ANALYSIS OF INFRASTRUCTURE CORROSION USING REAL PROPERTY PORTFOLIO CONDITION ASSESSMENT DATA

Abstract

Facility Condition Assessments are a tool for Facility Managers to assess the maintenance needs of facilities and installed equipment and plan sustainment, restoration, and modernization activities. As the use of these tools and the data contained within them grows, data analysis can be used to reveal new information for practical purposes and a better understanding of a real property inventory. Understanding how the environment affects buildings is also critical to making informed maintenance and repair decisions, especially in the context of climate change impacts. This research examines the suitability and implication of using existing corrosion risk assessment techniques for understanding the relationship between corrosion and Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning Equipment at the strategic infrastructure portfolio level.
