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.
