Infrastructure Management

Here is every concept you need to successfully manage infrastructure facilitiesÑfrom roads and bridges to airports and sports complexes. This sure-fire guide shows you how to identify infrastructure needs throughout the service life of a facility...and offers a framework for infrastructure management which integrates all planning, design, construction, maintenance, rehabilitation, and renovation issues. You'll find methods for database management, data collection, performance monitoring, quality control in design and construction, life-cycle analysis, and more.
