Executive Summary

Following the recommendation of an International Monetary Fund (IMF) report on Irish Public Asset Management in 2017, PMS on behalf of Transport Infrastructure Ireland were tasked with the development of a comprehensive Asset Inventory and related Asset Valuation for the TII Networks. The scope of this project included all components of the TII Road Network, regardless of legal ownership i.e. all roadways and associated roadway assets including land, pavements, structures, ITS, signs, road markings, drainage etc.

The project team consisted of a number of specialist companies to assist in the development of the requisite consultancy services, namely, PMS, Hyperion, Applied Pavement Technology and KPMG. At the beginning of the project, the team undertook a comparative review of asset management practices and methodologies applied in other jurisdictions across Europe, the UK and US in order to develop a ‘best fit’ approach for TII. This review led to the inception of key methodologies applied on this project, particularly in the development of an appropriate structure of inventory data to enable componentisation of assets for effective use in valuation. This enabled an appropriate integration and delivery of financial and functional management objectives as set out in the project brief. Technical notes detailing this early stage work are contained in Appendix C and D.

Throughout an initial data collation phase, a series of meetings and workshops were held with key stakeholders both internal and external to TII. PMS developed a labelling and storage structure for each of the asset types that aligned with TII publication series referencing. As it was a requirement to report all asset types by route, local authority, and subnetwork, it was necessary to geolocate all available asset types where possible and store attributes and spatial information within a universal and recognised format. An ESRI ArcGIS geodatabase which is compatible with TII GIS requirements was developed. A detailed asset register which provides a summary and quantification of asset data sourced and received was compiled and is presented in Appendix A.

Following an extensive data retrieval process, it was found that the level of existing asset information exceeded the original expectations of the project team. Therefore, the focus of the tasks, from an early stage, shifted from that of a data collection and supplementation exercise to primarily a data validation, quality assessment and sampling project. All datasets received were reviewed, converted where necessary and imported to an Asset Inventory ESRI geodatabase for further spatial analysis. ArcGIS was utilised for the mapping and video interface customised by the project team for the purposes of the data validation and review exercise. All asset datasets that contained geospatial reference were aligned to a common linear referencing system, the TII GIS routes model. This enabled a gap analysis and subsequent data sampling, supplementation, and extrapolation exercise to take place. Aligning all data to a common linear reference also enabled data to be reported at the required level of route, subnetwork, and local authority. Chapter 2 details the data processing and quality assessment procedures implemented for the key asset groups.

It was found that various proprietary systems for managing assets exist within the TII organisation. Over 220 different datasets totalling over 500,000 assets were compiled and extracted from multiple data sources and systems. These systems, whilst fulfilling specific departmental asset management objectives, did not necessarily align in a consistent manner when compared with each other. Consequently, it was found that linking or aligning the datasets in their existing state proved difficult without some form of additional intervention or manipulation of data.

Following completion of the asset extraction and quality review, an exercise was undertaken to develop a 3-point scoring model to rate the availability and quality/reliability of asset data collated following the QA analysis, in line with international best practice. Follow up workshops were also held with all key stakeholders from TII to review the asset data received and collated, and to ensure asset data received was the latest and most up to date version at that time.

Page 1 TII Publications AM-GEN-00001 Asset Inventory (Roads) – Summary Report July 2021

To enable an appropriate valuation of assets to take place, all collated data was compiled, reported to excel spreadsheets and uploaded in batches to a sharefile location for valuation by Quantity Surveyor project partners Staveleys. All asset data was georeferenced by route, local authority, and subnetwork. An extrapolation of assets in areas where gaps in data were identified was undertaken using existing representative data and/or data gathered by sampling.

Following completion of the inventory exercise, the project team developed a front-end reporting dashboard for the inventory data using Tableau software, a business intelligence tool used for various dynamic reporting purposes. The dashboards have the capability of reporting assets at various levels such as region, local authority, route, and subnetwork and enable a hierarchy of reporting data to be viewed in both tabular and spatial format. A summary of the Tableau reporting results is presented in Chapter 5. The project team also developed a web portal on ArcGIS online for sharing the asset inventory information.

Numerous challenges were encountered throughout the project, particularly in the data collation and quality assessment phase. Several direct and indirect positive outcomes and benefits were achieved through the development and application of innovative solutions to these challenges encountered. A summary of these challenges and solutions along with lessons learned and way forward is outlined in Chapter 6.

Page 2 TII Publications AM-GEN-00001 Asset Inventory (Roads) – Summary Report July 2021 1. Introduction

PMS on behalf of Transport Infrastructure Ireland were tasked with the development of a comprehensive Asset Inventory and related Asset Valuation for the TII Networks. The following report summarises the work carried out to deliver the Asset Inventory scope, presents the key results or findings and makes recommendations on the next steps and way forward.

1.1 Scope of Work

The scope of this project includes all components of the Road Network regardless of legal ownership i.e. all roadways and associated roadway assets including land, pavements, structures, ITS, signs, road markings, drainage etc.

The key outcomes of the project were to develop;

• A central register of infrastructure assets • A valuation mechanism for assigning Gross Replacement Costs (GRC) to all of the assets • An approach to depreciation of the GRC reflecting market value or fair value of the assets and incorporating condition of the assets in the depreciation mechanism where this information is available • A standard methodology to assess asset performance levels • A tool to assist in demonstration of asset governance and value vs investment profile • Capability to report asset inventory and asset valuation on a route by route basis • Capability to report asset inventory and asset valuation for each local authority • Capability to report asset inventory and asset valuation on a subnetwork basis The following are a few key points with regard to timelines involved:

• 12 months duration – commencing Q2 2019 • Completion of Asset Inventory by the end of Q4 2019 • Completion of Asset Valuation by end of Q1 2020

1.2 TII Network

The TII road network consists of c. 5300km, of which c.4000 km is managed and maintained by 31 local authorities, c. 800 km is operated and maintained by Contractors via the Motorway Maintenance and Renewals Contract (MMaRC) which is broken out into three networks, A, B and C, and c.400km is operated and maintained by Public Private Partnership (PPP), see Figure 1 below.

Page 3 TII Publications AM-GEN-00001 Asset Inventory (Roads) – Summary Report July 2021

Figure 1 TII Network

From a pavement asset management perspective, the road network is grouped into 5 subnetworks which are largely based on the functional characteristics and strategic importance of the road itself, see Figure 2 below.

Subnet 0 – Motorway and Dual Carriageway Network – c.1200km Subnet 1 – Engineered Single Carriageway - c.1200km

Subnet 2 – Urban Areas – c.700km

2.1 Data Requests

Following initial stakeholder meetings, formal data requests were made to each of the data sources listed in Table 1. PMS developed a new labelling and storage structure for each of the asset types, see Table 2 below. As it is a requirement to report all asset types by route and local authority, it was necessary to geolocate all available asset types where possible and store attributes and spatial information within a universal and recognised format. An ESRI ArcGIS geodatabase which is compatible with TII GIS requirements was developed. Figure 4 shows the geodatabase structure and Figure 5 shows the ArcGIS mapping and video interface customised by the project team for the purposes of the data validation and review exercise.

Data was restructured and labelled in a recognisable format aligned with TII Publications coding as per Table 2 below.

2.1.1 Structures A data download from the Eirspan Bridge Management System was received from TII in April 2019 in Excel format containing c. 3250 structure assets located throughout the national road network, see Figure 6 below. An updated dataset was then received in September 2019 following a request for further information. Key technical attribute information associated with the assets are included such as structure ID, name, location, number of spans, overall length, width, deck area, deck principal material as well as latest condition as assessed by TII inspectors. A TII structures inventory manual was also received which also provides added guidance on the technical parameters of the data. Figure 7 below show extracts from the structures inventory manual.

2.1.1.1 Structures Dataset Review Following a review of the structures asset data with subconsultants Staveley and Partners, a number of important structure attributes were highlighted from a valuation perspective.

Key attributes were noted as follows;

• Length of span, • Deck area, • Purpose of structure (Overbridge / Underbridge), • What it is spanning (e.g. river/railway/road), • Ground conditions/terrain,

Page 14 TII Publications AM-GEN-00001 Asset Inventory (Roads) – Summary Report July 2021

• Construction type (masonry and/or masonry clad, RC concrete, steel), • Foundation type (piled, RC). Following these discussions, an exercise was carried out to geospatially associate individual structures with ground conditions using Geological Survey Ireland soil type datasets. Ground conditions with poor bearing capacity such as peat soil can contribute significantly to construction costs and require more onerous construction methodologies such as piled foundations.

It was agreed that nonstandard or signature structures such as Boyne Valley Bridge, River Suir Bridge, major Tunnels etc. would be valued and reported separately. As retaining wall information was lacking in the original Eirspan structures dataset, PMS investigated a sampling method of identifying retaining walls at the most likely locations on Subnet 0 areas e.g. urban fringe areas such as the M50. Retaining wall type (RC or Earth Retaining) and surface area were noted as important attributes. An estimation was made with regard to the heights of earth retaining or reinforced concrete walls from video. < 2.5m, 2.5 – 5m, >5m. See Figure 8 below for an example of retaining wall identification and labelling. A similar exercise was also carried out in the identification of gantry locations on the M50, as well as distinguishing between cantilever and portal type frames spanning half width or full width.

As noted above, a consolidated version of the structures dataset was received from TII in April 2019 providing key attribute information for valuation. Subsequently, the project team requested a copy of the full Eirspan SQL database from TII which was received in September 2019 from TII IT. Further information required for the purposes of valuation such as; design of elevation, year of construction, passage type and substructure detail were incorporated in the final reported dataset. Additional information was also noted in relation to retaining walls which was included in the latest version of the Eirspan database.

2.1.2 Intelligent Transportation Systems - ITS An ITS dataset from the Asset Fault Management System (AFMS) hosted by Nicander (as a supplier to TII’s maintenance contractor Dynniq) was received on 2nd May 2019 in Excel format containing c. 6200 ITS assets, see Figure 9 below. Key attribute information such as asset no., type, location, manufacturer, model, serial no., install date, inspection date, condition and description were included. There are c.40 different asset type groups in the ITS dataset as well as a spare parts inventory.

Page 15 TII Publications AM-GEN-00001 Asset Inventory (Roads) – Summary Report July 2021

Some high-level information was received in relation to gross replacement costs and depreciated replacement costs on ITS assets which were used for cross referencing during the valuation process.

Figure 9 ITS dataset themed by asset type

2.1.3 Signs & Road Markings A data download of the signs dataset from the Asset Fault Management System (AFMS) was received in May 2019. The dataset contains c. 111500 assets located across four regions; North West, North East, South West South East (excluding MMaRC & PPP Networks) Attribute information such as asset number., sign type, location, manufacturer, mounting is provided.

The total signs database consists of c.130000 assets including MMaRC data. Attribute information such as sign type (regulatory, information and warning, other), mounting type, number of support poles, TSM sign code etc. is available. Information on sign dimensions in MMaRC data is limited. Due to the limitation in sign areas, the project team investigated with TII if any high-level methodologies existed for producing gross replacement costs by grouping signs based on attribute information such as category or location.

Road marking and road stud information was also received from TII in May 2019. The data which is provided at 100 and 1000m intervals reports on the quality of RL values (retro reflectivity) for all edge and centre line markings on the national road network. Road stud condition information has also been received.

2.1.4 MMaRC Data An extract from the Routine Maintenance Management System (RMMS) for the MMaRC networks, A, B, and C was received in May 2019. A comprehensive dataset containing all asset types associated with the MMaRC network was provided by Atkins in three ArcGIS geodatabases, one for each network. These geodatabases contain multiple feature classes for various types of point, polygon and linear assets with corresponding technical information attached such as length, area, type etc. These RMMS geodatabases are in the same format and fully compatible with the existing TII Asset Inventory geodatabase developed as part of this project.

