Achieving Lowest Long-Term Cost; Preventing Disasters
Your community deserves reliable, well-designed systems that meet today’s needs and support future growth. Asset Management is a vital tool we use to maximize the value of your infrastructure while minimizing long-term costs and reducing expensive emergency repairs.
Asset Management involves gathering detailed information about your pipes, manholes, roads, and more. By using maps and databases, we track the condition of each asset to plan timely repairs and replacements. Why is this important? It helps prevent costly emergencies and ensures issues are addressed efficiently and cost-effectively. With the right technology and data, we can identify and resolve potential problems before they escalate.
Since 1969, Prein&Newhof has been dedicated to providing master planning and asset management services. We assist clients with asset condition assessments, failure probability analysis, and capital improvement planning. Over the past decade, we’ve completed Stormwater and Wastewater Asset Management (SAW) grant work for 43 asset owners, and drinking water asset management plan projects for 35 more.
To ensure cost-effectiveness, monitoring and maintenance are integrated into standard operating procedures. We provide tools, frameworks, flowcharts, documentation, and staff training to incorporate asset management into everyday workflows. If needed, we also train your team to maintain and expand these practices independently.
We can support public education and communication programs to build community understanding and encourage public buy-in, highlighting the value and long-term savings of responsible maintenance of assets.
While we offer established tools, templates, and programs, we recognize the importance of tailoring them to your staff’s specific needs. Throughout the AMP process, we collaborate closely with you, adapting our approach and tools to achieve your desired outcomes effectively.
