Abstract:

Targets for the condition and performance of water supply networks can be formulated from quantitative needs as well as from the demand for the quality and reliability of drinking water networks. To reach these objectives, a public or semi-public utility needs to invest in system maintenance and rehabilitation. For the system analyst it is difficult to give specific action threshold values for each indicator describing the network performance. Preferences differ and interdependencies between criteria do not allow, by conventional scoring models, determination of those projects which are the most efficient. Another method is presented for ranking rehabilitation projects according to multiple criteria with respect to efficiency. The development of the procedure and its implementation in software is part of a research project funded by Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG).

Abstract:

This paper reports on the results of a survey conducted for the Federation of Canadian Municipalities on the condition of urban infrastructure in Canadian cities and towns. The major emphasis was on roads, bridges, sewage collection and treatment, and water distribution and treatment systems. The Canadian findings are also compared with the reported U.S. situation. Although not as serious as in the U.S. cities, the survey shows that a significant decline has occurred in the condition of some infrastructure systems in Canadian urban areas. Costs to bring the most seriously deteriorated components of infrastructure (roads, bridges, sewer and water systems) back to acceptable levels are high. Even when spread over a 10-year recovery period, these costs will require an increase in current public works budgets of about 25%.Following the discussion of the state of urban infrastructure in Canada, the paper addresses approaches necessary to obtain optimum value for funds spent on rehabilitation of infrastructure. The need for rehabilitation must distinguish between structural and capacity inadequacies. Alternatives for rehabilitation must include both the engineering alternatives through repair, renovation, and replacement of systems and the management alternatives obtained through operational changes in the system and through changes in system demands. It is both desirable and possible to select engineering and (or) management alternatives on the basis of economic evaluations which trade off the cost of rehabilitation alternatives against the benefits from performance improvements, including the time staging or sequencing of alternatives. Key words: urban infrastructure, infrastructure deterioration, rehabilitation, alternatives, alternative evaluation.

Abstract:

Abstract Metropolitan governments and water operators are continuously facing the ever-growing challenges of evaluating the risks and optimizing investment in the rehabilitation of the buried aging infrastructure of water distribution systems (WDS). Proper asset management and efficient rehabilitation planning require monitoring, condition assessment, degradation risk analysis and a data-based model for degradation forecasting to support investment decision-making and significantly reduce the infrastructure rehabilitation cost. This paper presents a statistical and stochastic spatial data analysis of failure records of the WDS of the City of Wattrelos, France. The research objective is to develop and demo-illustrate the application of an operator's experience-based Risk Assessment Method (RAM) for network micro-zone prioritization of rehabilitation/replacement works to optimize preemptive asset management. The data used is a 74-year historical dataset from Wattrelos, France. The database includes approximately 424 observed failures for the period of 1991–2004. The data analysis demonstrates that understanding and using stochastic modeling to characterize the pattern of relationship between Failure Rate (FR), Age (T) and the Probability (or Risk) of exceeding a specific Failure Rate (Pr(FR)) of a micro-zone can effectively support the operator's assessment, risk management and prioritization in the maintenance and rehabilitation of the WDS.

Abstract:

Along with the development of medical science and society needs Kementerian Kesehatan (Kemenkes) released a program in 2017, called JKN or Jaminan Kesehatan Nasional about improvement and build of quality of health infrastructure. Based on that program Kementrian Kesehatan expects the distribution of health facilities in each region. In Banjarmasin, rehabilitative health facilities is still not enough qualitatively and quantitatively, one of the rehabilitation health facilities is a medical rehabilitation facility. Medical rehabilitation’s patients in Banjarmasin hospitals always increase, so that hospital services become less than optimal, therefore additional outpatient services are needed through the clinic In reality amount of medical rehabilitation clinics are still not spread in Banjarmasin and the quality of clinics in Banjarmasin has not fulfilled the requirements of the physical environment where the physical environment is the biggest factor that affects the healing process. The healing environment approach is used as a method and concept of problem-solving. The method used is to determine and analyze the facts from the medical rehabilitation service, then applying the healing environment aspect to space, both internal and external space. The healing environment aspect consists of nature, senses, and psychology.

