• Abstract:
  The primary objective of this research is to develop a Drainage Information Analysis and Mapping System (DIAMS), with online inspection ; data submission, which will comply with the necessary requirements, mandated by both the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB-34) ; and the federal storm water regulations. The DIAMS project will serve as a vehicle for evaluating underground drainage infrastructure assets which ; includes locating and cataloging pipes, storm-water devices (e.g., manufactured treatment devices), outfalls, and other structures, (e.g., manholes ; and catch basins), as well as, collecting inspection and rehabilitation/replacement/repair data. The DIAMS has an electronic documentation system ; that performs quality checks on the submitted inspection data and stores the approved data in a comprehensive information management system ; for updating, analysis, classification and mapping. The DIAMS utilizes a two layer front and back end management tool comprised of MS Access ; for data submission and SQL database for data storage that is accessed through a graphical user interface (GUI). The GUI is structured into four ; modules: Data Uploading, Asset Identification, System Administration, and Financial Analysis. The Data Uploading module includes the ; conversion of user input field data into comprehensive information format, review of input data, quality assurance and quality control checking, and ; appending the data to the system database. Users can locate assets needing immediate repair by road/milepost based upon their condition state. ; The Asset Identification module stores all the receiving storm water data such as the quality/quantity of water and discharge to watersheds, while ; also being able to develop general property reports. The module also gives users an assessed condition state, which allows them to select the best ; treatment technique. The System Administration module allows individual flexibility through editing keywords. The Financial Analysis module ; analyzes the selected data and provides optimal recommendations to inspect, rehabilitate, replace, repair or do nothing at both project and network ; levels. Financial analyses are derived from a sequential process including defining networks, confirming input data sets, and optimizing for budget ; allocation preferences. At the project level this is achieved by comparing inspection and/or rehabilitation/replacement/repair costs via an updatable ; user cost, currently based on the 2011 NJDOT Engineer’s Estimate – Maintenance Drainage Repair Contract, with risks and costs associated with ; failure. At the network level, the associated costs are optimized to meet annual maintenance budget allocations by prioritizing assets needing ; inspection and rehabilitation/replacement/repair. When all input data have been appended into the module, DIAMS can generate financial ; summaries and work orders.
