MEEETING THE CHALLENGE OF INTEGRATING A PAVEMENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM WITH TOTAL INFRASTRUCTURE MANAGEMENT IN KUWAIT

To meet the infrastructure management challenges of the 21st Century, the Maintenance Administration of the Kuwait Ministry of Public Works (MPW) has realized that using state-of-the-art technologies and modern management techniques, including geographic information systems, is a must. Consequently, the Maintenance Administration (MA) has launched a massive and comprehensive program to implement a nationwide integrated infrastructure management system. The system will help ensure that limited maintenance funds are targeted to priority needs and that the infrastructure is maintained in the most cost effective manner over the long term.
