Management of Highway Structures

It is widely recognised that a well-managed transport infrastructure is vital to the economic stability, growth and social well being of a country. Bridges and other highway structures are fundamental to the transport infrastructure because they form essential links in the highway network. The third of three Codes of Practice, "Management of Highway Structures" provides authoritative guidance on highway structures maintenance and the development of recognised Good Management Practice. Developed around an asset management approach, this Code is organised around key themes of highway structures management: introduction, purpose, scope and status; bridge management system; highways structure team; data and information; management context; asset management planning and resource accounting; maintenance planning and management; and engineering processes.
