Description
Under a consent decree since 2002 that was modified in 2017 (MCD), the City of Baltimore’s Department of Public Works (DPW) manages the operation and maintenance (O&M) and capital improvement (CIP) activities required by the MCD, in addition to a broader mission to implement sound asset management principles across the organization. This presentation will feature a deep dive into the evolution of DPW’s sewer data management and asset management programs—facilitated in part by the implementation of InfoAsset Manager, which led to the optimization of their O&M and CIP plans. You’ll learn the processes within the software and strategies employed to select assets for condition assessment; import; manage and evaluate the inspection data; develop O&M programs for cyclical cleaning, root, and grease control; and develop CIP projects using condition assessment data. We’ll also describe the multiple savings to DPW following the software implementation over the past five years.
