Infrastructure

UNDERSTANDING THE PROBLEM,
MEETING THE CHALLENGE.
Climate Change, Carbon Management, Environmental Impact Assessment, Safety Management – terms that simply didn’t exist when most of our infrastructure was being built over the past 100 years. Systems were built with little regard to the funding of their eventual renewal 30, 40, 80, … 200 years on. Concepts that were barely considered before are now impacting on the present operation and maintenance of capital-intensive assets and complicating the process of new construction where new systems need to operate alongside, and in sympathy with, existing networks. CAPCIS services include:

SUPPORTING ASSET MANAGEMENT
Infrastructure projects are as much about strategies and processes within complex contract structures as about design and construction. CAPCIS have an established track record of working at the highest levels of major infrastructure projects either directly for the owning authority or as a key part of contracting consortia.

DESIGN & DESIGN ASSESSMENT
Overcoming the conservatism of materials choice through published Standards to provide reduced cost while preserving asset life requires an understanding of materials behaviour in often complex environments.
More >>

DEGRADATION (DETERIORATION) MODELLING
CAPCIS is at the forefront of applying materials condition models to place inspection data in the context of service history, and predict future operational performance in support of asset integrity, maintenance and investment planning.
More >>

REFURBISHMENT AND REPAIR
Designing, auditing and specifying materials repair strategies for infrastructure ranging from discrete structures through to major assets.
More >>

STRAY CURRENT MANAGEMENT
The management of stray current leakage from d.c. electrified railways is an asset integrity and public safety issue for the rail operator and maintainer and for surrounding infrastructure owners and developers alike.
