The Present Conditions and Sustainability of Underground Infrastructure Asset Management in Mainland China
With an aging underground infrastructure and the influence of other factors such as population growth, tighter health and environmental requirements, inadequate inspection and maintenance, and lack of consistency and uniformity in design, construction and operation practices, the performances of underground infrastructure is in very serious condition. It is reported that 70% of Chinese cities do not have the basic data about the underground infrastructure, which frequently results in damage to existing underground infrastructure on the construction job site. The direct and indirect economic loss is estimated up to 6 billion dollars each year in mainland China. In this paper, the authors discuss the present conditions of underground infrastructure in detail, analyze the main factors affecting the performances of underground infrastructure, and put forth some long term methods or efforts which should be taken to ensure the sustainability of underground infrastructure in mainland China.
