Asset surveying, Manchester, UKAsset
management describes the activities which underpin the provision
and operation of infrastructure-based services. In the water
industry this includes the whole asset lifecycle, from identifying
current and future service needs, procuring the assets and
operating them, to managing the service they deliver and
decommissioning them at the end of their useful life. Where
infrastructure assets are in place and the level of service well
established, asset managers tend to turn their attention to
maintaining the service at the lowest overall cost.
