Motorway Asset Management and Follow-Up Policies

In order to maintain its structural assets in good working condition and best allocate maintenance funds, ASF has established a formal set of asset management and follow-up policies. These policies enumerate the different obligations: the motorway specifications which delineate a number of more or less clearly defined requirements, the standards and the legislation binding upon motorway managers. Where there is no legislation, internal policy has been formulated and implemented to manage certain structures where failure could affect client safety, cause environmental harm or generate serious economic consequences. Accordingly, policies covering the pavement, the engineering and hydraulic structures, sewage and water protection systems, superstructures, vertical and horizontal signs, and other, have been established. Then, the paper describes in detail road follow-up and management and tools and systems used by the motorway manager.
