The practice of estimating capital resource requirements and costs is well developed. The estimation of ongoing operations and maintenance costs and resources less so and in many cases engineers rely on outdated averages which at least can be misleading and at worst result in poor asset performance affecting business and community goals. This fact is regularly raised in Engineers Australia and government infrastructure reports.
Improvement in planning through the life of assets is considered so critical that the requirement to do so has been incorporated in government infrastructure guidelines
Discussion will centre on examples from real life work on mobile mining port and rail system assets (including locos, ore cars and below rail infrastructure).
