2007 wakeup call Hollandse Brug, Incident with great impact on network performance 14 months closed for trucks 8
Malfunction of installations, case Spijkenisserbrug 9
End of service life; problem or opportunity? At first look big problem - great change for improvement: The need for replacement of many installations in structures like tunnels and shipping locks Innovative perspectives where structures are modernized; New technology can provide better performance at lower cost and energy consumption can be reduced; This can strengthen the connections with the natural environment as well as the social environment in the cities. Even more opportunities arise when we take this to a network level. The opportunity to rethink the functions and features of the networks. 10
Program for replacement and renovation Three new elements were introduced: A Prognosis Report with a forecast of the need for replacement and renovation up to 2050 has been developed; The program replacement and renovation is integrated in the investment program. Including a process for decisions by the ministry has been set up; Central coordination of the executional programs is implemented in the organization. 11
Prognosis costs replacement & renovation Up to 2020 2021 / 2023 2024 / 2030 from 2031 Program in execution Inspections max t+10 year Issues Statistical analysis 12
Statistical analysis Concrete bridges and viaducts Life time demolished objects: Relative low life time 89% functional reasons Increasing part non reusable objects in renewal and extension Life time objects still in use Majority of objects Increasing life time Results: 13 2003: 75 years 2011: 80 years 2015: 80,4 years AM Symposium TU Delft December 22 2016

Results 2014 (edition 2016 in production) 17 AM Symposium TU Delft December 22 2016
Experience running program First projects technical approach: Restore the original situation by either replacement or renovation of the objects in the scope; extended maintenance This resulted in problems: Neglected requirements from stakeholders came up during the preparation of the projects; Technical complications resulted in budget overruns. Conclusion: different type of projects, need a dedicated process: A two-step decision process is introduced with step 1 the intake and step 2 the project assignment; Integrated in the investment program: Asset manager, develops options, asset owner, Ministry decides 18
Step 1: rough categorization 1. Simple substitutions of the functionality, no need to investigate changes 2. Relatively limited need for change of functionality and/or additional requirements from stakeholders. 3. Complex cases with respect to change in functionality or stakeholders requirements. The first two categories will be prepared within the program for replacement and renovation. The third will follow the same procedures as investments for new infrastructure. 19
Step 2; broad range of solutions Seven alternative solutions have to be considered: 1. Do nothing 2. Intensified maintenance 3. Restricted use 4. Renovation 5. Replacement by comparable structure with identical functionality 6. Replacement by comparable structure with up-grade in functionality 7. Something completely different; for example replace a movable bridge by a tunnel Life Cycle Cost assessment to compare solutions /scenario s of combinations of solutions 20

Conclusions Past century: Many new structures were built in a green field in the expanding networks; Now: Networks are developed within their existing borders; Structures are reaching their end of service life; This calls for new ways of thinking and adequate procedures to keep up the network performance, when successful reward is: better performance at lower costs and sustainability will benefit. Necessary: Reliable long term prognosis; Convincing story policy makers to allocate sufficient budgets; An effective process that can deal with the uncertainties and creates flexibility is needed. 23
