The Port of Rotterdam Authority (PoR) takes care of the development, construction, management and operation of the Rotterdam port area and promotes effective, safe and efficient shipping settlement in the port of Rotterdam and the coastal start-up area. The area has a huge surface area and runs from the Wilhelminapier to the Tweede Maasvlakte. The area consists of many kilometers of roads and green strips, thousands of light towers and many other objects. The Asset Management Infrastructure department has outsourced the operational management and maintenance of the dry infrastructure for the coming years by means of a performance contract to one contractor.
For monitoring the quality of the area and the management processes within the performance contract, PoR and the contractor use RE Infrabeheer. DEMO has developed RE Infrabeheer to make the quality of the infrastructure measurable, to be able to monitor and to be able to track over time. Inspection observations are objectified by the use of image measuring scales (based on CROW image measuring scales). By sending and processing the information directly digitally from the field without a paper translation, processes are streamlined. The responsible employees can take immediate action. This evidently saves a lot of work and visibly benefits quality. RE Infrabeheer is designed to exchange documents between the client and the contractor to make processes measurable. RE Infrabeheer ensures smarter and less expensive inspections with a higher and objective information value. Agreements from performance contracts become objective and measurable. Practice has now shown that this leads to substantial cost savings.
