Decision Support Model for Integrated Risk Assessment and Prioritization of Intervention Plans of Municipal Infrastructure

AbstractThis paper presents a model for the integrated risk-based prioritization of municipal infrastructure assets. The model is a three-module decision-making tool for planning risk-based rehabilitation of water and sewer networks sharing the same corridor. The model is developed to identify corridor segments, assess risk of individual and integrated asset networks, and to set priorities for intervention plans of related critical corridor segments. The probability of failure of water pipe segments is calculated utilizing data from municipal inspection reports, while the probability of failure of sewer pipe segments is determined by soliciting experts’ opinions. The consequences of failure for individual water and sewer networks account for 13 economic, social, and environmental factors. Risk matrices are used to determine the criticality index of water and sewer segments depending on the combinations of probability and consequences of failure for each network measured on an ordinal scale. To integrate w...
