KS Training | Asset Management for Water and Wastewater Systems
Location: Buhler Fire Department; 301 N Main St. Buhler, Kansas 67522
Description: Asset management provides the tools needed to actively and consistently analyze current operations and future needs to develop robust management systems and well-designed infrastructure plans to meet increasing challenges. It is a framework that helps utilities provide the desired level of service at the lowest life cycle cost. The asset management framework consists of 5 core concepts:
- Asset Inventory
- Level of Service
- Criticality
- Life Cycle Costing
- Long-Term Funding
Participants will learn the basics of asset management while beginning a basic asset inventory of their system using the SCAP tool. Attendees will be guided through entering system information into the SCAP tool and starting an asset inventory/assessment for their utility. All participants will receive a free copy of the SCAP asset management tool along with supporting documents.
