ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT End of life of assets is an important issue as many structures are reaching the end of their design life time. Early indication of end of life is needed to be able to combine system redesign, land use redesign and renovation and replacement activities. Long term life time expectancy (more than 10 to 20 years) of specific objects is needed. This paper is about the search for long term end of life indicators, the data needed and the assessment of the asset port-folio in this respect. The paper is mainly meant to start the discussion on the topic and to present results of the first steps taken in the last year on the subject in the Netherlands.