The asset data is labelled with predefined codes for each asset type e.g. SF – Safety Fence, SG – Traffic Signs. An extract of this labelling format and screenshots of the graphic user interface in GIS is provided in Table 3 and Figure 10 below. An exercise was undertaken to review and cross check any duplicate information against data already received.

2.1.5 As-built Information A series of as-built datasets for various motorway and dual carriageway upgrade schemes was received from TII in April 2019. The data largely consisted of as-built drawings in AutoCAD and PDF format extracted from various safety files and as built records. The data was reviewed and assessed for conversion to shapefiles and imported to the ArcGIS geodatabase where possible. A review was undertaken to compare the information against the existing MMaRC datasets.

2.1.6 OSI Paved Polygon An Ordnance Survey Ireland dataset detailing the boundaries of road networks within 200m of all national routes was received from TII in May 2019. An analysis of this dataset showed that road edge boundaries on motorway and dual carriageway networks were delineated to a high degree of accuracy. This information was used to supplement paved width information where gaps existed such as interchanges and multilane carriageways, see section 2.2 below. The remaining information on the single carriageway network was used for identifying the land area associated with the road network (i.e. ditch to ditch widths).

Page 19 TII Publications AM-GEN-00001 Asset Inventory (Roads) – Summary Report July 2021

2.1.7 GIS Routes An updated GIS route model for the national road network was received from TII in April 2019. This model includes all links on the national road network including associated interchanges, slip roads, link roads, connector roads as well as any recent updates to the national road network such as the M17/M18 motorway from to . For reporting purposes and geospatial aligning of assets, the mainline central median portion of this model was segmented into 100m sections. Each 100m section is attributed with the following information which allows assets to be reported at various levels:

• Route Name, • Chainage / 100m Sample Unit • Subnetwork • Local Authority • Network: TII, MMaRC, PPP

2.1.8 Other Datasets Other key datasets received include; safety barriers, lighting columns, noise barriers, maintenance depot locations, salt & chip stores, roadside art, motorway service area locations, rest areas, mammal underpasses, gantries, go-safe cameras, VMS locations, drainage, fencing (see appendix A for further inventory details). Further information in relation to the processing and QA of these datasets is provided in section 2.2 below.

Figures 11 to 13 below show a locational view of a collection of these datasets (signs, lighting columns and safety barriers).

2.1.9 Outstanding Datasets The project team were unsuccessful in obtaining permission to access PPP network datasets which amount to c. 400km of the total 5300km network. Following approval from TII, it was agreed to continue in the absence of this data and programme a task of sampling by proxy to estimate quantities of asset types on the PPP networks. The MMaRC network dataset acted as a good representative dataset for extrapolating assets out to PPP networks. A full aerial and video review was undertaken to quantify nonstandard assets such as Toll Plazas, Toll Operator Buildings, Tunnels as noted below.

2.2 Data Processing & QA

The following section outlines the main tasks completed as part of the data processing and quality assessment checks carried out to validate the asset data received.

2.2.1 Software Development & Video Review As part of Task 3 – Functional Class review, and Task 5 Lane Width, a video review of the full single carriageway national road network (c.4000km) was undertaken to establish locations of hard shoulders, hard strips, and ghost islands. This purpose of this task was twofold. The first aim was to review and validate the existing known characteristics of the national road single carriageway network i.e. Subnets 1, 3 and 4 as part of task 2. The second was to identify the locations of additional paved widths to supplement the lane width information established from the 2014 LCMS survey i.e. hard shoulders, hard strips, ghost islands, 2 + 1s, online cycle lanes etc. Proprietary video rating software was developed to enable geo-location of specific start and end points for sections with the additional paved width. Hard shoulder and hard strip locations once identified were subject to further QA to estimate widths.

Figures 14 to 16 below show an example of the video rating software which was customised to include additional assets for further video review and validation checks. e.g. for sampling/validation of assets in urban areas.

2.2.2 Review of Functional Class & Establishing Paved Widths

2.2.2.1 Single Carriageway As noted above, the results of a previous study in 2014 to establish measured lane widths from 3D LCMS imagery were reviewed, updated and geolocated to the latest 2019 route model. A full digital video review of the single carriageway networks in Subnets 1 - 4 (c.4000km) was carried out using a customised software program to identify and geolocate all additional paved sections on the single carriageway network i.e. hard shoulders, hard strips, ghost islands, 2+1s, climbing lanes, cycle lanes, paved laybys etc.

The additional paved widths were then aligned geospatially with the measured LCMS lane widths model and combined to produce total edge to edge paved width measures at 100m intervals.

The following widths were assumed for the locations of additional pavement sections identified:

Hard shoulder – 2.5m Hard strip – 1.0m

Ghost Island / Right Turning Lane – 3.0m Additional Lane for 2+1s / Climbing Lanes – 3.5m Cycle lane – 1.5 m

Areas where gaps existed in lane width information due to new routes or realignments since 2014 were analysed on a case by case basis and total paved width was assigned based on digital review of the cross section from recent network survey video or Google Earth/Streetview. The majority of new routes or realignments identified were engineered pavement built to a standard cross section and included as part of subnetwork 1. Reference was made to TII Publications DN-GEO-03036 – Cross Sections and Headroom.

The results of the above task also enabled a review and validation of the current definition of the national road single carriageway subnetworks.

2.2.2.2 Motorway / Dual Carriageway As the 2014 LCMS lane width information consisted of lane 1 only in each direction for the national road network, an estimation of total paved widths on motorway and dual carriageway networks (subnet 0) required a different approach. Given the engineered nature of the motorway and dual carriageway network, it was initially assumed that the most accurate way of determining total edge to edge paved widths was to assign a standard paved cross section width to each route depending on the carriageway type as per DN-GEO-03036 i.e. 2 lane rural motorway, 2 lane wide motorway, 3 lane motorway, Type 1,2,3 Dual Carriageway etc. However, it was noted on review that this method would not take into account sections of pavement that are widened for various site-specific reasons such as stopping sight distance, auxiliary lanes, tapers for slip lanes, laybys, toll plazas etc.

On review of an extract from the OSI Prime2 way polygon, provided by TII, which represents all driveable and walkable roads and paths within 200m of the national road network, it was found that paved area boundaries were accurately delineated along the motorway and dual carriageway route network. Therefore, it was determined the best method to generate actual edge to edge pavement widths for the motorway and dual carriageway network was to use this digitised paved area shapefile extracted from the OSI prime 2 model. Perpendicular transect lines were generated in ArcGIS at 100m intervals along each national route and clipped to the boundary of the OSI polygon, ultimately resulting in a total edge to edge paved width for the mainline at 100m intervals. See Figures 17 - 20 below showing an extract of the perpendicular transects and paved polygon in Google Earth. The length of each transect, which is a measure of edge to edge paved width, is linked to the TII GIS route model effectively reporting a paved width at 100m intervals.

Page 24 TII Publications AM-GEN-00001 Asset Inventory (Roads) – Summary Report July 2021

Various quality assessment checks were carried out comparing results against measured edge to edge widths from aerial imagery on Google Earth and ArcGIS, which showed good correlation. A quality assessment check was also carried out to determine if the OSI Prime 2 polygon could be used as a measure for paved widths on the single carriageway network. However, it was found that the single carriageway polygons typically consisted of ‘ditch to ditch’ widths as opposed to pavement edge to pavement edge so it was concluded that the methodology outlined in the previous section was the most reliable solution i.e. using LCMS lane width data combined with additional paved widths identified from video review). The polygon data was also subsequently used for determining land area on the single carriageway network, see Land Area section below.

2.2.2.3 Interchanges As per the motorway and dual carriageway network, paved areas for interchanges were also extracted from the OSI prime 2-way polygon. It was established from detailed review of the OSI polygon attribute table that individual elements of the interchanges could be analysed geospatially in isolation from the mainline network. (see Figure 21 below). The boundaries of individual elements associated with the interchanges such as slip roads, roundabouts and link roads are delineated independently, therefore allowing areas to be reported for each element.

Figure 21 Aerial Image of OSI Pavement Width Polygon For Slips, Links and Roundabouts at Interchanges

2.2.3 Review & Update of GPR

2.2.3.1 2013 GPR Network Data A similar exercise to the lane widths task was carried out to update and align the 2013 Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) network survey to the latest route model. The 2013 GPR Network Survey reported total bound layer and granular layers thicknesses at 100m intervals. New routes and realignments to the national road network since 2013 were identified and a standard pavement cross section was assumed, in the absence of as- constructed records. The following total bound layer and granular layer thicknesses were assumed using the carriageway type as an indicator for pavement depth on the new build routes.

2.2.3.2 New Motorway / Dual Carriageway Routes / Interchanges Total Bound Depth = 350mm (Assuming: 40mm HRA/SMA Surface Course, 60mm AC Binder, 250mm CBM/AC Base)

Total Granular Depth = 450mm (Assuming: 150mm CL804 Subbase, 300mm 6F2 Capping Layer*)

2.2.3.3 New Single Carriageway Total Bound Depth = 300mm (Assuming: 40mm HRA/SMA Surface Course, 60mm AC Binder, 200mm CBM/AC Base))

Total Granular Depth = 450mm (Assuming: 150mm CL804 Subbase, 300mm 6F2 Capping Layer*)

*It is acknowledged that the construction of capping layers is typically dependent on the CBR values of the underlying ground, so a conservative approach was adopted by assuming capping layers are used on all new-build routes.

Page 28 TII Publications AM-GEN-00001 Asset Inventory (Roads) – Summary Report July 2021

2.2.4 Pavement Volume By geospatially aligning the pavement width and pavement thickness models for the national road network, it was then possible to calculate a total pavement volume for the mainline network. Quality assessment checks were undertaken to validate this data. Work was also completed to quality assess the area polygons for the interchanges to enable total pavement volume to be calculated for the interchanges independently.

2.2.5 Land Area As noted above, the purpose of this exercise was to quantify the area of land that is associated with the national road network i.e. fence to fence boundaries, regardless of legal ownership. It is noted that ownership of the land associated with the national road network can reside with multiple different owners or occupiers (public and private) with various burdens, rights of way or wayleaves in place.

Land area for the single carriageway network of Subnets 1 – 4 (c.4000km) was extracted from the OSI prime 2-way polygon which defines a digitised area of the land associated with the road network. This polygon delineates the area between the nearest natural land boundary adjacent to the road which typically presents as a ditch, stone wall, fence, building face (in the case of urban areas) etc. (see Figures 22 & 23 below).

Figure 22 Aerial Image of Land Area Polygon in Typical Rural area

Figure 23 Aerial Image of Land Area Polygon in Typical Urban area

Land area boundaries for the motorway and dual carriageway MMaRC networks in Subnet 0 were defined by a geospatial polygon provided to PMS from the MMaRC RMMS system (see Figures 24 & 25 below).

Figure 24 Aerial Image of Land Area Polygon in MMaRC area A

Figure 25 Aerial Image of Land Area Polygon in MMaRC area B

Pavement edge to edge widths can be treated separately and extracted from land area if required. Equally, areas can be broken out spatially for valuation purposes e.g. subnets, urban, rural, Dublin and other locational factors, zoned land etc

2.2.5.1 Land Area Zoning Following on from discussions held with, and advice given by, the TII land valuation team in September 2019, an exercise was undertaken to investigate associating zoning information with the land area database.

Zoning information from county and city development plans as well as local area plans was sourced from the Department of Housing, Planning and Local Government open data website. A shapefile was then created which merges all city & county development zoning plans as well as local area zoning plans.

Typically, it is the land adjacent to the road that is zoned, and not the road itself. Therefore a spatial analysis in GIS was carried out to link the adjacent zoned land if it shares a boundary with the road network. It emerged that c.620km of the national road network sits adjacent to zoned land. In some cases, there were multiple types of zoning associated with the same 100m road segment, either on the same side or both sides of road. All adjacent zoning types were retained for each 100m segment for the purposes of valuation.

