Standards provide recognized best practices and guidelines but exceeding standards can provide greater value. Three sentences: Standards establish a baseline for asset management practices, processes, and systems but exceeding standards through proactive maintenance, predictive analytics, and integrated organization-wide systems allows organizations to optimize performance, manage risks, and achieve excellence in asset management. Integrating building information modeling (BIM) and asset management through the project lifecycle can improve long-term performance and reduce whole-life costs beyond what standards alone require. Adopting open standards for spatial data and common data protocols facilitates sharing of information and integration across organizations for better decision-making.

9. The INSPIRE Standard
A spatial information Infrastructure for Europe that defines:
● Meta data (Catalogue and discovery service)
● Data specification (for 40 spatial themes related to the environment)
● Network services (discover, view, download, transform evoke)
Facilitates sharing of spatial data amongst public sector in Europe
To be implemented in stages between 2010 and 2019
ISO19115 and ISO19139 – Metadata Standards
● Allows great flexibility in the recording of metadata for both datasets and services
● Widely supported by all GIS
● Metadata standards adopted for INSPIRE
UK GEMINI 2.1 – UK Metadata Standard
● The UK metadata standard
● Application schema of ISO19115 and ISO19139 for compliance to INSPIRE

12. Central Government Driven Initiatives
• Required to utilise PAS 1192 on any Government
spend over £5m from 2016
• Target to reduce public sector construction costs
by 15-20%
• If extended to all major projects, then between £1 billion and £2.5 billion per
annum savings within the UK can be realised in the construction phase alone.
• There is potentially even greater value in the post-construction in-service
phase.

15. PAS 55 definition of asset management
Asset management represents a cross-disciplinary approach to achieve sustained and best
value-for-money in the selection, construction/ acquisition, utilization, maintenance and
renewal/ disposal of physical infrastructure, plant and equipment.
Adapted from: BS PAS 55:2008
Asset Management
Systematic and coordinated activities and practices through which an
organisation optimally and sustainably manages its physical assets,
and their associated performance, risks and expenditures over their
lifecycle for the purpose of achieving its organisational strategic plan
Asset Management System (not an IT system!)
Organization’s policy, strategy, objectives and plans and the
activities, processes, systems and organization necessary for their
development, implementation and continual improvement
Asset
A physical item which has a value to the organization and has a
specific function, location and unique identification; for example a
road section, rail segment, equipment, tank, building, bridge, etc.

16. ISO 55000 definition of asset management
*Capabilities include people, resources, processes, information and technology
Adapted from: ISO 55000 CD2
Asset Management
coordinated activities of an organization to realise value
from assets over their life cycle in delivery of its objectives
Asset Management System
set of interrelated or interacting elements of an organization
to establish policies and objectives, and capabilities* to
achieve those objectives
Asset
something that has potential value to an organization and
for which the organization has a responsibility.

17. Differences between PAS-55 and ISO 55000
Note that unlike PAS 55, there is no specific requirement in ISO
55001 for taking a whole life approach to asset management
decisions; however, this can be mandated by the organisation through
its Asset Management Policy and Decision Criteria for investment
planning agreed with its stakeholders.

23. What is the Difference between 1192-2 & 3?
PAS 1192-3 focuses on the operational phase of assets irrespective of
whether these were:
• Commissioned through direct capital works
• Acquired through transfer of ownership or
• Already existed in an asset portfolio.
However, like PAS 1192-2, PAS 1192-3 applies to both building and
infrastructure assets.

24. Guidance for Leveraging the Relationship
between BIM and Asset Management
The benefits from an integrated, enterprise-wide and life cycle approach
to BIM and Asset Management, will include:
• Greater clarity on long-term in-service performance expectations and the
consequences of design-stage decisions over life cycle performance and cost.
• Reduced project start-up costs due to availability of better information at the beginning
of the project.
• Reduced construction and operational costs as a result of reduced construction
defects.
• Better life cycle management resulting from more readily available consolidated design
and construction information as a single source of data.
• Reduced management process costs arising from incomplete data.
