The Common Framework for Capital Maintenance Planning has been
the catalyst for the UK industry to develop its thinking on asset
management and risk. However, Ofwat in particular expects the
risk-based approach for assessing future capital maintenance
requirements to be better developed for PR09. To achieve this aim,
the development of asset information strategies and the ability to
link intervention options to serviceability risk is key.
Mott MacDonald has supported a number of water companies in the
implementation of a Common Framework approach to capital
maintenance planning. The service we offer spans from strategic
advice on investment planning processes and integration of relevant
systems, through to the development of asset performance models and
investment plans.
We help develop successful asset and risk management solutions
because we work closely with our clients to gain familiarity with
their business processes, drivers and customer service objectives.
We understand that it is the people and processes that ensure
successful delivery of competent strategies. However, the
strategies need to be supported by asset information systems to
provide the data and planning tools necessary to inform robust
investment.