The number of generalised zoning types exceeded c.40 so these were rationalised further by grouping zoning types into c.12 general headings e.g. industrial, commercial, residential, recreational amenity etc.

All land area was reported in square metres & hectares at 100m segmented intervals, with information on generalized zoning type attached where applicable. A Google Earth kmz of this shapefile was also created, Figures 26 – 28 show an overview of the complexity and variation of zoning types associated with some of the larger cities which required detailed geospatial analysis.

2.2.6 Urban Asset Identification A detailed video review of the Urban (Subnet 2) areas was undertaken. The exercise involved tagging point and linear assets in urban areas using customised video rating software to determine a typical rate per km of the assets most common in urban areas such as footpaths, manholes, gulleys, signs, traffic lights, utilities etc. This exercise was also used to validate the quantum of existing inventory information in urban areas. Rating of assets was separated into point and linear assets and further subdivided into groups for time efficiency purposes. Tables 4 and 5 shows a list of the subdivided linear and point asset groups.

Assets were tagged by playing though network video and clicking the particular frame where the asset presents (left, centre, right). Results were stored in real time to a database with an associated GPS coordinate and jpeg number. A sample of the video rating software is shown in Figure 29 below.

Figure 29 Urban Asset Rating Software

The video rating software used in urban areas was fully customisable to rate different locations of the national road network where gaps in data exist.

2.2.7 Geotechnical Assets Geotechnical assets such as cut and fill embankments form a major part of the construction of newer road schemes, particularly on motorway and major interchanges. Various discussions were held as to how these assets should be taken account of in terms of Gross Replacement Cost. The GRC was best related to the volume of earthworks. A shapefile extracted from the OSI Prime 2 model, showing plan view locations of cut/fill embankments across the national road network, was received from TII. A review was undertaken to examine if this shapefile could be used to determine dimensional attributes such as height, width, volume of cut/fill etc. An extract of this polygon is shown in Figure 30 below. It was subsequently found that using LiDAR data was a more accurate method of determining dimensional attributes for cut and fill earthworks, see Section 2.2.8 below.

Page 35 TII Publications AM-GEN-00001 Asset Inventory (Roads) – Summary Report July 2021

Figure 30 Aerial view of cutting/embankments polygon (shaded in brown)

2.2.8 Earthworks Quantities A meeting was held in conjunction with academic partners from the National Centre for Geocomputation at Maynooth University in relation to the extraction of LiDAR information on the national road network for the purposes of carrying out cut/fill quantity calculations. A shapefile containing a series of 1m polygon buffers was created from a series of 100m wide transect lines. These lines extend 50m left and right of the road centreline (perpendicular to the direction of travel) at 100m intervals along a route. Each line and polygon is linked back to a route name and chainage. The polygons were generated across two subnetworks of the national road network, Subnet 0 – Motorway and Dual Carriageway and Subnet 1 – Engineered Single Carriageway. This amounts to c. 2440km – or 24400 polygons at 100m intervals. These polygons were used to extract a batch clip of the LIDAR data, where data exists, from a database hosted by NUIM called GLIMPSE, which amounted to c 11million LIDAR points. See Figure 31 & 32 below.

Page 36 TII Publications AM-GEN-00001 Asset Inventory (Roads) – Summary Report July 2021

Figure 31 Map showing aerial and terrestrial LiDAR coverage on GLIMPSE Platform

Figure 32 Extract of Aerial LiDAR elevation data on 100m transect polygon c.800 points per polygon

An exercise was undertaken to analyse this cross-sectional elevation data for generating bulk earthworks calculations. A smoothing of points was generated along cross sections to remove noise from non-terrain points such as trees, lampposts, barriers, fencing etc. See Figure 33 below.

Page 37 TII Publications AM-GEN-00001 Asset Inventory (Roads) – Summary Report July 2021

Figure 33 Typical Cross section of elevation data showing non terrain points to be filtered out

It was found that calculating a height left and right yields a better estimation of the total volumes, as profile heights can vary significantly, particularly in the case where there is a cut on one side and fill on the other. Following discussion with the TII Geotechnical Section, sites for left and right sides were generated based on two criteria: a minimum threshold height of 1.5m and a minimum section length of 300m were to be considered significant. Assumptions were made in the volume calculations such as 2H:1V cut/fill slopes as well as assuming a 3m verge either side of the paved pavement width. A dashboard was developed in Tableau to view the dynamic cross sectional data by selecting transects in plan view from aerial imagery, see Figure 34 below.

2.2.9 Footpaths A shapefile extracted from the OSI Prime 2 model showing locations of footpaths along the national road network was received from TII. A validation exercise was undertaken to determine if this data could be used to quantify the lengths/areas of footways along the national road network. An extract of this polygon is shown in Figure 35 below. It was later decided that the footpaths information identified from the urban video review was a more accurate representation of the total quantities as the OSI shapefile contained areas beyond the boundary of the national road network. This shapefile was subsequently used in combination with the land area shapefile in the identification of total widths for urban land i.e. building face to building face, as noted above.

Figure 35 Aerial view of footpaths polygon (shaded in blue)

2.2.10 Dublin Port Tunnel Given the complex nature of assets associated with tunnel structures such as the Dublin Port Tunnel (DPT), a meeting was held in August 2019 with the DPT Management team in order to establish the best method for quantifying the tunnel assets and conveying it to the project team. Following this meeting, various reports were received by the project team including: Civil and Mechanical & Electrical Principle Inspection Reports (PIRs), Forward Capital Works Plans and Costing Summaries. Asset information was located across multiple pdf reports and appendices authored by various consultants therefore the reporting of information was quite varied. A summary of asset quantities and condition ratings was compiled from the Civil and M&E PIRs which along with the costing summary would inform the overall valuation exercise on DPT. Costing summaries and principal inspection reports were also requested on Jack Lynch Tunnel (JLT) to compare the out-turn cost by length given the different nature of construction to DPT (bored vs cut and cover). The information from the Jack Lynch tunnel was used as a proxy for generating typical costs and rates per km of assets on the N18 Tunnel due to the similar length and nature of construction to JLT. A summarised report of asset quantities on DPT was issued to the QS team and was made available to TII for review also.

Page 39 TII Publications AM-GEN-00001 Asset Inventory (Roads) – Summary Report July 2021

2.2.11 Drainage A sampling review of drainage type was completed, similar to the urban asset identification of linear assets described above. A video review of drainage was undertaken across a random 10% sample of subnets, 1, 3 and 4, (see Figure 36 below). Start and end locations were geotagged from video for drainage types as shown below:

• French/Filter Drain • Over the edge / ditch • Kerb & Gulley • Lined Concrete channel / carrier drain

Figure 36 Drainage Rating Software

Drainage information in Subnet 0 areas was extracted from the MMaRC RMMS geodatabases which contain information on the location and lengths of drainage types (e.g. French/filter drain, lined concrete channel/carrier drain, kerb and gulley), as well as the locations of drainage manholes and gullies. The MMaRC data was used as a representative sample to extrapolate drainage information on the PPP networks. There was little or no information detailing the subterranean pipe network.

Drainage information in Subnet 2 urban areas was also identified as part of the urban asset identification as detailed in section 2.2.6.

2.2.12 PPP Buildings In the absence of PPP asset data, an aerial review of PPP buildings was undertaken in order to quantify building areas and number of storeys for PPP infrastructure such as offices, depots, toll plazas as well as the land area associated with the infrastructure (see Figure 37 below). Tables 6 - 8 provide a summary of the results from this exercise.

2.2.18 TII GIS Interface All datasets received were geospatially aligned to the TII Linear Referencing System (LRS) which is a GIS Model with unique identifiers modelled for all elements of network e.g. Mainline, Ramps, Roundabouts etc. For the purposes of this project, the CM centreline was segmented into 100 metre intervals and all point and linear assets were geospatially aligned to this model and reported with a route ID and 100m sample unit ID. this exercise was central to the overall aligning of datasets for both inventory and valuation purposes. The dTIMS PAMS system is also compatible with the TII LRS as shown in Figure 39.

A discussion around the format and storage structure of GIS data as part of the Asset Inventory project was held with the TII GIS Section in September 2019. A copy of the most up to date ArcGIS geodatabase and Asset Register was made available to TII GIS for review. Initial feedback with regard to the suitability and compatibility with TII GIS platforms has been positive. Further discussions around handover of relevant and appropriate GIS data for this Asset Inventory project will be finalised on completion of the project.

3.1 International Practice

At the initial stakeholder meeting on March 7th, PMS presented on best practice methods implemented internationally in the UK and US. PMS in partnership with Hyperion UK and Applied Pavement Technology Inc. proposed to implement similar best practice methods applied in recent Asset Inventory projects across various US state departments and the United Kingdom. A tiered system for grouping assets by quality and implementing a rating system for the availability and maturity of data was presented. See Tables 11 to 14 below.

Table 11 Data Availability & Maturity Rating

Rating Description

Readily available with minimum manipulation, well-established process, data 1 verified and high confidence in system Intermediate availability, requires moderate level of manipulation to convert 2 data to a usable format, efforts to improve systems in place

Difficult to use data in current format/significant manipulations required, no 3 management system but data tracked through spreadsheets, somewhat documented system Information not readily available/very little data available, no management 4 system in place, complete lack or very little documentation on process

5 Not available/unable to assess, No management system in place

Table 12 Data Availability & Maturity Rating – example

Table 13 Asset Grouping

Tier Level Description

Primary Consideration: Inventory essentially complete, financials available, structured management system I Secondary Consideration: Performance goals and targets in place or under development

II Some inventory in place, processes not well established

III Little to no information available to support TAMP development

Tier Level Assets Included

• Pavements • Bridges I • ITS Assets • Rest Areas, Salt-Sand Storage Areas, Maintenance Depots, and Communication Buildings

Page 50 TII Publications AM-GEN-00001 Asset Inventory (Roads) – Summary Report July 2021

Tier Level Assets Included

• Slopes • Guard Rails, Barriers, Impact Attenuators II • Hydraulic Infrastructure • Sign Structures • Lighting Structures • Noise Barrier Walls • Pavement Striping and Marking • Weigh Stations and Pump Houses • Retaining Walls • Kerb and Gutter III • Embankments • ADA Features • Bike Paths and Footways • Cattle Guards and Fences • Landscape Features • Traffic Signals

3.2 Rating Optimisation

Following completion of the asset extraction and review an exercise was undertaken to develop a 3 point scoring model which aims to rate the availability and quality/reliability of asset data collated following the QA analysis carried out, see Table 15 below.

Table 15 Asset Availability and Reliability Rating Index

Rating Description

Readily available with minimum manipulation, well-established process, data 1 verified and high confidence in asset data, minimum QA checks required. Intermediate availability, requires moderate level of manipulation to convert 2 data to a usable format. Moderate level of confidence in data. Further sampling and extrapolation possibly required Information not readily available/very little data available, no management system 3 in place, or no access to data permitted, very little documentation on process. Further sampling and extrapolation required

Appendix B contains a table showing the above rating index applied to each of the asset groups in more detail. In addition to this rating index it is noted where gap analysis has been carried out (either by sampling or full review) and where extrapolation is required. As noted earlier, follow up workshops were held over two dates in early 2020 with all key TII stakeholders to review and present results of the asset data received and collated, and to ensure all asset data received was the latest and most up to date version at that time.

4.1 Asset Data Reported for Valuation

Key asset data including, pavement, structures, land area, ITS, tunnel assets, lighting columns, safety barriers, fencing, noise barriers, maintenance depots, toll plazas and buildings, road markings, footpaths, kerbing, drainage, traffic signals and earthworks were compiled, reported to excel spreadsheets and uploaded in batches to a sharefile location for valuation by QS project partners Staveleys. All asset data was georeferenced by route, local authority, and subnetwork.

An extrapolation of assets in areas where gaps in data were identified was undertaken using existing representative data and/or data gathered by sampling. A statistical analysis was carried out to review the appropriateness of proxy rates, by examining the standard deviations and standard errors of rates/km by route. A list of assets where extrapolation was required is noted in Appendix B.

