management of flood infrastructure Session Outline
Presentations (6 x 5mins)Challenges of infrastructure management
(Paul Sayers)Blockage Its prediction and importance (Nick
Wallerstein)Gully performance - connecting above and below ground
system (Slobodan Djordjevic)Asset condition linking remote and
visual inspection (Martin Smith) Breach growth Rapid and more
complex models (Myron van Damme) Computer support for
infrastructure planning decisions (Jim Hall)
Plenary discussion (45mins)With the Panel taking questions from
the floor so remember your questions!

www.floodrisk.org.ukEPSRC Grant: EP/FP202511/14What are
infrastructure assets?A wide range of assets:Linear assets (above
ground) e.g. a raised defence (levee or dyke) through to major dams
structuresLinear assets (below ground) e.g. urban drainage
networksInterface assetsE.g. culverts, manholes etcPoint assetse.g.
a pump, gate or culvert trash screenWatercourses and channelsE.g.
the vegetation and sediment within a channel and
floodplainCoastlinese.g. a groyne, beach or backshore

physical and engineering challenges

5Scale of the challengeEngland and WalesAnnual expenditure on
maintenance / improvement approx. 450m 20 billion of sunk
investmentWater companies100s millions required!USAUS Corp of
Engineers estimate $2.2 trillion to maintain levees at a desirable
standard (Steve Stockton)

6Some difficult questions.
Perform under load or on demand?Improve or deteriorate
with/without action?
How will an assetPerform now and in the future?Which assets
contribute most to risk?How will the system...Hot spots?Investment
need?How might these change ?
What are the nationalA range of spatial and temporal scales of
interestwww.floodrisk.org.ukEPSRC Grant: EP/FP202511/1Some of the
big questions
Limited resourceswhere to best spend, how to best spend it, how
will asset actually perform under load and on demand, how will this
change through time due to deterioration etc, how will future
change influence performance and what should we do how to prepared
should we be?
To act cross disciplinary approaches and hence the work on asset
management is through the Frmrc and the presentations chosen here
reflect this
7How is the research in FRMRC helping?
www.floodrisk.org.ukEPSRC Grant: EP/FP202511/18Conclusions
Many more challenges ..
but FRMRC provides some innovative and useable
advances.www.floodrisk.org.ukEPSRC Grant: EP/FP202511/1Some of the