Abstract:

The railway infrastructure has very specific constraints that lead to the need of maximizing of the availability of infrastructure, with high levels of safety and quality, associated with an optimized cost. Having said this, it is essential to understand the methods behind the inspection and monitoring of existing railway infrastructures, the way of processing their data, as well as existing rehabilitation solutions. The present work begins with a brief description of the components of the ballast track and its operation, the different types of actions to which it is subjected to and the degradation mechanisms at the level of the ballast layer, substructure and transition zones, with particular attention being given to the latter since it is a section of the road with singularities that lead to a more pronounced degradation. The rehabilitation solutions addressed in this work start from a slight attack of the road (which can be considered as a small intervention) until a complete renovation of the road with reinforcement of the foundation. Based on the previously mentioned concepts, it is possible to define which variables, criteria and respective weights are more important and influence the investment decision (on the rehabilitation of the railway infrastructure), thus enabling the methodologies of multi-criteria analysis applied to these variables. Currently, the economic factor is one of the variables that influence the most in decision making due to the lack of investment capacity. Mainly because of this factor and sometimes even without performing an analysis, one of the common practices is the restriction of circulation velocity rather than maintenance or rehabilitation measures. The case study used is an excerpt from a railroad in Portugal, where the entire described process will be applied and consequently analysed. Therefore, this work intends to contribute to a more efficient planning of the railway maintenance and rehabilitation measures, based on a better use of the data resulting from the track inspection, through a multi-criteria analysis.

Abstract:

Building measures in sewer systems are increasingly driven by rehabilitation/retrofitting and adaptation needs. Aging infrastructure together with changing boundary conditions (due to climate change, land-use change, demographic change) and also changing design standards and legislation require a prospective design to preserve the functionality of urban drainage systems not only today, but also in a long-term perspective. To improve a prospective design of urban water infrastructure, the Austrian Research Promotion Agency funded the research project ‘REHAB – Integrated planning of rehabilitation strategies of urban infrastructure systems’. Therein a novel strategic planning tool which considers these external drivers of rehabilitation strategies is developed. In this study the scope of the project is described and, as well as first results regarding sewer pipe conditions, future development and vulnerability assessment are also discussed.

Abstract:

Operation, maintenance and rehabilitation comprise the main concerns of wastewater infrastructure asset management. Given the nature of the service provided by a wastewater system and the characteristics of the supporting infrastructure, technical issues are relevant to support asset management decisions. In particular, in densely urbanized areas served by large, complex and aging sewer networks, the sustainability of the infrastructures largely depends on the implementation of an efficient asset management system. The efficiency of such a system may be enhanced with technical decision support tools. This paper describes the role of artificial intelligence tools such as artificial neural networks and support vector machines for assisting the planning of operation and maintenance activities of wastewater infrastructures. A case study of the application of this type of tool to the wastewater infrastructures of Sistema de Saneamento da Costa do Estoril is presented.

Abstract:

Highway infrastructure represents a significant part of the public assets, and through its lifetime, is exposed to various deterioration processes leading to the depreciation of its value. It is therefore of vital importance to manage these assets aiming to reduce the loss of their value with time to a minimum. A typical task of road managers is making decisions related to maintenance, repair and rehabilitation based on data regarding the existing condition, risk of its use, life cycle costs and age. Road infrastructure is complex, and therefore the optimal choice of planned interventions is a delicate task often left to the road managers’ subjective judgment. The main goal of research work presented in the paper is the development of a multiple criteria decision support system to determine the priority ranking of asset rehabilitation projects. Results are presented for a selected case study that consists of 27 overpasses for a highway section. The data on the condition of crossovers obtained by regular inspection along their contribution to a structured database are essential. The selection of the set of asset rehabilitation projects is carried out by using the developed decision support system that includes the budget constraint option. The selected set of asset maintenance/rehabilitation projects meets best the pre‐defined combination of several criteria and therefore yields the maximized overall benefit. The results showing the selection criteria employed in the decision process and relative importance are crucial in obtaining the targeted goals. The selected criteria should therefore reflect the needs of the users and the actual conditions related to the assets.

Abstract:

The Northeast region of Nigeria has been experiencing the devastating impact of Boko Haram insurgencysince 2009, which triggeredhumanitarian crisis and destruction of infrastructure,such as schools, hospitals, roads, bridges as well as homes and farmlands, leading to many becoming internally displaced persons and refugees. Both governmental and non-governmental organizations have been mostly providing relief services and materials, whilst only few Federal Government agencies and State Governmentsare providing reconstruction and rehabilitation due to insufficient sources of funds(Olaseni, 2012).The emergence of Sukuk to Nigerian Capital Market is a new development that provides alternative funding avenue for both State and Federal Governments to finance projects and infrastructure development for nation building (Alaro, 2020).It is against this backdrop that this study aims to reviewthe approaches of financing rehabilitation and reconstruction programmes in the Northeast and examines how the potentials ofSukuk financing could properly be utilized to complement the infrastructural deficit in the region. Thus, the research is an exploratory qualitative research that sourced cross sectional primary data collected through the use of structured questionnaire. Multistage purposive sampling method was employed in selecting the respondents for the study across the study area. Thematic Analysis was employed as the method of data analysis. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were used to summarize and interpret the results of the thematic analyses of the data obtained.Keywords: North-East, Reconstruction, Rehabilitation and Sukuk Financing