4.2 Reporting Dashboards

PMS developed a front-end reporting dashboard using Tableau software, a business intelligence tool used for various dynamic reporting purposes. The dashboards were presented to TII Chief Executive in November 2019 to demonstrate the capability of reporting assets at various levels such as Region, Local Authority, Route, and Subnetwork and viewing the hierarchy of data both in tabular and spatial format. The underlying structure of these dashboards allows easy modification to include subsequent valuation estimates of GRC and DRC. See Figures 40 and 41 below.

4.3 Resolution of TII Datasets

It is clear that the level of asset information that exists, albeit sitting in various different formats and locations within the organisation, exceeded the original expectations of the project team. Therefore, the focus of the tasks, from an early stage, shifted from that of a data collection and supplementation exercise to primarily a data validation, quality assessment and sampling project.

It was found that various proprietary systems for managing assets exist within the TII organisation. Over 220 different datasets amounting to over 500,000 assets were compiled and extracted from multiple data sources and systems. These systems, whilst fulfilling specific departmental asset management objectives, may not necessarily exist in a coherent or consistent manner when compared with each other. Due to this it was found that linking or aligning the datasets in their existing state proved difficult without some form of intervention or manipulation of data.

The majority of asset datasets that exist contained some form of spatial reference which allowed the project team to align the data to a common linear referencing system i.e. the GIS routes model. This in turn enabled the data to be reported at the defined levels of route, subnetwork, and local authority. However, it was found that the datasets were sitting in various different coordinate systems as well as being linked to different linear referencing models. See Figure 42 below.

5. Summary of Inventory Results

The following is a summary of the quantities generated for the key asset groups, pavement, land area, structures and non-standard structures and tunnels. The reporting levels shown in these key groups can be displayed for all other asset groups collated as part of this exercise and can be further examined and reported via the Tableau BI dashboards as shown in Section 4.2 above which will be made available to TII as required.

Figure 43 shows a high-level summary of the inventory for the key assets which was presented at the TII stakeholder workshops in early, 2020.

5.2 Land

5.2.1 Network As noted in Table 23 there is in excess of 14000 hectares of land associated with the TII road network, the majority of which, as presented in the following tables, is associated with the motorway and dual carriageway network (Subnet 0), see Table 28 below.

Table 23 Land Quantities – Network

Land Land Area (Acre) Land Area (ha)

Network 35,246 14,264

Table 24 below details a breakdown of land area by zoning type for the network. As noted in Section 2.25 the zoning type attribute relates the land adjacent to the road network, and has been categorised into 13 groups of zoning types extracted from various different zoning development and local area plans across the country. It can be seen that the largest portion is attributed to agricultural or unzoned land followed by unzoned urban land, residential land and amenity/open space.

5.2.3 Local Authority It can be seen that that the largest land areas are not only associated with the largest geographical local authorities such as Cork and Galway, but also those with the largest proportion of motorway and dual carriageway roads such as midlands and eastern local authorities e.g. Meath, Kildare, Tipperary, Kilkenny, Laois Westmeath, Roscommon. It can also be seen that the largest proportion of adjacently zoned lands is associated with the more urban local authorities and cities such as Dublin City, Fingal, South Dublin, Dun Laoghaire Rathdown, Cork, Galway etc.

5.2.5 Subnetwork As noted above it is clear from Table 28 and Table 29 that a significant portion of the land associated with the TII national road network is connected with the motorway and dual carriageway network (Subnet 0, MMaRC, PPP) at just below 60% of the total due to the wider corridors involved. As expected, it can also be seen that Subnet 2 contains a significant proportion of adjacently zoned land such as Commercial/Mixed Use and Residential.

5.3 Structures

5.3.1 Network In total there are in excess of 3200 individual structures associated with the TII road network. Structures were categorised into four main types for the purposes of inventory and valuation assessment, namely underbridge, overbridge, footbridge and retaining walls. As before it can be seen that a significant portion of the structures are associated with the newly engineered motorway and dual carriageway network (Subnet 0) and single carriageway network (Subnet 1). Tables 31 to 37 below details a breakdown of structure technical parameters such as count, condition, number of spans, average length and width, and deck area, As before these have been reported by network, region, local authority, route, subnetwork, maintaining authority and network.

5.5 Other Assets – Reporting Dashboards

As noted above PMS developed a reporting dashboard in Tableau which can be customised to present inventory results, both in spatial and tabular format, for all other asset groups which have comprehensive geospatial data such as ITS, signs, lighting columns and safety barriers. As shown in Sections 5.1 to 5.4, these asset groups can be examined at the various levels such as region, local authority, route and subnetwork, 4. A presentation on the use and functionality of these dashboards was made at the TII stakeholder workshops in January and February 2020. Figures 44 to 50 below show some of the functionality of Tableau in filtering and drilling down through asset data by hovering over and clicking the desired information via the maps or tables. Attribute information can also be viewed by hovering over individual assets in the map view. These dashboards can be made available via Tableau Reader software which is free to download and install on a desktop PC.

6. Conclusions & Recommendations

6.1 Introduction

On review of the project objectives, the team were successful in meeting the deliverables and tasks set out in the development of a comprehensive Asset Inventory for the TII National Road Network.

6.1.1 Review of Objectives The following is a summary of the objectives under the asset inventory brief

• A central register of infrastructure assets • Capability to report asset inventory on a route by route basis • Capability to report asset inventory for each local authority • Capability to report asset inventory on a subnetwork basis • Efficiency and Effectiveness in management of data The requirement of a central register of infrastructure assets was met in the form of an ESRI geodatabase with an accompanying register in MS Excel. For consistency and ease of use within the organisation, the geodatabase structure was designed in line with TII publication referencing standards.

The project team were also successful in delivering the capability to report asset inventory information by route, local authority and subnetwork. The team expanded this objective further to enable reporting of asset data by region, maintaining authority and maintaining authority network, such as MMaRC and PPP.

Efficiency and effectiveness in the management of data was achieved firstly in the appropriate structuring and alignment of datasets and secondly in developing the relationship of asset attributes and subcomponents such as type, dimension, age and condition to unit rates in the subsequent valuation phase. The methodologies applied in the management of data throughout the asset inventory phase as described in this report were developed to encompass both the functional management and fiscal objectives of the project brief.

6.1.2 Delivery of Objectives A data dictionary and storage structure for each asset type was developed to enable a more streamlined and consistent approach to the analysis and reporting of assets into the future. Following extensive data quality assessment procedures, all geolocated assets and associated attributes were restructured, relabelled, and stored within a universal and recognised GIS format i.e. ESRI ArcGIS geodatabase, and aligned with the TII GIS route model. A detailed asset register, providing a summary and quantification of asset data sourced and received up to Q4 2019, was compiled. As noted in this report, a large proportion of the data in the various asset management systems and data repositories required some form of intervention in order to align with a common referencing system. Asset inventory data can now be reported by route, county, subnetwork among other groupings such as region, maintenance authority, and networks such as MMaRC and PPP. As detailed in Chapter 5, a sophisticated dashboard toolkit was developed using BI technology to deliver this objective.

6.2 Challenges, Solutions and Lessons Learnt

6.2.1 Challenges As outlined in this report, several challenges were encountered throughout the project, particularly in the data collation and quality assessment phase. A summary of these challenges is outlined below.

Data Collation & Quality Assessment It can be seen from the asset register in Appendix A that a vast level of information was collated across a wide range of sources, systems and formats with over 500,000 individual assets identified. This excludes historical pavement condition and imagery data which can amount to over 6 million data items per year (jpegs, 2D/3D imagery etc.). This posed a unique challenge in terms of quality assurance and data review. Developing an appropriate structure of data was crucially important from the outset.

Data Sources Over fifteen data sources, both internal and external to TII, were contacted throughout the data collation phase which led to over 220 different datasets being received. This posed a challenge in ensuring reliability and relevance of datasets as the role of governance of certain datasets was not clear.

Data Repository Systems It was found that that at least six different data repository systems are in place across the organisation. i.e. dTIMS Pavement Asset Management System, Eirspan SQL Bridge Management System, AFMS Asset Fault Management System (ITS and Signs), TII GeoApp, MMaRC RMMS, TII Defects Management System, TII ArcGIS Online (AGOL). The format and structure of these data enterprise systems varied significantly which led to a challenge in correlating the data for the purposes of cross asset reporting. Gaining access to data required having either proprietary software preloaded to interrogate the data, such as SQL Enterprise Server, or required some other form of intervention to extract the data at source in order to provide a workable format such as excel, .csv or shapefiles.

Data Formats As detailed in Appendix A there are multiple data formats in existence across the organisation including; Microsoft excel (.xlsx), comma separated value (.csv), ESRI shape files (.shp), ESRI Geodatabase (.gdb) AutoCAD (.dwg). This required the use and knowledge of a number of different software packages such as ESRI ArcGIS, Autodesk AutoCAD, MS Office, in order to interrogate the information properly.

Multiple Coordinate Systems It was found that there was a lack of consistency in the coordinate systems used across the various data repositories. Some of this is due to legacy issues whereby older coordinate systems such as Irish National Grid (ING) TM75, which was superseded by Irish Transverse Mercator (ITM) in the mid- 2000s, are still in place. In some cases, it was found that two sets of coordinate systems were used in the same dataset which required splitting of datasets in order to project and convert the data to the correct format.

Other datasets were referenced in global coordinate systems such as WGS84 (Latitude, Longitude). While WGS84 is a universally recognised coordinate system it requires an added step to convert it back to ITM for storing in an ESRI geodatabase which is locked to only one coordinate system.

Page 108 TII Publications AM-GEN-00001 Asset Inventory (Roads) – Summary Report July 2021

Overlaps/Duplication of Datasets It was found that in some cases datasets were overlapping or duplicated. This was particularly evident in datasets such as signs, lampposts and safety barriers where the maintenance boundaries may not be clearly defined such as the interface between local authority and MMarC areas. This posed a challenge in identifying which was the most up to date dataset.

Superseded/Outdated Information It was found that certain datasets contained information that was either superseded or no longer formed part of the national road network, e.g. former nationals which were reclassified as regional roads post construction of motorway networks or realignments. Again, this posed challenges in determining if these assets were still active and under the control of TII or another organisation.

Gaps in Data As noted in Chapter 2 a gap analysis was carried out to identify any datasets that required further data supplementation or extrapolation from sampling. Most notable gaps identified from a valuation perspective were the pavement widths which required significant data supplementation from video review. Drainage, ducting and earthworks were also significant assets groups where little or no information was available and required extensive data supplementation and sampling.

Alignment of Data The various data formats and coordinates systems posed a significant challenge in aligning all the datasets for the purposes of cross asset reporting by route, local authority and subnetwork. This required a substantial amount of data interrogation, firstly in the conversion of data to an appropriate format and secondly in the geospatial alignment of data to a common linear referencing model i.e. TII GIS Model.

Access to Data As noted in Chapter 2, challenges were encountered in gaining access to certain datasets. The largest example was the PPP network data which forms c.400km of the entire national road network. Inability to access the data required an extrapolation exercise to be undertaken using representative data for the purposes of estimating quantities of assets likely to be on the PPP network on a rate/km basis. The project team were however able to gain access to many of the more significant PPP assets such as pavement, structures and earthworks so the extrapolation exercise was ultimately only required on smaller datasets such as signs, lighting columns, safety barriers, etc.

