A system approach for replacement strategy of hydraulic structures
conference paper
Many of the Dutch movable hydraulic structures are exceeding lifetime expectancy based on the then-current standards and regulations. Also signs of ageing become apparent, regulations (e.g. about structural safety) get more and more strict and functional requirements have often increased over time due to climate change and socio-economic developments. Therefore Rijkswaterstaat wants to ensure that these hydraulic structures (and it’s system of operation) always complies to an adequate performance level. This by setting up an systematic approach replacing hydraulic structures based on their cost-effectiveness and future uncertainties. To provide useful information regarding this method a probabilistic performance framework has been set up. This framework links the performance of the object (IJmuiden Pumping Station) with the performance of the system (Noordzeekanaal & Amsterdam-Rijnkanaal) and defines, analyses and considers different measures for the object and so-called ‘adaptation’ pathways, providing insight in the most cost effective solutions considering future uncertainties.
