To stay competitive and effectively manage their rolling stock, infrastructure and property assets, public transport organisations need to ensure that asset utilisation is maximised, but without causing undue asset degradation. Only by accomplishing this, is it possible to achieve a successful long-term transport system management. WSP assists organisations worldwide to ensure the best in asset and vehicle management services.
Experts in Asset Management for Rail and Transit Networks
WSP works together with rolling stock, infrastructure, and property owners to optimise the value and life of their assets as well as their effectiveness. We assist organisations by integrating management, engineering and financial decision-making across the infrastructure lifecycle and by giving clients access to highly refined data and “lessons learned” from working with clients from around the world.
We consider the entire asset lifecycle, from level of service or performance standards on through procurement, maintenance and operations, rehabilitation, and replacement planning.
Ensuring that real value, balance sheet value, and asset registers are matched and up-to-date is critical, as they may have an impact on the value and evaluation of an entire business.
