Asset Management in Rural Roads-Need and Present Status HL Meena C.E. (PMGSY) PWD, Rajasthan
Key Challenges : Road Maintenance • Sustainability of assets • Basic cause of poor maintenance is insufficient allocation of resources • Low priority of maintenance in overall road development programme. • Inadequate and delayed maintenance, leading to faster deterioration of road assets. • Imprper geometrics and drainage • Inadequate and delayed adoption of modern technologies, construction methods and practices • Need to put in place a credible plan for maintenance of the road network
Issues for Discussion Part I Rural Road Status in RajasthanPart II Maintenance need and strategiesPart III Development of RRMS
PART - I Rural Road Infrastructure with Rajasthan
Roads Scenario in Rajasthan As on 31 Dec, 2008 (Length in Kms.) Total length of road network in state including PWD is 185042 kms
PART - II Rajasthan Roads Development Program
Norms and Standards A. Width of Roads (in Meters) B. Norms for Renewal as per State Road Policy 1. Renewal cycle for ODRs - 10 Yrs 2. Renewal cycle for Village Roads - 12 Yrs
Average Cost Estimates • Estimated Cost for Standard Single Lane Rural Road • Upgradation @ Rs 20-22 lacs per Km • Renewal @ Rs 5-6 lacs per Km • Ordinary Maintenance @ Rs 0.30 lac per Km/per Year
Assessing requirement of funds for maintenance of Rural Roads (Length in kms) • Total Length of Rural Roads 85887 • Length of BT Network • Old 51631 • New 34256 • Renewal cycle - Once in 12 years • Annual average renewal required 4300 Requirement of Funds(Rs. In cr.) • Annual average Cost of Renewal required 215 (@ Rs 5.0 Lacs/ Km ) • Annual average cost of Ordinary Repair 30 • Total Requirement of 5 Years (2005-2010) 1225 (215 + 30) x 5
Availability of Funds for Maintenance (Rs. in cr.)
Expenditure Incurred by State for Maintenance (Rs. in cr.)
Up gradation from WBM to BT Sanction issued for Rs 458 Crores of upgradation to BT of all damaged WBM roads. 4604 Km length completed incurring expenditure of Rs 451 crores Renewal Backlog Sanction of Rs 1696 crores issued for renewal of backlog of 8243 Km of SHW & MDR and 14248 Km of Rural Roads Renewal work completed in 19917 Km Other Maintenance Initiatives by State
Creating new and sustainable sources for future maintenance requirements • All new roads under defect liability for a five year period • Separate Maintenance Account • SRF along with Non-plan and NABARD loan to take care of future annual maintenance requirements • Further scope for increase in resources by doubling rate of Cess under SRF, as well resort to leveraging future receipts of SRF
Departmental Maintenance Rural Road constructed under Phase-I & II are being maintained by Departmental Labours. PWD, Rajasthan has got a huge manpower of 9553 workers as departmental labour to carry- out routine maintenance. Contractual Maintenance Rural Road constructed under Phase-III to VI are under Defect Liability period & being maintained by Contractors. Maintenance Activities : PMGSY Roads
Monitoring of Contractual Maintenance of PMGSY Roads • Specific provision in SBD for maintenance activity. • All PMGSY roads are covered with 5 yrs. Maintenance contract. • Activities and Periodicity of routine maintenance defined. • Frequency of inspection by all field officers prescribed. • Identification of defects and recording formats. • Timely Communication of defects to Agency. Monitoring • Field Officers are require to furnish Quarterly Reports. • Release of maintenance payment linked with Quarterly Reports.
PART - III Development of RMMS(Road Maintenance Management System)
: ROMAPS (Road Maintenance Planning Budgeting and Programming System) • It has been developed to assist Engineers in all aspects of road maintenance planning and management. • It helps in analysing road inventory & pavement surface condition • Inventory and condition data can be entered on annual basis. ROMAPS assist in :
Extended ROMAPS Facilities • Bridge, Culvert, and Road Sign inventories. • Schedules of maintainable and non-maintainable miscellaneous assets • A road sign management system • Periodic Maintenance planning • Possibility to interface with existing pavement management systems, including supplying candidates to HDM
ROMAPS Estimates Inventory and condition data can be entered at annual planning workshops. This offers the following advantages, including: • Saving time. Typically, data can be collected, entered and processed in the course of a two or three day Workshop. • Consistent data. Data is presented in an open forum through dialogue with local road staff.. • Commitment of field staff. Results are calculated and “fine-tuned” under the guidance of Workshop delegates. • Enforces policy. Estimates are based on policies and maintenance standards established by HQ planners.
ROMAPS OutputsEstimates • The cost to provide desirable levels of Routine Maintenance, built up by task and work section. • The cost of Emergency Maintenance based on the risk of damage to each section of road. • The cost of current and future Periodic Maintenance programmes. • Specific Maintenance of scheduled assets including, but not limited to Bridges, Culverts and Road Signs. • A schedule of Minor Works to strengthen the delivery of specific maintenance goals. ROMAPS generates the following maintenance estimates:
ROMAPS OutputsProgramming • Allocations dissected to maintenance heads and strategies according to prevailing policy. • Routine Maintenance allocations assigned to work section repair tasks according to ranking policy and inventory and condition data. • Frequency and duration of repair tasks calculated to make optimum use of assigned allocations. • Task types, durations and intervention frequencies scheduled by assigned resource for easy planning. • Possibility to use resource year planners prepared from task schedules • Field management using the Year Planners together with Daily Work Sheets
Progress Achieved ROMAPS has been installed in all 33 districts. The work was awarded to M/s Roughton International UK in JV with Consulting Engineers Group amounting to Rs. 279,51,000/ plus US$ 178,480. Data collection has been completed for 62500 Km. Pavement inventory has been verified for 750 Km. International Roughness Index (IRI) using ROMDAS has already been completed in 32 districts for 6200 Km. Training of ROMAPS has been completed for all districts. Annual maintenance plans for the year 2009-10 will be generated using ROMAPS.
