Seminar on Results Management for Public Sector Excellence: Transport 19th May 2011, Singapore Nepal Country Presentation on Integrated Transport Sector Plans and Road Asset Management for Efficient and Effective Road Transport Services Presented By Mr. Yogendra Kumar Rai Deputy Director General Planning and Design Department of Roads, Nepal
National Transport Policy • The principal objective of the National Transport Policy is to develop a reliable, cost effective, safe facility oriented and sustainable transport system that promotes and sustains the economic, social, cultural and tourism development of Nepal as a whole.
Integrated Transport Mode • Air Transport • Railways • Ropeways • Main Trails and Tracks • Roads
TYPES OF ROADS • Strategic Road Network • Local Road Network • Urban Roads • Rural Roads Road Agencies: • DoR • DoLIDAR • Local Bodies
Coverage of Road Assets • Consists of road and its structures • Bridges and other cross drainage works • Road reserve as defined by the right of way (RoW) • Land building and other properties occupied/ acquired by the road agencies • Vehicles, plants and machinery
ROAD ASSET VALUE Estimate superseding NRs. 200 billion Rs. 90 billion (2006 value without land and buildings) Road asset Register draft submitted June 2010, Road asset value NRs. 123.42 billion (2008 cost without land and bldg.)
OBJECTIVES/SCOPE • To rigorously study various Road maintenance approaches • To identify appropriate model in road asset management • To discuss with concerned stakeholders the concept of sustainable road asset management • To recommend the government, reforms required • To generate bankable projects
Road Asset Management • The World Road Association has defined Asset Management as a systematic process of effectively maintaining, upgrading and operating assets, combining engineering principles with sound business practice and economic rationale, and providing the tools to facilitate a more organized and flexible approach to making decisions necessary to achieve the public's expectations.
CONCEPT OF ROAD ASSET MANAGEMENT In 1988, World Bank reported that deterioration of roads in developing country was extensive Some of the facts were : • 15% of capital invested in roads was eroded due to inadequate fund for maintenance; 3 to 4 times additional money due to delay in maintenance • For every new km built, 3km of existing road would be no more operable due to lack of maintenance; • For each unit of money not allocated for maintenance Vehicle Operating Cost (VOC) increased by 3 to 4 folds
Road Asset Management is systematic processing, operating, maintaining, upgrading and preserving road and its reserve and other assets effectively through out its life cycle
Focus on Road Asset Preservation in Nepal • Concept of Planned Maintenance - 1993/1994 - SDC • Started as Strengthened Maintenance Division Process (SMD) • GoN took over and establishment of RBN in 2002 (2059)
Asset Management/ Preservation • Methodology: To preserve the road assets planned maintenance is carried out by the SMD’s based on defined need assessment. The database prepared in the process consists of : • Road register containing details of pavement type, infrastructure details, off side road structures, bridges and culvert details. • Condition of road indicating roughness (IRI) and surface distress (SDI) • Traffic Survey Data • Age of existing road • Importance of road from National perspective.
Routine Maintenance • Recurrent Maintenance • Specific Maintenance • Periodic Maintenance • Emergency Maintenance • Bio Engineering, Road Safety • Bridge Maintenace • Rehabilitation • Reconstruction • Upgrading Activities Under Asset Preservation
Road Status from Road Condition Survey 2009/10 9922 km Good to fair = 78% of BT Road
Further Study in Asset Preservation Road Infrastructure Asset Management for Efficient and Effective Road Transport Service - Economic Policy Network II (EPN-II) Government of Nepal/Asian Development Bank under TA: 7042 –NEP
Recommendation with Action Matrix GROUP I: IMPLEMENTATION
Contd.. GROUP II: POLICY
Way forward: • Inventory of SRN using GPS and Maintenance of Asset Register • Road Condition Survey using vehicle mounted automatic profilometer • Use of web based data exchange programs for creating Asset Management Databases
