Kotsakiachidis, Ioannis (author)Road networks play a crucial role in economic and sustainable growth, but they face challenges such as traffic loads, drainage, and secondary road works. Climate change poses risks, such as structural damage and vulnerability to extreme weather. The Dutch government has emphasized the importance of climate adaptation in road maintenance policies...master thesis 2023

den Heijer, F. (author), Podt, Maarten (author), Bosch-Rekveldt, M.G.C. (author), de Leeuw, Annemargreet (author), Rijke, Jeroen (author)Flood defences are often situated in public spaces and are mostly multi-functional, multi-financed and multi-managed. Cooperation in flood defence asset management is important because roles and responsibilities are fragmented within and between organisations. This complex context calls for mutual understanding from responsible role-holders....journal article 2023

den Heijer, F. (author), Rijke, Jeroen (author), Bosch-Rekveldt, M.G.C. (author), de Leeuw, Annemargreet (author), Barciela Rial, M. (author)Flood defences are in practice often multi-used, multi-managed and multi-financed. Flood defence asset management contains technical, organizational and spatial complex issues involving multiple organizations. In the literature, little attention has been given to the conditions for successful cooperation between organizations in flood defence...journal article 2023

Azad, Hamza (author)Rijkswaterstaat’s Storm Surge Barriers are expensive assets providing economic value with the expectation of future returns. The maintenance is executed by the asset management department, which aims at maximizing operability without sacrificing safety and reliability. However, regular maintenance becomes more stringent as circumstances change,...master thesis 2022

Klerk, W.J. (author)Many countries rely on flood defence systems to prevent economic damage and loss-of-life due to catastrophic floods. Asset managers of flood defence systems need to cope with the consequences of structural degradation, and changing societal and environmental conditions, in order to satisfy performance requirements and optimize societal value of...doctoral thesis 2022

Meijer, D.H. (author), Post, Johan (author), van der Hoek, J.P. (author), Korving, Hans (author), Langeveld, J.G. (author), Clemens, F.H.L.R. (author)Drinking water distribution networks (WDNs) are a crucial infrastructure for life in cities. Deterioration of this ageing, and partly hidden from view, infrastructure can result in losses due to leakage and an increased contamination risk. To counteract this, maintenance strategies are required to maintain the service level. Information on...journal article 2021

Petersson, Louise (author), ten Veldhuis, Marie-claire (author), Verhoeven, Govert (author), Kapelan, Z. (author), Maholi, Innocent (author), Winsemius, H.C. (author)In this paper we demonstrate a framework for urban flood modeling with community mapped data, particularly suited for flood risk management in data-scarce environments. The framework comprises three principal stages: data acquisition with survey design and quality assurance, model development and model implementation for flood prediction. We...journal article 2020

Verbruggen, Koen (author)Policymakers and literature have expressed the need for a visual and tangible manner of mapping circular value, the progress towards a fully circular economy and the presence of materials (material passport) in public space. Several initiatives exist for the measurement of circular progress. However, none have explicitly aimed towards the urban...master thesis 2019

van den Boomen, M. (author), Leontaris, G. (author), Wolfert, A.R.M. (author)Ageing public infrastructure assets necessitate economic replacement analysis. A common replacement problem concerns an existing asset challenged by a replacement option. Classic techniques obtained from the domain of engineering economics are the mainstream approach to replacement optimization in practice. However, the validity of these classic...journal article 2019

Noca, Walter (author)Schiphol Airport and Heijmans are working together on the renewal of the Schiphol runways pavements. Currently the top layer is covered with a synthetic antiskid material called ASK. But the strong weather limitations for the installation of this material have opened the door for alternatives. Heijmans has proposed an innovative asphalt mixture...master thesis 2018

Jonkman, Sebastiaan N. (author), Voortman, H.G. (author), Klerk, W.J. (author), van Vuren, S. (author)This article highlights recent developments in flood risk management in the Netherlands and presents approaches for reliability analysis and asset management for flood defences and hydraulic infrastructure. The functioning of this infrastructure is of great importance for the country as large parts of it are prone to flooding. Based on a...journal article 2018

Kulkarni, Raunak (author)Outage scheduling for maintenance in asset management of electrical transmission and distribution system plays an important role in power system reliability. For instance, failure probability of transmission line may change from time to time due to exogenous conditions. Impact of failure or service interruption can be described by using...master thesis 2017

van der Ham, M.F.S. (author), Zlatanova, S. (author), Verbree, E. (author), Voûte, R.L. (author)At the most fundamental level, smart buildings deliver useful building services that make occupants productive. Smart asset management in hostipals starts with knowing the whereabouts of medical equipment. This paper investigates the subject of indoor localization of medical equipment in hospitals by defining functional spaces. In order to...conference paper 2016

Mehairjan, R.P.Y. (author)Presently, maintenance management of assets in infrastructure utilities such as electricity, gas and water are widely undergoing changes towards new working environments. These are mainly driven against the background of stringent regulatory regimes, an ageing asset base, increased customer demands and constrained financial resources. Therefore,...doctoral thesis 2016

Khuntia, S.R. (author), Rueda, José L. (author), Bouwman, S. (author), van der Meijden, M.A.M.M. (author)Asset management is one of the key components in a transforming electric power industry. Electric power industry is undergoing significant changes because of technical, socio-economical and environmental developments. Also, because of restructuring and deregulation, the focus has been on transmission and distribution assets that include...journal article 2016

Bhamidipati, S.K. (author), Van der Lei, T.T.E. (author), Herder, P.M. (author)Physical infrastructures facilitate much of societal and economic wellbeing of countries, regions and urban areas. In our increasingly urbanizing world, infrastructures in urban areas are densely located and interconnected. The effects of this interconnectedness are being studied increasingly, particularly in light of climate change effects. In...journal article 2016

Huibregtse, E. (author), Morales Napoles, O. (author), Hellebrandt, L. (author), Paprotny, D. (author), De Wit, S. (author)This paper presents a risk-based method to quantify climate change effects on road infrastructure, as a support for decision-making on interventions. This can be implemented in climate adaptation plans as an element of asset management. The method is illustrated by a specific case in which traffic on a road network is disrupted by the flooding...journal article 2016

Zhuang, Q. (author)Should risks always be quantified before being managed? The answer is “yes” in the opinion of most asset managers in today’s electricity transmission and distribution companies, but “no” in modern theories of risk management. When the risks refer to reliability hazards of high-voltage assets, the answer to the above question is “yes, it should...doctoral thesis 2015