Abstract:

Transportation infrastructure is one of the largest consumers of natural materials. To improve the environmental quality and sustainable development of transportation infrastructure, it is important to implement sustainable strategies in pavement construction and rehabilitation. The use of recycled materials is a key element in generating sustainable pavement designs to save natural resources, reduce energy, greenhouse gas emissions, and costs. The objective of this study was to propose a methodology for assessing the environmental and economic life-cycle benefits when using recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) materials in highway projects. Previous studies on life cycle analysis (LCA) using RAP focused on the economics and/or environmental impacts during the material production process. Thus, there is a need to consider sustainability analysis at all stages of construction and rehabilitation during the performance period of pavement structures. This study addresses this need with the proposed methodology. The suggested approach could be potentially implemented in a pavement management system (PMS) so as to introduce sustainability principles in optimizing alternative rehabilitation strategies. The methodology includes various steps for the analysis, starting with condition assessment of the existing highway, identifying alternative structural pavement designs, predicting service life, setting up alternative rehabilitation strategies, and conducting life cycle environmental and economic analysis. To demonstrate the value of the methodology, a comparative parametric study was conducted on two real case study projects representing actual field conditions for primary roads in Maryland. These case studies were used in order to quantify the economic savings and environmental benefits of using different levels of RAP in highway rehabilitation. The results of the analysis indicate that incorporating RAP in pavement rehabilitation can contribute substantially to cost savings and environmental impact reduction (e.g., greenhouse gas emission, energy, water, and hazardous waste). The benefits illustrated in this study are expected to encourage wide adoption of the proposed methodology and the use of recycled materials in highway construction and rehabilitation. The methodology is transferable where similar materials and highway construction techniques are used.

Abstract:

Flooding is an obstacle for water infrastructure which installed in a river system in Ciliwung, West Java, Indonesia. The climate change triggers unpredictable rainfall which occurs in the watershed, therefore the vulnerability of river and other infrastructures are alarming. The rehabilitation and maintenance strategies are needed to make water infrastructures in the river system obtain lower damage. The research aims to simulate the 2-D HEC-RAS modelling of river system and stability. The result produces the water level of the river even in 1000-year discharge flood. Also, the research proposes the earth embankment dam for flood reduction in the watershed. The dam is designed according to the ideal condition. The simulation of HEC-RAS shows that the river experiences flooding in a certain condition. Besides, the research concludes that designed dam could overcome the flooding problem and suitable strategy for water infrastructure maintenance towards flooding impacts. Further investigation towards soil data for designed dam should be further analyzed to obtain better and comprehensive understanding.

Abstract:

Year of infrastructure is the Central Java Provincial Government’s policy since 2014 which is expected to improve the condition of infrastructure, particularly roads. Through qualitative method, this research focused on the meaning of infrastructure year and its impact.The result showed that the year of the infrastructure is the policy of increasing budget allocations for rehabilitation and construction of roads through budget of Central Java. The result of the policy is better roads conditions. The success of the infrastructure year was supported by the commitment of parliaments in budgeting process and ability of local governments to implement all activities.

Abstract:

Summary Objectives: To discuss the advantages and disadvantages of rehabilitation applications of virtual reality. Methods: VR can be used as an enhancement to conventional therapy for patients with conditions ranging from musculo-skeletal problems, to stroke-induced paralysis, to cognitive deficits. This approach is called “VR-augmented rehabilitation.” Alternately, VR can replace conventional interventions altogether, in which case the rehabilitation is “VR-based.” If the intervention is done at a distance, then it is called “telerehabilitation.” Simulation exercises for post-stroke patients have been developed using a “teacher object” approach or a video game approach. Simulations for musculo-skeletal patients use virtual replicas of rehabilitation devices (such as rubber ball, power putty, peg board). Phobia-inducing virtual environments are prescribed for patients with cognitive deficits. Results: VR-augmented rehabilitation has been shown effective for stroke patients in the chronic phase of the disease. VR-based rehabilitation has been improving patients with fear of flying, Vietnam syndrome, fear of heights, and chronic stroke patients. Telerehabilitation interventions using VR have improved musculo-skeletal and post-stroke patients, however less data is available at this time. Conclusions: Virtual reality presents significant advantages when applied to rehabilitation of patients with varied conditions. These advantages include patient motivation, adaptability and variability based on patient baseline, transparent data storage, online remote data access, economy of scale, reduced medical costs. Challenges in VR use for rehabilitation relate to lack of computer skills on the part of therapists, lack of support infrastructure, expensive equipment (initially), inadequate communication infrastructure (for telerehabilitation in rural areas), and patient safety concerns.

