Implementation of a Maintenance Plan for Stormwater Management Infrastructures using the Systemic Method

Stormwater management is essential to prevent flooding, protect ecosystems and guarantee the safety of urban infrastructures. With extreme climatic events on the increase and increasing urbanization, it is crucial to adopt effective measures. The implementation of a systemic maintenance plan is necessary to ensure the sustainability of these infrastructures and improve their long-term efficiency.

This study aims to establish a rigorous maintenance strategy for stormwater management infrastructures. This includes preventing failures, maintaining system functionality and anticipating future maintenance needs. It is also essential to comply with environmental standards and to raise awareness among stakeholders, such as local communities and managers, of the importance of sustainable management.

The methodology adopted is based on a systemic approach, integrating an in-depth diagnosis of existing infrastructures and an assessment of the risks associated with their operation. Based on this analysis, a preventive maintenance schedule will be drawn up, including regular inspections and planned corrective actions. Performance indicators will be put in place to monitor the condition of the infrastructure and adjust maintenance actions in line with observations.

Implementing a systemic maintenance plan is crucial to ensuring the longevity of stormwater management infrastructures. By adopting this approach, communities can better anticipate problems, reduce long-term costs and protect the environment in the face of growing climate challenges and increasing urbanization. A strong commitment to this initiative will promote sustainable and resilient urban development, ensuring the safety of populations and the preservation of ecosystems for future generations.
