• Abstract:
  Geotechnical assets – which include rock and soil slopes, retaining walls, and material sites – support and protect the Department's pavements and bridges, and provide the material from which these assets are built. They are the front line of the Department's site-based risk management strategies, as they bear the brunt of natural hazards such as extreme weather, floods, and earthquakes. In terms of reconstruction cost they are more than three times as valuable as the Department's bridge inventory, and are a continuing focus of maintenance and preservation expenditures. The Plan provides guidance for, and summarizes, the Department's management process for its geotechnical assets. This process ensures that the Department is continuously measuring its performance, and programming investments that are most cost-effective to improve performance. It is based on the principle that what gets measured gets done. This Technical Report provides a detailed analysis of relevant performance objectives and measures; the inventory and current conditions of geotechnical assets; methods to compute and minimize life cycle cost; methods to manage risk; and the Department's financial plan and investment strategies for its geotechnical assets. The report provides the technical background for a continuing process to improve the Department's geotechnical risk management capability.
