Description

The Full Cost Accounting Program is intended to promote fiscal planning amongst municipal waterworks systems. One of the factors contributing to the sustainability of a waterworks system is a sound financial plan that addresses the system's assets and operations. This in turn requires the costs associated with the provision of safe, secure supplies of drinking water to be readily available and determined in a consistent manner across the province. Municipalities are encouraged to participate in this voluntary program that provides waterworks owners with the tools necessary to report and track infrastructure, operational and administrative costs.

Description

The Alberta Transportation bridge inspection program is an essential part of a comprehensive inventory, inspection, maintenance, and data management system called the Bridge Inspection and Maintenance (BIM) System. The inspection component, introduced in 1987, allows for regular scheduled inspections at all bridge and culvert sites.

The Level 2 inspections are the tools that provide the detailed inspection and test information to the system. This helps to maximize the life and serviceability of bridge structures by identifying problems and...
