HIMA^TM Step 2 - Approach

What is the condition and/or the integrated condition?
 

Silo Approach
Harfan helps municipalities put together a complete picture of the condition of all of their networks. The Harfan CIP condition assessment and rating module uses a highly structured process.

Integrated Approach
Due to the close proximity and high level of interaction between infrastructure networks, cost-effective decisions on asset rehabilitation require an integrated approach. Harfan’s innovation lies in evaluating water, sewer, and road networks by considering their high degree of spatial interaction. Knowing the condition of these networks as a whole is an incredible trump card for municipal administrators.

Approach

• Strategic counseling based on industry standards and best practices. The Harfan CIP
  Builder calculates a network’s current condition, assesses the risk, and determines the gap between the two.

• Uses powerful, precise mathematical algorithms to produce a single, comprehensive assessment and rating of a network’s condition based on multiple criteria, including physical and functional integrity, socioeconomic impact, and risk.

• The Harfan CIP Builder rates an asset’s current condition using criteria such as pipe breakage history, defects, events (such as sewage backups), physical configuration (frost line, spatial position), environmental conditions (such as soil aggressiveness), and action effects (bus lines)

• Evaluates unassessed assets based on the performance of similar assets to minimize the need for inspection.

• Determines the need for each improvement through integrated condition assessment.

• Can be custom-calibrated for the organization as part of Harfan’s ongoing commitment to excellence.
