Within the service life of infrastructures, post-execution management is especially important in the sense that it allows for proper user-service in the most efficient and economical way possible, preserving its estate value. Quality and features provided by a facility affect quality of life, social activity, and continuity and progress of economic activity related to it. TYPSA, in the wide scope of activities within civil engineering, considers it essential to coordinate all stages of planning, design, construction, conservation, renovation and operation of an infrastructure.

For all these reasons, since its foundation, TYPSA has carried out activities to fulfill the above mentioned cycle, providing its clients, both public and private, technical support in order to properly manage infrastructures. Among the division’s main fields of activity are the following: 

  • Technical and economic consulting in Public-Private Collaboration (CPP) processes, from process lay out to the operation's assessment and supervision audits.
  • Technical assistance to infrastructures integral management.
  • Infrastructures management systems.
  • Infrastructures inventory.
  • Evaluation and audits of the state of infrastructures and of the quality of services provided by these.
  • Infrastructures reform and restoration studies.
  • Infrastructures operation studies.
  • Road safety studies.

Inspection of conservation and operation of the M-30 ring road

As a starting point of tasks to such an end, TYPSA analyzed documentation concerning the M-30’s Mixed Economy Company contract for Public Service Management Towards Reform, Conservation and Operation in such a way that there was compliance with the criteria mentioned in it and that such criteria could be carried out in the most objective and efficient way possible.

Being a contract based on performance (Output and Performance based Road Contracts, OPRC) the goal is to be able to evaluate the state of elements and the quality of service provided.

Within the contract’s economic mandates, there are possible reductions for cases of non-fulfillment of operational standards in operations regulated by quality standards and for cases of non-fulfillment of regular recurrences, of functional and deterioration degree requirements and/or ordinary operational Action Plans.

All these aspects have been observed in the assessment methodology, considering not only the result but also the means, resources and organization at hand which are an essential requirement to comply with acceptable minimum thresholds concerning state and quality.

The works outlined here are very innovative and of great significance in the latest models of concessional infrastructure management.

Road safety audit for the AP6 toll-highway section

The target of such audit is to analyze the status of the infrastructure’s road safety, determining aspects with potential influence on accident rates.

As a result of this analysis a series of actions, in TYPSA’s judgment, are suggested in order to improve the infrastructure’s road safety.

An analysis was carried out monitoring the frequency of accidents in relation to precise location. The resulting areas have been analyzed from the standpoint of their geometric features and of the existing surroundings.

In Parallel, certain areas of the infrastructure were pinpointed as deficient or beyond regulation in terms of geometry or equipment; which, if not matching high accident-rate locations, show areas with potential insecurity.

Once all this information was gathered, on-site inspection was carried out at the highway by means of analyzing, confirming and adding defects, shortages, needs or possible improvements of the infrastructure and its equipment.

All this information makes it possible to obtain global insecurity indexes which allow a priority scale of interventions leading to an improvement of road safety.
