Performance Modelling

 

Performance modelling (also known as condition modelling or deterioration modelling) is a structured approach to determining the future condition and needs of assets including pavements, bridges, utilities and buildings. 

With performance modelling we use structured decision making processes to:

  • Generate appropriate maintenance actions
  • Forecast conditions or outcomes
  • Determine the best combination of treatments and outcomes within various budgets

With a “snapshot” of a client’s asset inventory and condition, we determine the future usage of the asset, and use mathematical relationships to predict the future performance of the asset.  Possible treatments for each asset component or element are tested using engineering-based logic. The resulting strategies are compared in terms of cost and user-defined benefit streams.

The process typically involves the analysis of significant historical data to gain a better understanding of local performance and conditions for a client, and to refine the models or develop new models specific to the asset where necessary.

Mundaring Shire Council, Australia

A desire to improve its pavement performance modelling (PPM) outcomes led the Mundaring Shire Council (MSC) to ask Opus for assistance. Situated due east of Perth, Western Australia, MSC manages 576 kilometres of sealed pavements. The pavements are predominantly thin surfaced flexible, with either a spray seal or asphaltic surfacing.

RoadCare now SRS (Southern Roading Services), Australia

In 2000, RoadCare (a joint venture partnership between the Fulton Hogan Group and Pioneer Road Services) supported by Opus International Consultants, gained two ten-year maintenance contracts from Main Roads Western Australia.

RoadCare - Western Australia PSM Contracts

RoadCare (a joint venture between Fulton Hogan and Pioneer Road Services) has commissioned Opus as its Asset Management Consultant for the management of two Performance Specified Maintenance Contracts (PSMC) involving 4,500km of highway network in Western Australia, including both urban and rural networks. dTIMS is used to develop forward works programs and to determine and calculate maintenance costs for the ten-year period of the contract.