Abstract:

Managing the rehabilitation of co-located infrastructure assets (pavements, pipelines, culverts, etc.) has become a major challenge for municipalities due to the varying rehabilitation requirements of these assets and the need for better coordination of rehabilitation works. Yet, most of the existing fund-allocation methods are not structured to address co-located infrastructure rehabilitation work in a systematic manner. This paper, therefore, extends the enhanced benefit-cost analysis (EBCA) optimization method that was developed earlier for a single asset type, to the case of co-located assets. The extended EBCA approach arrives at near-optimum funding decisions by achieving an equilibrium state at which fair and equitable allocations are made among all asset categories. Using a real case study consisting of bridges and culverts co-located in the right of way of a pavement network along with two different implementation strategies, EBCA proved to be able to arrive at near-optimum fund-allocations supported with a credible economic justification.

Abstract:

Workspace conflicts are one of the important problems that can delay construction activities, reduce productivity, or cause accidents that threaten the safety of workers. Workspace planning is particularly important in the case of large infrastructure projects, such as bridge construction, and rehabilitation projects where equipment with complex workspace requirement is required. This paper aims to extend the previous research on workspace representation and analysis in the case of large infrastructure projects focusing on the following issues: (i) specific representation of equipment workspaces using composite shapes, (ii) semiautomatic generation and analysis of workspaces, and (iii) development of a prototype system that can generate workspaces and detect spatiotemporal conflicts in a three-dimensional environment. The computational aspects of the proposed approach are discussed and demonstrated through the development of a prototype system, which has been applied in a case study of the deck replacement of Jacques Cartier Bridge in Montréal.Key words: workspace analysis, spatiotemporal conflicts, construction equipment, infrastructure projects, bridge redecking, constructive solid geometry.

Abstract:

This paper discusses the basic concepts involved in infrastructure, durability, and sustainability. At present, infrastructure facilities are designed and constructed on the basis of direct costs only, without explicit consideration of maintenance and depreciation over its service life as in other industries. Proper design, operation, and management of infrastructure must deal with every facet of its service life, ranging from conception, feasibility studies, design, construction, operation, maintenance, repair and rehabilitation, and finally decommissioning and disposal of the system after it has outlived its useful life. Every step of these considerations must be guided by overall socioeconomic and environmental concerns; in summary, they must be guided by the principles of sustainable development, which embrace the issue of embodied energy in the materials, construction, and both initial and recurring maintenance. The degradation of the performance of Canada's infrastructure over the past few decades is reviewed, along with the consequences of proper or deferred maintenance and their impact on Canada's infrastructure deficit. The roles of the civil engineering profession, including education and training, and those of the public and private sectors are discussed briefly.Key words: depreciation, design, deterioration assessment, durability, durability audits, infrastructure surveys, maintenance, life-cycle performance and costs, repair and rehabilitation, sustainability.

Abstract:

AbstractThe rehabilitation of essential services infrastructure following hostilities, whether during a conflict or post-conflict, is a complex undertaking. This is made more complicated in protracted conflicts due to the continuing cycle of damage and expedient repair amid changing demands. The rehabilitation paradigm that was developed for the successful post-World War II rehabilitation of Germany and Japan has been less successful since. There are a myriad of conflicting interests that impede its application, yet the issue consistently comes down to a lack of systems-level understanding of the current situation on the ground and a lack of alignment between what is delivered and the actual local need. This article proposes a novel conceptual framework to address this, affording a greater “system of systems” understanding of the local essential services and how they can be restored to reflect the changed needs of the local population that has itself been changed by the conflict. The recommendations draw on heuristic practice and commercially available tools to provide a practicable approach to restoring infrastructure function in order to enable essential services that are resilient to temporary returns to violence and support the overall rehabilitation of the affected community.
