The management of physical assets (design, selection, maintenance, inspection and renewal) plays a key role in determining the operational performance and value of the road network.

We appreciate that Asset Management is the art and science of making the right decisions, at the right time, and optimising these processes. Our objective is to minimise the whole life cost of assets, whilst balancing other critical factors such as risk or business continuity.

Our Asset Management Teams ensure the optimal management of physical assets and their life cycles. The teams operate a cross-disciplinary collaborative approach to achieve the best value-for-money in the selection, design, operation, maintenance and renewal of the physical infrastructure.

The teams manage network information, undertake network inspections, develop outline solutions to problems, and work with the Highways Agency via the Value Management process to identify the optimum replacement time for assets reaching the end of their economical life.
