logged within T1;
      iv.   Asset performance reporting from T1;
      v.    Data capture – asset validation and updating.

5.    Renewal and Maintenance Plans – Plans must be regularly reviewed and incorporated into
      the annual budget process. Continued inspections and recording of asset condition and
      maintenance activities are key to achieving this initiative. This will be a key outcome for the
      Bridge Working Group to regularly review the bridge maintenance and renewal plan. The need
      to develop longer-term maintenance plan beyond a single year is required for more effective
      resource planning.
