Introduction

Engineers and managers working in the field of design, construction and maintenance of structures often feel the lack of a comprehensive practical guide on the practice, needs and effective programs of good maintenance. Few practical references are available that bridge the gap between theoretical, technical, practical, and managerial matters in this regard.
This course is planned to answer technical questions frequently asked by the practicing engineer and the executive.
It includes information about lean maintenance, new trends in maintenance and repair, employing short repairs and high productivity, self-directed work teams, the law of intelligent action, types and causes of common deficiencies of structures, workable preventive measures for the decay and deterioration of structures, maintenance work types, root cause analysis, comprehensive check list library, and the use of innovative technology and new materials.

Objectives

• To understand the causes and mechanisms leading to deficient facilities
• To workout preventive measures to counteract deterioration of facilities
• To learn about new trends in maintenance
• To explain the principles of lean maintenance
• To plan effective maintenance programs
• To understand the nature of innovative technology and new materials
• To learn about specific needs and requirements for concrete, steel and other structures
• To comprehend the role of the designer, the contractor and the supervision in producing sound structures
• To provide an overview for the role of effective management
• To provide a comprehensive check list library for maintenance jobs
• To present several case studies of effective maintenance jobs
• To learn from historical structures that stood the test of time

Who Should Attend?

This course is designed to meet the needs primarily of engineers and managers, working around civil engineering construction, and facing the challenges of maintaining and preserving good, sound structures, utilities and services.
It is specifically useful for engineers of any discipline, quality assurance experts, construction and supervision engineers, owners, and managers of constructed facilities.
It is expected that several of the attendees will find the information beneficial and a useful addition to their reference library even though they are not directly practicing in the field.