6.2.2 Solutions to Challenges Encountered Below is a summary of the main solutions applied to the challenges encountered as noted in section 6.2.1 above

• Development of an asset data register in excel to keep track of multiple datasets sources, formats, types, dates created, size etc. See Appendix A • Transformation of data with invalid coordinate systems to ITM in ArcGIS • Alignment of data to central linear referencing system i.e. TII GIS model, using ArcGIS spatial join tools. • Development of customised video software for geo locating assets identified in gap analysis e.g. pavement hard shoulder, hard strips, ghost islands, cycle lanes, footpaths, street furniture etc • Development of proxy data for PPP networks using representative datasets from MMaRC databases

Page 109 TII Publications AM-GEN-00001 Asset Inventory (Roads) – Summary Report July 2021

• Development of customised video software for geo locating assets for purposes of QA, e.g. signs, lampposts, safety barriers • Development of customised video software for geo locating assets for purposes of data extrapolation and supplementation e.g. drainage, retaining walls, gantries • Application of UbiPIX video with ArcMap for QA of multiple assets. • Application of ArcGIS to spatially detect duplicate data • Use of aerial LiDAR for earthworks calculations and development of dashboard toolkit

6.2.3 Success of Applied Solutions Several direct and indirect positive outcomes and benefits were achieved through the development and application of these solutions.

The following is a summary of some of the added value achieved in the application of these solutions.

Pavement Area Calculation The calculation of pavement widths at 100m intervals aligned with GPR pavement depth data led to the generation of accurate pavement and granular volumes for the TII road network. This was achieved using a combination of methods, as described in in Section 2.2, in order to achieve maximum accuracy. Whilst exceeding the objective of this project brief it has also added value in supplementing the Pavement Asset Management System dataset which uses pavement widths in the optimisation and prioritisation of pavement repair works by carrying out cost benefit analyses on a €/sqm basis.

Land Area and Zoning The generation of the land area database using OSI boundary data in combination with MMaRC maintenance boundary shapefiles resulted in the generation of a new and significant dataset. This dataset was further enhanced by geospatially aligning it with the zoning shape file which will act as a powerful tool for updates and revisions to the attributes of the land asset in the future

Earthworks The extraction and alignment of LiDAR data for the calculation of cut/fill earthworks data resulted in the creation of a significant BI analysis toolkit which can be further interrogated for other purposes such as the ongoing work on the development of a Geotechnical Asset Management Database (GAMD). It can also be used for generating cross sectional data for querying elevational data of assets such as drainage ponds, earthwork berms, retaining walls, cut/fill heights for safety barrier requirements etc.

Alignment of Data One of the central challenges of this project was developing a consistent and coherent relationship between the various asset groups. Geospatially aligning data to the TII GIS routes model was fundamental to the success of this challenge. Segmenting the GIS routes model into 100 metre intervals enabled assets with geospatial information, regardless of the format or structure, to be anchored to a central model which in turn led to the successful development of cross asset relationships.

Tableau Reporting Dashboard The generation of the Tableau reporting dashboard resulted in a major beneficial outcome not only in the reporting of inventory data but also in the subsequent development of a toolkit for reporting asset valuation information. The dashboards were designed to enable both high level and detailed reporting of assets which can fulfil various reporting objectives at a corporate and strategic level.

6.2.4 Lessons Learned One of the key lessons learned from this exercise was that the level of asset information under the control of TII is vast and diverse in nature. As shown in this report multiple challenges were encountered in the overall collation and alignment of data due to a lack of consistency in data format. Setting out a clear data structure from the outset was critically important in the overall management of the data. Aligning all data to a common linear referencing system enabled an ease of cross asset reporting and set an appropriate structure for transitioning into the valuation phase.

Another valuable lesson learned was realising the importance and need for an overall asset management strategy. Although this exercise involved a ‘point in time’ capture of data, the project team have shown the potential benefits and outcomes of what can be achieved with an appropriate asset management strategy in place.

6.3 Recommendations

6.3.1 Data Policy As noted there are limitations in the current Asset Inventory exercise given the data extracted for valuation is a ‘point in time’ dataset. It is not a dynamic real time dataset as currently this is not possible due to the nature and format of the various data repositories across the organisation. In order to move forward towards a unified approach to asset management it is recommended that a corporate policy is developed across all organisational departments managing asset data. A policy which clearly delineates how asset information should be recorded, referenced and maintained, as well as enforcing a format and level of detail which facilitates cross-asset management and reporting. The outcomes of this project should provide a platform for the development of such an asset management system which at the very least links the various data repositories to a common linear and geospatial referencing system.

6.3.2 Asset Management and Data Structure It can be seen from the findings of this project that the foundation for good asset management practice begins with an appropriate GIS. Assets that contain accurate spatial information facilitate the alignment of multiple datasets to one common reference which in turn enables an appropriate assessment to take place from both a technical inventory and valuation standpoint.

Implementing the appropriate format and structure of the asset data from an early stage is critically important for handling larger asset datasets with multiple asset objects that change significantly over time, e.g. signs and lines database. This is particularly important where the network is subject to constant change. An asset system should be intelligent, data driven and resilient in recognising changes across the network.

Lessons learned from past experience with database systems in TII indicate that asset systems should be flexible, adaptable, and future proofed. Key information should be readily available in a consistent format that clearly defines what the asset is, where it is located, its condition, operational importance, and network functionality. A consistency of approach is critical where assets are managed by different departments in TII.

It is recommended that assets are grouped and structured in a manner that facilitates analysis and reporting at different levels of detail depending on specific reporting functions. It is also recommended to build in, from an early stage, a level of complexity that can be managed, optimised and flexible enough to allow an asset to be broken out into sub-components for executing various forms of routine queries on asset attributes. This also enables individual components of an asset with varying degrees of operational importance and network functionality to be examined separately.

Page 111 TII Publications AM-GEN-00001 Asset Inventory (Roads) – Summary Report July 2021

The dTIMS Pavement Asset Management System is a good example of this whereby asset data can be subdivided into components such as the individual subnetworks and analysed and reported at different levels depending on the data parameters, condition classes etc. The system clearly defines what the assets are, where they are located, current condition, and proposes various optimised treatment options to bring the asset to an appropriate level of condition taking cognisance of the characteristics of the particular asset. Similar approaches have been adopted and are being implemented with other key asset types such as structures (Eirspan) and ITS, Signs (AFMS), Safety Barrier and Lighting Columns (ESRI Geo App).

6.4 Way forward for TII

Further to the recommendations and conclusions outlined above it is clear, that in order to maintain a consistent and coherent approach from all stakeholders, a corporate asset management strategy must be in place. Numerous positive steps towards this approach has been taken in recent years with the development and implementation of various asset management systems. There is however a common misconception that implementing a computerised Enterprise Asset Management System will create an asset management system. While software can, and must support an asset management system it does not create the system.

The outcomes of this project have shown the capabilities and benefits of an appropriate Asset Inventory from a management, planning and organisational perspective. The creation of the Asset Register will help to address one of the key findings included in the IMF’s 2017 report on ‘Public Sector Investment Management’ in Ireland, which noted that Ireland did not have a Central Register of Infrastructure Assets and recommended that it establish such a register, in order to facilitate effective management of these assets. Therefore, it is clear that with the appropriate policy and strategy in place TII have the ability to align all of this progress to develop a strategy going forward to meet the recommendations of the IMF. It is recommended that until an overall organisational asset management strategy is in place that the inventory data is refreshed and updated at regular intervals in order to maximise the benefit of this project into the future.

C1 Introduction

Transportation Asset Management is a data-driven activity that is dependent on the availability of comprehensive and reliable data to support investment decisions and manage agency risks. It is important to have business processes and systems in place to manage this data effectively. This includes having systems to managing the asset inventory, methods of monitoring system performance, and processes to track work activities and expenditures. However, since collecting and maintaining data is expensive, it is important to develop an information management approach that considers what information is needed to support the organisation, how to most cost-effectively collect and manage the data, how to ensure the information is accessible to those who need it and presented in a useful manner. This Technical Note 1 introduces the proposed format for establishing the asset inventory to support future investment decisions.

Page 135 TII Publications AM-GEN-00001 Asset Inventory (Roads) – Summary Report July 2021 C2 Key Partners

PMS have utilised a number of specialist companies to assist in the development of the requisite consultancy services. Included are Hyperion Infrastructure whose customers include Highways England and Transport for London both of which have developed similar processes for their asset valuation / management as is intended under this project.

Staveley and Partners is a specialist consultancy based in Dublin, providing contractual and commercial management expertise to clients involved in all sectors of the Construction Industry. In particular, they have been responsible for the successful delivery of cost estimating databases to a number of statutory organisations, including TII, responsible for the delivery of infrastructure works programmes at a national level. They have also drafted and updated cost and contractual administration controls and guidelines currently in use nationally.

Applied Pavement Technology Inc. (Aptech) is a US asset management company that was commissioned by the United States Federal Highways Administration (FHWA) to assist in the development of a framework for their asset management programme and this company has also worked with PMS on other pavement commissions. There is a well-established and current knowledge base available to TII through this framework to enable best practices to be developed and implemented in an expedient and seamless manner.

KPMG is an international management consulting company with over 3000 employees in Ireland. They are very active in the Infrastructure space ,and have provided support and assistance in Financing, Cost management and many other complex issues to both private and state entities over many years. KPMG provide consultancy support to TII in the financial management area. Internationally, they have been involved in many Asset Management projects and most recently were co-authors of A Guide to Developing Financial Plans and Performance Measures for Transportation Asset Management in the United States.

Page 136 TII Publications AM-GEN-00001 Asset Inventory (Roads) – Summary Report July 2021 C3 Summary of Recommended Approach

The project team recommends an approach for prioritising asset classes into tiers to help establish the order in which the asset inventory will be developed. The prioritisation will be based on a strategic assessment of the agency’s needs in conjunction with other considerations, such as legal requirements, level of investment and risk, data availability and maturity, and strategic priorities. The prioritisation process includes the steps listed in Figure C1. It will result in a prioritised list of asset classes that will be organised into tiers that will guide the agency’s future data collection and management efforts. Each of the steps is described in more detail in the remainder of this section

Figure C1 Recommended steps in the prioritisation process.

Step 1: Identify Key Factors to use in Evaluating Asset Maturity and Availability The first step in the process is to strategically assess the factors that will drive the prioritisation of asset classes. Depending on the specific needs of the agency, the assessment could evaluate a range of factors, including:

• Risk – the potential impact that a lack of data will have on the agency’s ability to manage high-priority risks. • Asset Maturity – the agency’s readiness to use asset data to drive investment decisions. • Data Maturity – the expected level of effort to collect the data and the level of confidence in the results. • Strategic Priorities – the factors influencing the urgency of asset investments, such as public health and safety considerations. • Growth and Demand Considerations – changes in traffic demand that may influence future investments. • Replacement Value – an indication of the prior investment in the asset and the level of investment needed to preserve that investment. • Legal Considerations – regulations and standards that drive asset investment. • Public Relations – the considerations most visible to the traveling public.

Page 137 TII Publications AM-GEN-00001 Asset Inventory (Roads) – Summary Report July 2021

• Technology – the ability to take advantage of available technology to support the management of the asset class. • Other Factors – these may be identified by the agency through facilitated meetings. The project team will facilitate a workshop with leadership to identify the factors that are most critical to determine asset tiers. Once the criteria have been established, each factor will be assigned a weighting factor, indicating the relative importance of that factor in comparison to other factors. For instance, it might be determined that risks and strategic priorities are twice as important as all of the other factors being considered. If there are criteria that will be assessed subjectively rather than through a scoring system (such as whether or not there are legal requirements in place that drive data collection), these factors will not be weighted.

Step 2: Assess Asset Maturity The second step in the process is used to evaluate the relative maturity of each asset in terms of the availability of information and analysis tools to support performance-based investment decisions. This will involve an assessment of the availability of:

• Asset inventory and performance data. • Performance measures and targets. • Treatment options and costs. • Deterioration rates. • Financial data. • Analysis tools for evaluating different treatment options. Each factor will be evaluated using a rating scale of 1 to 5, such as the scale shown in Figure C2. The ratings will be based on information provided through interviews with asset owners, technical manuals, and other information provided to the team. The results of the assessment will be compiled into a table, such as the one shown in Figure C3.

Figure C2 Sample rating criteria for evaluating asset maturity.

