MANAGEMENT OF BRIDGES IN GERMANY

The Federal Ministry of Transport, Building and Housing is aiming for a comprehensive Management System taking into account state-specific and federal requirements as well as existing regulations in the frame of maintenance planning. The system is subdivided into three processes, each comprising special tools for valuation, analysing and planning. Some of the sub-modules have already been realised, eg the database at state level, the inspection procedure in combination with the procedures of damage and condition assessment and the estimation of future maintenance costs at federal level. Other sub-modules are currently being prepared, eg tools for evaluation and selection of measures. However, a large portion of the essential issues are still in the planning phase, eg program creation by taking restrictions into account. The realisation of the complete Management System will be finished by the year 2005. (A) For the covering abstract see ITRD E 106406.
