Sustainable development through risk management
A member of the EDF group since 2002, OXAND capitalizes on a unique experience on the evolution and management of new and ageing infrastructures, and supports you on the way to a new approach : risk management.
Civil engineering structures are ageing and their conditions of use are often changed after their design. Managing these assets involves a new decision support process, induced from global performance goals.
Beyond any traditional approach, risk management means simultaneously increasing security and rationalizing operating costs. Achieving this goal implies not only the analysis of defect probabilities but also the analysis of its impact on the global environment.
As a simple example, a piece of concrete falling into a river doesn’t have the same consequences as it would if falling on an express way at rush hour.
From a single infrastructure asset to a whole system worth several billion euros, we provide sound decision making tools, creating multiple benefits for CEOs and both financial and technical executives.
Oxand’s methodology enables owners and contracting authorities to be aware and anticipate how the quality of their infrastructure can evolve, and hence better plan maintenance operations.
