We give agencies the power to make solid investment decisions that preserve and prolong the life of their transportation assets.
As an agency, you have a lot of money invested in your transportation assets. Investing wisely in those assets enables you to preserve their value and provide the best possible level of service to the traveling public. Whether you are just getting started in asset management or looking to enhance your current capabilities, APTech has the experience and expertise to support your efforts. Our involvement has covered all aspects of asset management, from the development of national guidance to the implementation of that guidance at state and local levels.
Our world-class team has led the development of Transportation Asset Management Plans, created asset management strategic plans, facilitated training and workshops to convey asset management principles, and supported the collection and analysis of data to support investment decisions.
Let APTech’s highly trained asset management specialists use their knowledge and experience to ensure the success of your next project. Our transportation asset management services include:
Asset Management Strategic Planning
Whether you are looking to conduct an assessment of current practices, establish a long-term vision for asset management, craft an effective asset management policy, or set practical strategic goals and objectives, APTech can facilitate your efforts and fast-track its implementation.
Transportation Asset Management Plan Development
APTech guided many state transportation agencies through the development of federally-compliant TAMPs. APTech can support your future TAMP development by facilitating meetings of steering committees, providing technical service in key areas such as life-cycle planning, or updating the document to better meet the requirements, and the spirit, of the federal legislation.
Data and Analysis
Asset management depends on quality information to support business decisions. Our team can help you identify the information needed, ensure data quality, model deterioration patterns, or better analyze life cycle strategies that include cost-effective preservation treatments.
TAMP Implementation
The APTech team can guide your efforts to establish business processes that support both strategic and tactical decisions. We can help you assess what is working well and where adjustments might be needed to make better use of available resources.
Technology Transfer
The success of your implementation often relies on changes to traditional ways of doing business. This demands that agency personnel understand why the changes are being made, how they will be impacted, and what role they will serve in the new business processes. Through training, workshops, peer exchanges, and communication plans, APTech can help you address these needs to ensure that your team has the knowledge and skills required to adapt to a changing future.
