Tactical Lifecycle Management - Promoting Sustainable Municipal Infrastructure and Partnerships for Reliability Presenter: Philip Lawlor
Manager, Treatment Plant Maintenance, Regional Municipality of Halton
Co-presenter:
Alex Pallo Project Manager - Water Services Description:
This presentation will showcase the collaborative efforts of Halton Region’s maintenance and capital teams to identify alternative strategies for maintaining physical assets beyond the typical replacement approach suggested by standard lifecycle models. In addition to the capital needs assessments and lifecycle model projections, maintenance introduced an innovative approach that combines detailed component-level condition appraisals with alternative tactical lifecycle options, including refurbishment, RCM-R, OEM-R, and “do nothing.” The session will feature worked examples to illustrate this approach. The aim of this presentation is to demonstrate how municipalities can invest in and leverage maintenance and reliability functions to reduce capital budgets while enhancing the capabilities of teams responsible for the care of physical assets in an environmentally sustainable manner.
