3. Our Challenges

4. The Wellington Asset Challenge
Source: WCC Infrastructure Strategy

5. Business Process Issues – When we began
No single source of data
Unstable link between ArcSDE and AMIS(s)
Inability to directly import electronic files
Duplication of manual data entry
Inability to import, extract and report on existing data in current systems
No intelligence or automation
Connectivity / Topology rules not enforced
Poor 3D capability
Revision of current data model required

6. Connectivity Trace
Blue assets not connected to main network

7. Age of the Storm Water Asset

8. Age of the Storm Water AC Asset

9. Real World Problem
WCC’s Assets are decaying at a rate of $2m per week

10. The Practical Problem – Asset Deterioration
Affordability & Sustainability

11. The Financial Problem
Wellington City’s 3-Water Assets Problem

12. Actions we have taken

13. Data Collection
Wastewater Pipes (All)
Stormwater Pipes (All)

14. Data Collection - Property

15. Data Collection - Housing
NOTE: Arlington and Kotuku are to HUP'd - We have not been able to survey 16 units

16. Investment Analytics – Any Road Pavement…
Wellington City Council – Local Roads
NZTA Wellington Region – State Highway

17. Investment Analytics – Any Pipe…
Wellington City Council – Wastewater Network
Wellington City Council – Stormwater Network

18. Investment Analytics – Pipe in any Suburb…

19. Investment Analytics – Any House, or Houses…

20. Import of electronic records to AMIS

28. System Interface(s) to Tech One for Assets
Simply put Stub data copies the key data about an asset item from the master dataset to another system. Data includes:
Asset ID
Which system holds the Master data
What it is
Where it is
Spatial NZTM x and y co-ordinates and Address
When it was installed
Costs for Valuation and Depreciation
Who Owns and Maintains
Current Asset Condition, and
Its expected Life

29. Next Generation 4D BIM – Asset Manager Visualisation Tools
E.g. Tenancy Manager Visualisation Tools

30. What are ‘Our’ Benefits?

31. Interdisciplinary Benefits – In Practice
Engineering (Asset / BU) – Operational & Capital
Forwards Works Programs – clear line of sight
Investigation (e.g. Condition Assessments, R&M, Materials Sampling, CCTV)
Replacement (incl. Interactivity – Roading Reseals vs. Pipe Renewals)
Identify where to Carry ‘Risk’ – based on Criticality
Run-to-Fail
Asset Performance (Practical & Financial)

32. Forwards Works Programs – transparency (30+ years)
Financial
Forwards Works Programs – transparency (30+ years)
Renewals Forecasting (depreciation commitments)
Growth Forecasting (LOS and Dev. Cont. Commitments)
WCC Borrowing Implications (e.g. Funding Caps)
Asset Performance
Financial – Economic Development Headroom
Carrying ‘Risk’ – on Cost / Benefit / Risk Paradigm
Meeting OAG Audit Requirements
30 year Infrastructure Plan

33. Economic Development (evidence base decision-making)
Spatial Planning
Economic Development (evidence base decision-making)
Economic Utility – Optimised urban planning – infrastructural capacity
Opportunity Cost of Investment – by Suburb (e.g. Karori vs. Miramar vs. Lincolnshire Farm)
Capacity Metrics – e.g. HEU’s maximum density
Social Metrics – e.g. Walking distance to a park
