When it comes to infrastructure preservation projects, owners and managers are faced with difficult decisions regarding how and when maintenance and repairs must be executed. Deterioration of structures often occurs gradually and some degradation mechanisms can remain undetected for years.
The increasing financial constraints, the growing maintenance deficit, and the extensive backlog of repairs continue to challenge owners and managers from all sides as they are asked to cut costs, privatize operations, outsource responsibilities, reduce maintenance, and increase efficiency. These challenges are exacerbated by the lack of usable information and knowledge relating to maintenance, repair, and service-life prediction techniques to assist in making the most efficient decisions regarding inspection, maintenance, repair, and reconstruction to ensure the preservation of their infrastructure.
