A physical component of a facility which has value,enables services to be provided and has an economic life of greater than 12 months. Dynamic assets have some moving parts, while passive assets have none. IIMM
An asset is an object (physical or intangible) that has an identifiable value and a useful life greater than 12 months, that is or could be used by the entity responsible for it to provide a service. LGAM
Asset - An item with an independent physical and functional identity and age, within a facility (e.g. pump, motor, sedimentation tank, main). Asset - Service potential or future economic benefits controlled by entity as a result of past transactions or other past events. DERM
An Asset Condition Inspection is an inspection carried out on an asset to determine its condition.
Types of inspections:
There are two main types of asset condition inspections.
- Defect / hazard inspections designed to determine the need for maintenance and/or temporary works.
- More detailed overall asset condition inspections designed to assess the overall condition of an asset and determine its remaining useful life.
Defect / hazard inspections are typically carried out on a more frequent basis than overall asset condition inspections, but in both cases the inspection frequency may depend on the classification of the asset within a hierarchy. LGAM
The defined service quality for a particular activity (i.e. roading) or service area (i.e. streetlighting) against which service performance may be measured. Service levels usually relate to quality, quantity, reliability, responsiveness, environmental acceptability and cost. IIMM
The period from the acquisition of the asset to the time when the asset, while physically able to provide a service, ceases to be the lowest cost alternative to satisfy a particular level of service. The economic life is at the maximum when equal to the physical life, however obsolescence will often ensure that the economic life is less than the physical life. IIMM
The Economic Life of an asset is the length of time for which maintaining and operating the asset remains the lowest cost alternative for providing a nominated level of service. LGAM
The period over which an asset is expected to be economically useable by one or more users or the number of production or similar units expected to be obtained from the asset by one or more users. AIFMG 2009
The defined service quality for a particular activity (i.e. roading) or service area (i.e. streetlighting) against which service performance may be measured. Service levels usually relate to quality, quantity, reliability, responsiveness, environmental acceptability and cost.
IIMM
"Level of Service" can be defined as the service quality for a given activity. Levels of Service are often documented as a commitment to carryout a given action or actions within a specified time frame in response to an event or asset condition data.
LGAM
An organisation such as a Local Council that is responsible for the management of infrastructure assets in a defined local area.
The Remaining Useful Life (RUL) of an asset is the estimated length of time remaining before it will need to be replaced.The Remaining Useful Life (RUL) of an asset is the estimated length of time remaining before it will need to be replaced.
LGAM
A risk is the probability of a failure of an asset as a result of the occurrence of a hazard. There may be a resulting cost associated with the risk.
A system supplying a public need such as transport, communications, or utilities such as electricity and water.
An organisation responsible for providing a service.
The defined service quality for a particular activity (i.e. roading) or service area (i.e. streetlighting) against which service performance may be measured. Service levels usually relate to quality, quantity, reliability, responsiveness, environmental acceptability and cost.
