Overview

Background & policy context:

Life Cycle or Life Cycle Cost (LCC) aspects are becoming more important. From an economic point of view, it is important to consider these aspects both in the design and in the operation of tunnel equipment. This best practice report is a natural follow-up to the former report on life cycle aspects of electrical road tunnel equipment

Objectives:

The objective of the project was to gain information about the life cycle aspects of the tunnel equipment.

Methodology:

An international survey was conducted in order to gain an insight to how tunnel owners behave today regarding life cycle analysis of technical equipment. 20 answers from 14 countries worldwide showed that the majority of tunnel owners perform periodic inspections, ca. 50% uses systematic methods for the analysis and almost 60% takes life cycle estimations into account.
