Standards Development
This standard will:
- provide guidance to help organisations develop their drainage (surface water, not sewerage) maintenance plans (e.g. checklists to assist when prioritising interventions to get best results out of limited maintenance budgets to minimise flooding and maximise other benefits of good drainage)
- signpost organisations to relevant industry specific guidance
- include good practice case studies to inspire and provide confidence
- include a section on things to consider in contingency plans, where budget falls short
- include tips on partnership working internally and externally (or signpost to useful documents).
Asset management organisations struggle with developing effective maintenance plans with limited operational (OPEX) budgets. This guide will help organisations think how to best prioritise their operational investment to align with their organisation’s objectives. It will do this by signposting to existing documentation, providing case studies and providing prompts for what they should consider (via checklist, or decision trees for example).
It will not:
- provide a standard solution, as each organisation has different needs; this would not be appropriate.
- repeat good practice that is written elsewhere, rather it will signpost people to relevant documents (eg CIRIA/ Sewers for adoption etc., EN752, BSEN 14654 series)
- cover renewals/ capital expenditure
- cover sewerage assets