Page 138 TII Publications AM-GEN-00001 Asset Inventory (Roads) – Summary Report July 2021

Figure C3 Sample summary of asset assessment scores.

Once each of the individual asset classes has been evaluated, an overall assessment of maturity will be determined using criteria, such as:

• Maturity Level 1: Inventory essentially complete, financials available, structured management system. Performance goals and targets are in place or under development. • Maturity Level 2: Some inventory in place, processes not well established. • Maturity Level 3: Little to no information available to support asset management efforts The maturity level assessment will be carried forward into step 3 as one of the factors to be used in developing priorities.

Step 3: Develop Asset Priority Tiers The final step in the process is to evaluate the remaining criteria established during step 1 with the intent of developing a prioritised list of asset classes that can be organised into three or more tiers to guide the agency’s asset management implementation efforts. An example of the resulting tiers is provided in Table 1.

Page 140 TII Publications AM-GEN-00001 Asset Inventory (Roads) – Summary Report July 2021 C4 Link to Asset Management Principles

Asset management is organised around the following fundamental principles:

• Policy-driven – asset management should reflect policy objectives and provide meaningful information about how changes in the transportation system support these changes. • Performance-based – asset management should have strategic objectives that are translated into system performance measures to support the day-to-day management of assets. • Risk-based – an agency’s risk tolerance will determine the degree to which uncertainty drives investment decisions. • Aligned at all levels – investment decisions at each level of the organization should support strategic objectives and priorities to preserve asset value. • Transparent – the availability of clear decision-making processes helps ensure alignment between financial and technical decisions, plans, and activities. • Information-Driven/Evidence-Based – investment options are evaluated based on current, credible, and comprehensive information that matches the level of sophistication required. The asset prioritisation process described in this technical note supports efforts to establish an implementable approach to building the information needed to support these asset management principles. The prioritised tiers will enable an organised approach to asset management implementation that ensure that strategic objectives are considered in the process, that a manageable approach to data collection can be established, and that a data governance framework is used to reduce data risks.

In addition, the asset information established as a result of this project will strongly support the future development of a Transportation Asset Management Plan (TAMP). A TAMP will typically include the following information:

• Asset management objectives and measures. • A summary listing and condition description of principal assets. • Established performance targets. • Risk analysis. • Life-cycle planning. • Financial plan for a minimum of 10 years. • Investment strategies for the 10-year period. • Identification of any performance gaps Improved Asset Data as an Enabler for Asset Management As mentioned previously, effective asset management is predicated on the availability of comprehensive and reliable data and, indeed, the need to ensure asset data quality is a common theme of asset management best practice across the international highway sector as well as in ISO 55001.

It follows that, by collecting and maintaining good quality data about its assets, TII will be in a position to adopt a more systematic approach to asset management.

Page 141 TII Publications AM-GEN-00001 Asset Inventory (Roads) – Summary Report July 2021

This improved asset data will:

• More accurately describe the asset and its performance; • Provide the basis for informed decision-making; • Facilitate effective communication with stakeholders; • Inform the assessment and management of risk; • Ensure compliance with statutory requirements; and • Support continuous improvement.

Using Asset Data throughout the Asset Lifecycle

Figure C4 Asset Lifecycle

Asset data supports the management of the assets throughout their lifecycle as shown in Figure C4 above and Table C2 below.

Table C2 Asset Data Use throughout the Infrastructure Lifecycle

Governance Asset data provides evidence of compliance with Statutory and Legislative Requirements.

Accurate data also supports procurement and contract management by allowing accurate tender pricing and providing evidence of contractual compliance.

Page 142 TII Publications AM-GEN-00001 Asset Inventory (Roads) – Summary Report July 2021

Management Reliable asset data provides the basis for internal process metrics and external asset performance metrics and is used to derive the value of the organisation’s assets.

Data is also used to inform reports produced by the organisation on a wide variety of subjects and to respond to requests from members of the public and also by elected members of political bodies at all levels.

Data can also be shared with other government and non- government organisations to aid them in their operations. Planning Asset data provides an objective basis for business cases for investment as well as supporting accurate scheme design and costing.

Create or acquire Reliable asset data provides the basis for constructing or installing new assets and this is also an opportunity to capture construction and other data that will be useful during the later lifecycle stages.

Transferring ownership from third parties (adoption) requires the production and maintenance of accurate records.

Operate and Asset data helps ensure that the asset functions as intended including: maintain • Assuring maintenance operations are carried out appropriately; • Ensuring operational risks are effectively managed; • Defect reporting – recording and responding to asset defects; and • Ensuring maintenance is being managed effectively.

Renew or replace As asset value is consumed through use, an appropriate strategy can be used to restore the asset function at different stages. In each of these stages, the optimum outcome is sought which maximises the value of the asset. Therefore, to achieve this outcome, good decision making is essential and therefore the best evidence should be available supported by asset data. Dispose At the end of life, the organisation should adopt an appropriate strategy to restore the asset function or dispose of the asset if no longer required. Disposal of the asset could be achieved by transferring ownership to a third party, however the activity of disposal must consider both the retention of asset benefits and risks (such as recycling or disposal of harmful materials) which requires accurate asset data.

Page 143 TII Publications AM-GEN-00001 Asset Inventory (Roads) – Summary Report July 2021 C5 Comparable Practices

US Practice TAM is organised around a common international framework that is reflected in Figure C5 (from ISO 55000). As it illustrates, the TAMP creates the link between an agency’s strategic objectives and the implementation of the selected investment strategies. The data contained in the asset management system serves as the basis for making these important decisions.

Figure C5 ISO 5500 asset management framework.

Even though the framework for implementing is similar around the world, the level of maturity and supporting business processes are unique to each implementing agency. In the United States, state DOTs have structured their TAM programs to meet the federal requirements for developing a TAMP. The maturity level and business processes in each agency should support the use of sound, long- term decisions that preserve asset value, provide a desirable level of service, and reduce life cycle costs.

Page 144 TII Publications AM-GEN-00001 Asset Inventory (Roads) – Summary Report July 2021

In the United States, state departments of transportation (DOTs) have primarily focused their efforts on pavement and bridge assets since there are federal requirements in place for managing the portion of these assets that are eligible for federal funding. However, some state DOTs have elected to include other assets in their asset management programs, recognising that available funding must address all the assets managed by the agency. Several agencies have used a prioritisation process like the one described in this Technical

Note to determine the order in which assets will be added to the program. Several examples of how state DOTs have applied these concepts are summarised below.

Because of the lack of guidance available to assist agencies with determining whether they had sufficient data to expand their asset management program to include assets other than pavements and bridges and/or to prioritize their approach to adding assets to their asset management system, the FHWA initiated the development of a Guide to assist practitioners with these assessments. Applied Pavement Technology, Inc. (APTech), a member of the research team, developed the Guide for FHWA. It is in the publication process and should be released later this year.

Ohio DOT In 2012, the Ohio DOT conducted a risk-based assessment of the relative importance of each of the different types of assets that the agency manages. The assets were evaluated in terms of their contribution to achieving the agency’s strategic vision and the level of risk associated with managing each asset. The assessment included a summary of data collection needs to achieve an acceptable level of maturity and a comparison of the level of effort to the benefits that would be realized and the costs that would be incurred. The results enabled the Ohio DOT to shift from an asset management approach that focused on data collection and software implementation to a more corporate perspective on the use of data to support agency business processes for the least cost and greatest benefit.

Ohio divided its assets into three tiers, with the tier 1 inventory expected to be completed by 2013 and the tier 2 inventory completed by 2016. The agency is completing its inventory of tier 3 assets this year. The tiers were established base on a priority score based on the ability of data quality to reduce risk impacts, the ease of implementation, and the cost of gathering essential asset information.

As the asset inventories were being established, the Ohio DOT also initiated the implementation of new asset management software for storing and analysing the data. They also created two data- related groups under their Asset Management Leadership Team to focus on data, as shown in Figure C6. These two groups are responsible for ensuring that asset data is complete, current, and collected consistently across the state. The TAM Audit Group is responsible for ensuring the availability of data collection and governance standards for all asset data collected by the Department and the Data Governance Group ensures that the standards are followed.

Page 145 TII Publications AM-GEN-00001 Asset Inventory (Roads) – Summary Report July 2021

Figure C6 Data-related groups organised under the Ohio DOT Asset Management Leadership Team.

In addition, the Ohio DOT developed tools to support data integration and access, including their Transportation Information Mapping System (TIMS), which enables engineers and planners to manage asset data in an integrated map-based format. The data integration efforts that went into TIMS will underpin all future management system implementations in the agency.

Nevada DOT In 2014, the Nevada DOT conducted an asset maturity assessment as part of its TAMP development to determine which assets, other than pavements and bridges, to include in their initial TAMP. A total of 24 assets in 6 asset categories were considered in the study. The assessment was based on the availability and maturity of asset data as well as:

• The level of investment made in each asset, in terms of financial investments or personnel time. • Contribution to the agency’s risk levels. • Reporting requirements, legislation, or mandates. • Departmental strategic priorities. • Historical practices. • The need to balance local and state stakeholder needs and requests. The study found that mature management systems were in place for pavements, bridges, and tunnels; however other assets (such as hydraulic infrastructure, guardrails, barriers and impact attenuators, and slopes) are managed using less formal databases or spreadsheet tools. State-wide inventories did not exist for curb and gutter, retaining walls, light structures, landscape features, and traffic signals. The assessment led the Nevada DOT to include pavements, bridges, and ITS assets in its initial TAMP. Other assets may be added to future TAMPs.

Page 146 TII Publications AM-GEN-00001 Asset Inventory (Roads) – Summary Report July 2021

Minnesota DOT As the Minnesota DOT began to plan for its new asset management system, the Department created an Asset Management team that consisted of individuals responsible for overseeing asset data collection and data management policies, procedures, and contracts. The assets included in the initial TAMP are shown in Figure C7.

Figure 7 Assets included in the initial TAMP developed by the Minnesota DOT.

The evaluation of what assets to include in its TAMP and in its new asset management system was based on an internal assessment of the following criteria for each asset:

• The size and complexity of the inventory. • The completeness of the current inventory. • The quality of the inventory data. • The sophistication of analysis tools available and resources required. • The breadth of the organization impacted, involved, or benefited from the asset. • Availability of system measures and targets. • Stakeholder level of interest. • Existence of links to other Minnesota DOT plans.

Lessons learned from the UK

Introduction of Asset Management Asset management as a concept was introduced into the UK local highway sector in the early 2000’s. The intention was to encourage highway authorities to adopt a more systematic approach to the management of their assets that would enable them to make better use of their maintenance budgets and achieve better outcomes for their customers.

The introduction of asset management principles built on the previous ‘Best Value’ regime that required local authorities to publish reports on a range of performance indicators – including carriageway and footway condition – in a consistent way, based on common data standards. Prior to this, there was little national consistency and local authorities often held limited information about their assets, and maintenance decisions were often reactive or based on historic levels of funding.

Asset Valuation and Whole of Government Accounts The introduction of asset management principles also coincided with the decision to start to produce Whole of Government Accounts (WGA); a consolidated set of financial statements for the UK public sector.

Page 147 TII Publications AM-GEN-00001 Asset Inventory (Roads) – Summary Report July 2021

This required highway authorities to produce figures for Accumulated and Annual Depreciation of carriageways and footways, based on consistent measurements of asset condition, as well as accurate inventory information to calculate Gross Replacement Cost (GRC).

The WGA reports also require financial information, including asset valuation information, from other UK highway bodies including Highways England and Transport Scotland who are also required to publish annual financial accounts.

Asset Management as Best Practice In addition to the financial reporting requirements, a systematic approach to asset management is now recognised as best practice, and organisations have seen the merit in aligning themselves with, or seeking third party certification against, the requirements of BSI PAS-55 and more recently ISO 55001. Within the UK local authority sector, an element of central Government highway maintenance funding is linked to asset management maturity against a range of criteria that includes a requirement to collect and effectively manage asset data.

