  • Infrastructure Asset Management Plan 1 Introduction
    APPENDIX B Infrastructure Asset Management Plan 1 Introduction This document, along with the asset register submitted in MS Excel format, provides a list of the infrastructure assets employed for providing public sector services in Nauru and summarizes the results of infrastructure asset condition and capacity assessments, performed by a joint team of PRIF consultants and the Government of Nauru (GON) infrastructure asset managers. This report should be read in conjunction with the following documents, where relevant information related to infrastructure asset management framework, public sector service level targets, and investment prioritization criteria are documented: • Policy for the Development of Nauru Infrastructure Asset Management Framework • Nauru Infrastructure Service Delivery Review (NISDR) • Nauru Integrated Infrastructure Sector Strategy (NIISS) • Infrastructure Asset Management Procedures • Infrastructure Asset Maintenance Guide • Infrastructure Condition Assessment Guide • Infrastructure Cost Estimating Guide • Project Prioritization Criteria and Process. The infrastructure assets covered by this report include all public sector assets in Nauru: • buildings • roads • airstrip and navigation aids • wharfs and boat ramps • telecommunication plant • waste water treatment plant • solid waste management assets • coastal protection assets • heavy duty and light duty motor vehicles • motor boats • electricity water and fuel storage assets. Nauru Utilities Corporation (NUC) prepared an infrastructure asset register and developed an asset condition methodology in 2015, covering the electricity, water, and fuel storage assets, under a separate ADB-sponsored Technical Assistance (TA) project. Therefore, to avoid duplication of work, condition assessment of electricity, water, and fuel storage infrastructure assets was not performed, but the results of the asset condition assessment undertaken by the ADB-sponsored TA project were used in preparing the investment project pipeline and prioritizing investments.
