ESDN can accommodate the integration of all geo-referenced urban assets that hold value for the Town into a single GIS system, by linking all infrastructure components that share a common location within an identified multi-layer base-map. The integrated Urban Asset Management system incorporates any existing information that can be used to support effective financial planning, preventative maintenance and risk management programs currently in place.
Good asset management can maximize the benefits provided by infrastructure as it deals with the long-term perspective. It also gives the Town the opportunity to achieve cost savings by identifying decline early on so action can be taken to rehabilitate or renew the asset, or related assets found within the infrastructure corridor.
