CSIR’s advocacy and support of infrastructure asset management

Abstract

That increasing attention is being paid to infrastructure asset management (IAM) is timely, and owes something to the work of the CSIR in discovering and documenting the state of infrastructure, and in leading specific aspects of the process of improvement of IAM policy and practice in the public sector. The CSIR has long been involved in IAM, initially in respect only roads infrastructure, then also in the area of immovable asset management focussing on public sector buildings, and more recently in respect of water services infrastructure
