Strategic Planning for Sustainable Infrastructure Management

An Asset Management Plan (AMP) is essential for municipalities and utilities seeking to maintain their water, wastewater, and stormwater systems effectively while complying with Environmental Protection Division (EPD) regulations. Engineering Management, Inc. (EMI) specializes in creating comprehensive EPD-compliant Asset Management Plans that help communities manage their infrastructure sustainably, optimize resources, and plan for the future.

​

What is an Asset Management Plan?

An Asset Management Plan (AMP) is a strategic document that outlines how a municipality or utility will manage its infrastructure assets over time. These assets can include water distribution networks, wastewater treatment facilities, stormwater systems, and more. The goal of an AMP is to ensure that these critical assets are maintained, repaired, and replaced in a cost-effective manner while meeting all regulatory requirements. An EPD-compliant AMP also focuses on long-term sustainability and environmental stewardship.

Our Asset Management Plan Services

EMI offers a full suite of services to assist municipalities in developing and implementing EPD-compliant Asset Management Plans:

• Inventory and Condition Assessment: We conduct a comprehensive inventory of all infrastructure assets, assessing their current condition, remaining useful life, and criticality to system operation. This assessment forms the foundation of the AMP, enabling informed decision-making.

• Risk Assessment and Prioritization: EMI evaluates the risks associated with each asset, including the likelihood of failure and the potential consequences. We prioritize assets based on risk, helping municipalities focus their resources on the most critical needs.

• Lifecycle Cost Analysis: Our team performs a detailed analysis of the lifecycle costs of maintaining, repairing, and replacing assets. We provide cost-effective strategies that balance short-term needs with long-term sustainability.

• Capital Improvement Planning: EMI assists in developing a Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) that aligns with the AMP. The CIP outlines the timing and funding of major projects, ensuring that infrastructure improvements are planned and budgeted effectively.

• Regulatory Compliance and Reporting: We ensure that your AMP meets all EPD requirements and guidelines. Our team prepares detailed documentation and reporting to demonstrate compliance and support funding applications.

• Ongoing Monitoring and Updates: Asset management is an ongoing process. EMI provides tools and services for monitoring asset performance, tracking maintenance activities, and updating the AMP as conditions change. This ensures that your plan remains relevant and effective over time.
