Presentation Summary
As with any infrastructure component, your parkade requires maintenance. In this
discussion you’ll learn about the maintenance requirements along with the routine repairs
that should be expected over the life time of the facility. You’ll also learn why not
completing the routine maintenance will lead to far more expensive repairs in the future.
Equally important in maintaining your parkade is the development of an asset management
plan. Asset management planning is an important component in your parking operation
that, if overlooked, can have major financial impacts when unexpected repairs occur.
Lastly, once your asset management plan has been developed, implementation of the plan
is required. This discussion will identify software tools available that can help you
efficiently manage the asset.

How long must each structure remain open?
Which structure(s) need attention and in what order?
For long-term structures, which repairs will maximize service life?
For structures which are programmed for demolition, which minimal repairs
ensure safety?
What structural maintenance should occur and how frequently?
What are the long-term (usually 10 years) probable costs of each structure’s
maintenance/repair?