Summary The experience from the UK has been that, while asset management come to be widely recognised as best practice, there has often been a need for external requirements (BVPI Reporting, Asset Valuation, Central Government Funding requirements, etc.) to drive the necessary changes to business processes and operating practices.

That being said, having made incremental improvements to the quality, currency and completeness of their asset data, highway authorities have found that they are able to develop long term asset management and investment strategies, based on lifecycle models, and better able to identify and manage risks.

Page 148 TII Publications AM-GEN-00001 Asset Inventory (Roads) – Summary Report July 2021 C6 Impacts on Existing Practices in TII

The performance of an Asset Managing organisation is strongly dependent on the quality and availability of asset data and information, including good inventory and condition information and the costs associated with replacing or renewing infrastructure. The first step in managing assets is to know what you have, but knowing how assets perform is fundamental to determining their optimum management strategies.

A consistent and structured approach to data and data management, built on common standards, brings benefits such as improvements in cooperative working, coordinated service provision across departments and divisions, and faster and more cost-effective system development. Based on the experience of TII PMS, an open source system consisting of three core components – data repository; strategic management and programming function all linked to TII GIS, offers the best model for a corporate system. It enables total flexibility in use and can accommodate functional expansion or upgrading as an inherent characteristic

Asset value, taken together with inventory of built assets, provides a basis for evaluating whether current and planned expenditure (on maintenance, renewal and replacement) is adequate. This can be through benchmarking comparisons and other measures.

Ideally, asset value data should be capable of serving the needs of asset management, financial management, budgeting and financial reporting and should be of high quality to ensure it is fit for use for all these purposes. Data should be available for assets right across the organisation to ensure consistency of application.

TII Experience TII has considerable asset management capability developed over a number of years as well as a number of established asset information systems and datasets that are used to manage the network assets. Notable amongst these are:

• The pavement management system which aims to assess the effects of maintenance activities from both the technical and the economic point of view and assist in determining optimum future maintenance strategies, and • The structures management system which primarily focuses on condition inspections with a view to identifying and prioritising maintenance activities based on a cycle of Principal and Special inspections. Initiatives are currently underway to improve knowledge and understanding of other assets such as signs, lines and roadside infrastructure. Substantial asset inventory data has also been gathered through the three MMARC contracts, though this information has yet to be fully integrated into an overall asset management framework.

The asset management frameworks that form part of the management of Toll infrastructure such as the Dublin tunnels, PPP schemes such as the M6 and the M50 which will ultimately revert to direct TII management.

A high level valuation of the National Road network was estimated in a 2012 report for the by Bruce Shaw consultants. Gross all-in replacement asset valuation, valuation of the non-depreciable asset elements, and valuation of depreciation by removal of end-of-life residual value were carried out based on an aggregation of assets into four Asset Groups. These groups were carriageways, interchanges, structures and non- standard features. The four groups were further broken down into fourteen constituent sub-groups to reflect different unit rates and different expected lifespans.

The following are strategic requirements for TII:

Page 149 TII Publications AM-GEN-00001 Asset Inventory (Roads) – Summary Report July 2021

• A central register of infrastructure assets • A valuation mechanism for assigning Gross Replacement Costs (GRC) to all of the assets • An approach to depreciation of the GRC reflecting market value or fair value of the assets and incorporating condition of the assets in the depreciation mechanism where this information is available • Capability to report asset inventory and asset valuation on a route by route basis • Capability to report asset inventory and asset valuation for each local authority • Capability to report asset inventory and asset valuation on a subnetwork basis • Capability to demonstrate efficient and effect use of resources Asset Database Development Lessons learnt from past experience with databases systems in TII indicate that asset systems should be flexible, adaptable and future proofed. Key information should be readily available in a consistent format that clearly defines what the asset is, where it is located, its condition, operational importance and network functionality. A consistency of approach is critical where assets are managed by different departments in TII. It is recommended that a corporate policy is developed to clearly delineate how asset information is recorded and updated, and the format and level of detail required to establish and support cross-asset management and reporting.

Format and Structure Implementing the appropriate format and structure of the asset data from an early stage is critically important for handling larger asset datasets with multiple asset objects that change significantly over time, e.g. signs and lines database. This is particularly important where the network is subject to constant change. An asset system should be intelligent, data driven and resilient in recognising changes across the network. The database structure defined for the asset inventory project will be outlined in Technical Note 2.

It is recommended that assets are grouped and structured in a manner that facilitates analysis and reporting at different levels of detail depending on specific reporting functions. It is also recommended to build in, from an early stage, a level of complexity that can be managed, optimised and flexible enough to allow an asset to be broken out into sub- components for executing various forms of routine queries on asset attributes. This also enables individual components of an asset with varying degrees of operational importance and network functionality to be examined separately.

The dTIMS Pavement Asset Management System is a good example of this whereby asset data can be subdivided into components such as the individual subnetworks and analysed and reported at different levels depending on the data parameters, condition classes etc. The system clearly defines what the assets are, where they are located, current condition, and proposes various optimised treatment options to bring the asset to an appropriate level of condition taking cognisance of the characteristics of the particular asset. It is recommended that this type of approach is implemented going forward for other key asset types such as structures and ITS.

Page 150 TII Publications AM-GEN-00001 Asset Inventory (Roads) – Summary Report July 2021 C7 Implementation in TII

Module 1 – Asset Inventory The first key step in implementation of Asset Valuation is the production of a reliable Asset Inventory which is currently ongoing. TII have some advantages in that there is already a Pavement Management System and a Structures Management System in place that can feed data into the asset inventory, as well as signs and lines databases, MMARC databases, routine maintenance information, lighting inventory etc. The aim will be to extract as much existing information as possible to determine what is already known, and what degree of confidence there is around that information. This inventory data will then be supplemented by generating estimates of the unavailable inventory items through targeted data collection on a sampling basis, making full use of the annual survey geo-referenced videos to speed up the process.

It is likely that the new subnetwork definitions, with Urban areas as a separate subnetwork, will be used as the basis for sampling as the characteristic asset types (and ultimately asset valuation) in the Urban environment will be very different to the remainder of the network.

Based on the US experienced described earlier in this Technical Note, it is likely that a three level risk/confidence rating will be assigned to each data element as follows:

Tier I: Primary Consideration: Inventory information is essentially complete, although use of the data may require some manipulation. Financial data is available and a reasonably structured management, planning, and forecasting system is in place.

Tier II: Some inventory and other information is in place, although the processes are not well established or there is not a high degree of confidence in the data at this point in time. There may be some work underway to establish performance measures and targets, although they may not be established yet.

Tier III: There is little to no information available to support the development of a TAMP at this point in time.

Deliverables from the Asset Inventory Module will consist of a full inventory of the National Road network the capability to report on a route by route and local authority basis. Results from the Asset Inventory module will inform the basis for the second module, Asset Valuation.

Technical Note 2 - Development of an Asset Inventory System

This technical note aims to assess the functionality of various data structure formats as well as make recommendations for a proposed structure and format of the inventory data that is optimised for TII. It will aim to document the key sources of the data and the process around which the data is quality assessed and reviewed.

TII Experience TII has considerable asset management capability developed over a number of years as well as a number of established asset information systems and datasets that are used to manage the network assets. Notable amongst these are:

Page 153 TII Publications AM-GEN-00001 Asset Inventory (Roads) – Summary Report July 2021 D2 Asset Data

Objectives The UK Roads Liaison Group - Highway Infrastructure Asset Management Guidance Document sets out the following objectives of asset data:

• Provide the data required to support the approach to asset management. • Describe the asset and its performance. • Provide the basis for informed decision making. • Facilitate communications with stakeholders. • Inform the assessment and management of risk. • Support the management of statutory requirements. • Support continuous improvement. Asset data comprises information on what physical highway infrastructure assets an authority has responsibility for and includes number, location, performance, financial value and public opinion. Effective asset management planning and decision-making relies on this data being available, appropriate, reliable and accurate.

Asset data describes what highway infrastructure assets an authority has, where they are and how they perform. Data is used to support the overall requirements for asset management including:

• Defining network inventory and asset performance; • Supporting statutory requirements; • Making effective and informed decisions; • Understanding the impact of decisions on the asset and the subsequent level of service and performance; • Assessing and managing risk; • Determining investment requirements; • Assessing and reporting financial value; and • Reporting performance. Identifying data requirements, data collection, processing and reporting forms part of data management. Adopting a strategic and planned approach to the collection and management of asset data may provide cost savings and other benefits such as maximising the use of data.

Authorities typically hold the following types of asset data:

• Inventory – describes the full extent of an asset and can include location, type, size and construction. This will also support the calculation of Gross Replacement Cost; • Performance – − condition information related to aspects of performance, lifecycle planning, identifying programmes of work, and to financial requirements, such as calculation of the Depreciated Replacement Cost; − public satisfaction, public enquiries, third party claims, traffic flows, accident records, maintenance history, energy consumption and environmental impact; and

Page 154 TII Publications AM-GEN-00001 Asset Inventory (Roads) – Summary Report July 2021

• Financial – Supports budgets, financial planning, determining value for money in delivering overall performance and prioritising maintenance activities. It includes unit rates for asset management activities and data to support WGA requirements, including calculation of the Depreciated Replacement Cost and Gross Replacement Cost. Data Requirements It is a matter for each authority to determine their data requirements to support asset management. Much of the data required may already be collected as part of established practices, such as public opinion surveys, national data requirements, traffic surveys, road condition surveys, bridge inspections, street lighting maintenance work.

Asset data should at least provide information on the extent of the asset and its potential maintenance liabilities, as well as supporting any critical decisions that need to be made relating its management. Maintenance history may also be required when assessing performance and planning for future maintenance activities.

The required accuracy, reliability and repeatability of data should be considered when determining the purpose of the data and how it is used as these factors are likely to affect the cost of collection. Sometimes coarse data from driven inspections may be sufficient, whilst for other purposes sophisticated techniques such as mobile mapping may be appropriate. For data to be effective, the level of accuracy and quantum required must be appropriate for the investment and risk associated with that asset.

An assessment of data requirements should consider:

• How the data supports the approach to asset management; • Data quality, age, coverage and currency requirements; • Potential opportunities to share or re-use existing data to reduce duplication in data collection; • Historic data and its appropriateness for future use; • Removal of redundant or out of date data; • Statutory requirements; • Cost of data collection and ongoing management, including any software and licences and IT infrastructure requirements; • Lifecycle planning data; and • Value of data and/or the risk of not collecting it. A gap analysis may be used to identify what data currently exists and what additional data is required to support asset management. If this demonstrates that additional data is required, a case may need to be made to senior decision makers for additional funding.

In making the case for funding for additional data collection, the requirements for data should be documented. This should include the approach to reviewing current data, identifying the need and frequency to update data, any new data needs, analysing the gaps, and prioritising the collection of additional and updated data. Costs for data collection, day to day management and regular updating should be included. Risks associated with not having data or any part of it should also be identified.

A Data Management Strategy is one way of documenting information and demonstrating the benefits of data. Typically, a Data Management Strategy may comprise:

Page 155 TII Publications AM-GEN-00001 Asset Inventory (Roads) – Summary Report July 2021

• Identify business need – This should be based on an assessment of the data requirements, demonstrating how they meet the asset management strategy and include the risk associated with the data; • Identify data owner – An “owner” for the data is required to be responsible for managing the collected information; • Accessibility and date stamping – Access rights to the data should be considered, and all data should be date stamped; • Data collection – When determining the method of collection, the most cost effective method should be used. Requirements for the accuracy, reliability and repeatability of data should also be considered. Collaboration (e.g. in procurement) between authorities should also be considered as appropriate with the objective of delivering cost savings; • Frequency of collection and updating – A risk based approach may be suitable, particularly where assets pose low risk to the performance of the network and are unlikely to require capital investment. Decisions about the life expectancy of all data types will need to be made; • Data management – Data storage and management processes should be considered to ensure that these are fit for purpose, especially as the quantity and quality of data is likely to increase. IT specialists may need to contribute to this to ensure that the proposed approach complies with the authority’s IT requirements; and • Disposing of data – The Data Management Strategy should consider how archiving or disposing of out-of-date data may be dealt with. This should consider whether the data will be required at a later date or whether it may be disposed of completely. In determining the performance of individual assets, historical information and trends may be invaluable to support decisions regarding future performance. Regular reviews of data requirements and strategy, as appropriate, should be undertaken to ensure that data continues to support asset management. Practical advice on data management has been published by the Western European Roads Directors (WERD) (35).

