  3. The challenge of infrastructure management: Scene settingPaul Sayers and Geoff BaxterInternational workshop to discuss the science of asset management9th December 2011

  4. A world wide challenge Effective and efficient infrastructure management presents many problems: • Flood control systems are complex combinations of levees, pumps, dams, channels etc • Future change – climate, deterioration and land use influence risk • Budgets are limited – requiring prioritisation and is required ($2.2 trillion to fix, US – Steve Stockton, £20 billion sunk investment, England and Wales)

  5. Some difficult science questions…. A range of spatial and temporal scales of interest What are the national… How will the system... How will an asset… • Hot spots? • Investment need? • How might these change ? • Perform now and in the future? • Which assets contribute most to risk? • Perform under load or on demand? • Improve or deteriorate with/without action?

  6.
