Course Overview
Reactive work on bridge and concrete structure maintenance costs several times what the same job costs when planned. Spares strategy for structure maintenance is an availability decision disguised as a cost decision. It is appropriate for those preparing to take on wider responsibility for the practice within engineering and maintenance work. Participants develop a defensible line of reasoning for the choices they make about bridge and concrete structure maintenance. Benchmarking exercises repeatedly place this strand of engineering and maintenance work among the areas with the widest performance spread. Plans for structure maintenance often fail at the handover point between functions. Discussion is anchored to worked examples of bridge and concrete structure maintenance rather than to abstract argument. The programme is built to be used, and every section of structure maintenance it covers ends in something applicable. It ends with a prioritised list of changes to this part of engineering and maintenance work that the participant is prepared to defend internally.
Expected Learning Outcomes

Course Modules
Bridge and concrete structure maintenance: choosing the right maintenance strategy
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Repair or replace: making the case on bridge and concrete structure maintenance
- Remove steps in bridge and concrete structure maintenance that add effort without adding assurance.
- Confirm isolation and permit requirements before any work on structure maintenance.
- Set out how exceptions to bridge and concrete structure maintenance are requested and approved.
- Set inspection intervals for structure maintenance from condition data where it exists.
Session 2Inspection intervals for structure maintenance that are not just habit
- Establish the boundary of bridge and concrete structure maintenance and record what sits outside it.
- Choose the maintenance strategy for structure maintenance based on failure pattern, not tradition.
- Record what was learned when bridge and concrete structure maintenance did not go as planned.
- Draft the minimum viable maintenance procedure for structure maintenance.
Structure maintenance: condition monitoring and warning time
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Building lasting competence in structure maintenance
- Anticipate the objections bridge and concrete structure maintenance will raise and prepare the answers.
- Confirm lubrication, alignment and balance standards applied to structure maintenance.
- Set the review interval for bridge and concrete structure maintenance and who attends.
- Build the life cycle cost model supporting repair or replace on structure maintenance.
Session 2Investigating the failure on structure maintenance that keeps returning
- Set maintenance indicators for bridge and concrete structure maintenance that reward planning rather than heroics.
- Identify critical spares for structure maintenance and confirm lead times against consequence.
- Identify where judgement in bridge and concrete structure maintenance is legitimate and where it is not.
- Write down the assumptions underpinning the approach to structure maintenance.
Structure maintenance: turnarounds, contractors and scope control
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Controlling turnaround scope on structure maintenance
- Arrange the handover of bridge and concrete structure maintenance so capability survives staff changes.
- Establish what evidence demonstrates structure maintenance is under control.
- Confirm that contractual obligations around bridge and concrete structure maintenance are understood.
- Investigate repeat failures on structure maintenance to root cause, not to component.
Session 2Maintenance indicators for bridge and concrete structure maintenance that change behaviour
- Update drawings and documentation after every modification to bridge and concrete structure maintenance.
- Identify the data already collected that bears on structure maintenance.
- Agree the smallest change to bridge and concrete structure maintenance that would be visibly useful.
- Assign a criticality rating to structure maintenance that drives work order priority.
Structure maintenance: safe isolation and permit control
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Moving structure maintenance from approval to execution

- Verify contractor competence and method statements for structure maintenance.
- Estimate the true cost of one hour of unplanned downtime on bridge and concrete structure maintenance.
- Calculate the ratio of planned to reactive work on structure maintenance.
Session 2What has to be agreed before work on structure maintenance starts
- Specify condition monitoring on bridge and concrete structure maintenance that gives usable warning time.
- Set out the decisions in structure maintenance that require sign-off and by whom.
- Assess energy loss attributable to the condition of bridge and concrete structure maintenance.
- Plan the sequence in which improvements to structure maintenance will be introduced.