Where authorities have not developed a Data Management Strategy then due consideration should be given to the individual aspects described above in developing their data requirements.

Training Requirements Those involved in data management need to have the knowledge and capability to specify and/ or undertake data collection and assess the quality of the information collected. Training on issues related to data collection and management are available through various different sources.

Page 156 TII Publications AM-GEN-00001 Asset Inventory (Roads) – Summary Report July 2021 D3 Management of Asset Data

Asset Registers Asset registers should be the repositories for all data associated with the asset, including inventory, location and performance. In their basic form, asset registers are databases for each individual asset type. They are used to support maintenance management and the management of defects as part of the asset management system In their advanced form, they are integrated databases with single network referencing. Authorities should store asset data in the format that is most appropriate for their organisational need. Each asset register has to be the “single source of truth” for highway authorities for each of its different asset types.

All asset data collected should be stored in an appropriate asset management system in a format that is cost effective, reliable and that enables it to be readily captured, transferred, accessed and used. In most instances, authorities have management systems that act as asset registers and facilitate the management of all asset data. The type and utilisation of these management systems is likely to vary between asset types and from one authority to another.

Network Referencing It is essential that consideration is given to how the location of any data is referenced and authorities should consider using a single set of rules for network referencing in all their asset registers. Most authorities may well be running more than one system of network referencing e.g. link and section for Pavement Asset Management System (PAMS), geo- spatial co-ordinates for GIS. Authorities should at least have data referenced to National Grid Co-ordinates – Irish Transverse Mercator.

Page 157 TII Publications AM-GEN-00001 Asset Inventory (Roads) – Summary Report July 2021 D4 Asset Management Systems

The functionality of a generic asset management system is illustrated in Figure 1 below. The generic components of an asset management system may be summarised as follows:

• GIS – This is a system that will hold and present all types of spatial data related to highway infrastructure assets. It may enable visualisation of the asset and analysis of data and presentation in a format usually with background mapping; • Asset database – The asset database is a register of assets. At its most advanced level it may be a single integrated database. Equally, it may comprise separate asset registers for each asset group, e.g. pavements and structures will have separate databases. It may hold inventory and condition data for each asset type. For example, a pavement management system such as TII Pavement Asset Management System or will hold inventory, condition and defects for pavements. A lighting management system would hold inventory data, maintenance history, condition and inspection data; • Maintenance management – A maintenance management system will record routine maintenance defects from safety inspections or reported by the public, and support raising works orders for their repair; invoicing and payments – Linking to the maintenance management system will ensure invoices and payments are made and are auditable; • Decision support systems – These will link to the asset database and support predictive modelling to determine future condition of an asset. They are likely to be integrated into more advanced asset management systems. They will be used to develop lifecycle planning and develop works programmes. They should also be able to support prioritisation of candidate schemes; and • Asset valuation – An asset valuation system will calculate Gross Replacement Costs and Depreciated Replacement Costs as part of Whole of Government Accounts, based on information provided in the asset database including inventory and condition.

Figure D1 Functionality Of A Generic Asset Management System

Page 158 TII Publications AM-GEN-00001 Asset Inventory (Roads) – Summary Report July 2021

The inputs to the system are discussed above. The outputs should provide the information and data required to support the asset management process.

Many local authorities now have systems such as MapRoad to support all of their asset types, including pavements, footways, cycleways, street lighting, traffic signals, and rights of way. In some cases, these databases have limited functionality to allow processing of condition to determine long term performance. Some systems have been developed for specific asset types such as structures and ITS.

Benefits of Asset Management Systems Asset management systems should be designed and upgraded to enable value from asset information and data to be maximised. With continual advancements in systems and technology, a number of potential benefits may be achieved that will support asset management including:

• A single source of asset data, reducing the risk of multiple databases with similar but inconsistent data; • Visual representation of the network, enabling senior decision makers to better understand the performance of the network and the consequence of investment decisions; • Support for objective investment decisions using lifecycle planning approaches, enabling the consequences of funding scenarios to be identified and presented quickly and efficiently; • Providing evidence to justify service outcomes or maintenance budgets; • Reporting against performance targets developed as part of the asset management planning process using visual displays such as dashboards; • Reporting and presenting long-term prioritised works programmes in a way that can be communicated effectively to stakeholders, including the public, staff, and service providers; • More effective management, through scheduling and optimisation of maintenance activities, including combining of works, potentially in single road closures; and • Improving consistency, transparency and accountability through process efficiencies, reducing duplication and supporting better data management.

Page 159 TII Publications AM-GEN-00001 Asset Inventory (Roads) – Summary Report July 2021 D5 Proposed Data Structure

A list of key contacts and sources for various asset datasets within TII was established from initial and subsequent stakeholder meetings. It became clear from an early stage of this data gathering exercise that a vast amount of asset data was available, albeit contained in various different database formats and referencing systems. Refer to Asset Data Register in Appendix A for further detail.

PMS have developed a labelling and storage structure for each of the available asset types. As it is required to report all asset types by route, subnetwork and local authority it is proposed to geolocate all available asset types where possible and store attributes and spatial information within a universal and recognised format such as an ESRI ArcGIS geodatabase.

For the purposed of this Asset Inventory project data will be structured and labelled in a recognisable format in line with TII Publications as per Table D1 below.

All data stored within the geodatabase can be viewed geospatially which facilitates various cross comparisons of data and quality assessment checks.

Figures D3 and D4 show extract screenshots from the ArcGIS user interface containing all of the geolocated assets received to date. Various asset types are shown in layers along the left of the screen which can be viewed in isolation or together with other asset types depending on specific queries.

Reporting For consistency of reporting all geospatial asset data will be linked to a 100m segmented route model for the national road network. This will enable assets to be reported by route, county and subnetwork of detailed geospatial, analytical and video review tasks. A detailed description of these methodologies is provided in Status Report 3.

Page 164 TII Publications AM-GEN-00001 Asset Inventory (Roads) – Summary Report July 2021 D6 Review of Key Data Received

A detailed asset register which provides a summary and quantification of asset data sourced and received to date is provided in Appendix A. All datasets received to date have been reviewed, converted where necessary and imported to the Asset Inventory geodatabase. A screenshot of the latest asset datasets in GIS are shown in Figure D2 above. There are c. 450,000 asset items in total split between point, polyline and polygon datasets (excluding non-physical assets such as pavement condition and GPR data which amount to another c.50000 points each per year at 100m intervals)

A summary of the sources and format of key asset data (Pavement, Structures, Land Area, ITS) is provided below.

Pavement Pavement widths and volume have been calculated from a combination of methods using both measured and estimated data. Quantities were determined by implementing a series of detailed geospatial, analytical and video review tasks. A detailed description of these methodologies is provided in Status Report 3.

Structures An extract from the Bridge Management System was received from TII in April 2019. The structures database is managed within a proprietary SQL database software known as Eirspan. An extract from this database was received in excel format containing c. 3250 structure assets located throughout the national road network. Key technical attribute information associated with the assets are included such as structure ID, name, location, no. of spans, overall length, width, deck area, deck principal material as well as latest condition as assessed by TII inspectors. A TII structures inventory manual has also been received which also provides added guidance for the inventory data.

Intelligent Transportation Systems - ITS An ITS dataset from the Asset Fault Management System (AFMS) hosted by Nicander (as a supplier to TII’s maintenance contractor Dynniq) was received in May 2019 in excel format containing c. 6200 ITS assets. Key attribute information such as asset no., type, location, manufacturer, model, serial no., install date, inspection date, condition and description are included.

Land Area Land area for the single carriageway network has been extracted from the OSI prime 2 way polygon which defines a digitised area of the land associated with the road network. This typically consists of the area between the nearest natural land boundary adjacent to the road which typically presents as a ditch, stone wall, fence, building face (in the case of urban areas) etc.

Land area boundaries for the motorway and dual carriageway MMaRC networks in Subnet 0 is defined by a geospatial polygon provided to PMS from the MMaRC RMMS system.

Signs & Road Markings An extract of the signs dataset from the Asset Fault Management System (AFMS) was received in May 2019, in excel format. The dataset which contains c. 111500 assets located across four regions; North West, North East, South West South East (excluding MMaRC & PPP Networks) Attribute information such as asset no., sign type, location, manufacturer, mounting is provided.

Road marking and road stud information was received from TII in May 2019. The data which is provided at 100 and 1000m intervals reports on the quality of RL values (retro reflectivity) for all edge and centre line markings on the national road network. Road stud condition information has also been received.

MMarC Data An extract from the Routine Maintenance Management System (RMMS) for the MMarC networks, A, B, and C was received in May 2019. A comprehensive dataset containing all asset types associated with the MMaRC network was provided by Atkins in three ArcGIS geodatabases, one for each network. These geodatabases contain multiple feature classes for various types of point, polygon and linear assets with corresponding technical information attached such as length, area, type etc. These RMMS geodatabases are in the same format and fully compatible with the existing TII Asset Inventory geodatabase under development as part of this project.

The asset data is labelled with predefined codes for each asset type e.g. SF – Safety Fence, SG – Traffic Signs. An extract of this labelling format is provided in Table D2 below. An exercise to review and cross check any duplicate information against data already received is underway.

Page 168 TII Publications AM-GEN-00001 Asset Inventory (Roads) – Summary Report July 2021 D7 Summary of Recommended Approach

To meet the requirements of the brief of this project it is recommended to implement a data structure which is centrally linked through a GIS system as outline above. It is recommended that all datasets which contain geospatial information should be aligned to the TII Linear Referencing System (LRS) which is a GIS Model with a unique identifier and chainage system for all elements of network i.e. Mainline Ramps Roundabouts etc. This GIS model is also projected to the latest national grid referencing system, Irish Transverse Mercator (ITM). The current dTIMS PAMS enterprise system is also compatible with the TII LRS.

For the purposes of this project it is recommended to segment the TII LRS centreline (CM) model to 100 metre intervals and geospatially align the centroid of all point, linear and polygonal assets to the nearest segment which will effectively link each asset with a unique route ID and 100m sample unit number. Each 100m sample unit will be attributed to a route number, local authority and subnetwork. This will be fundamental to the overall alignment and cross asset analysis of datasets for both inventory and valuation purposes. It is recommended to develop a labelling and storage structure for each of the asset types in line with TII publications series referencing.

It is recommended to store all attributes and spatial information within a universal and recognised format such as an ESRI ArcGIS geodatabase which is fully compatible with TII GIS organisational requirements. Once the geodatabase structure is in place a convenient mapping and video interface through ArcMAP and UbiPIX can be used for the purposes of data validation and quality assessment. Where datasets and/or geospatial information is not available (e.g. PPP network data) or where extrapolation is required for gaps identified, it is possible to align this sampled or proxy data to the road network by applying on a rate per km basis.

Aligning all datasets to one common linear referencing system will also enable dynamic reporting of assets through business intelligence (BI) software such as Tableau. This will facilitate a convenient method of drilling down through various asset groups at different reporting levels such as network, region, local authority, route and subnetwork. This will complement the subsequent valuation exercise whereby the inventory datasets can be updated with valuation rates information and allow the same reporting functionality of hierarchical display. An added benefit to this data structure would also allow a reporting by Maintaining Authority, such as MMaRC, PPP or local authority.
