CONDITION DATA & REPORTING
Our approach to working with our clients is based on:
• Gaining alignment with key corporate strategic goals and objectives for infrastructure management and service delivery.
• Building on existing condition assessment practices and initiatives.
• Introducing best and leading condition assessment practices.
• Constructively engaging City Staff in the development of project deliverables and recommendations.
• Transferring knowledge to City Staff so they can continue leading the development of the maintenance program where the consultant has left off.

12. Project Approach – Canadian Infrastructure Report Card Scale
Grade
Rating
Description
A (1)
Very Good
The infrastructure in the system or network is generally in very good condition, typically new or recently rehabilitated. A few elements show general signs of deterioration that require attention.
B (2)
Good
The infrastructure in the system or network is in good condition; some elements show general signs of deterioration that require attention. A few elements exhibit significant deficiencies.
C (3)
Fair
The infrastructure in the system or network is in fair condition; it shows general signs of deterioration and requires attention. Some elements exhibit significant deficiencies.
D (4)
Poor
The infrastructure in the system or network is in poor condition and mostly below standard, with many elements approaching the end of their service life. A large portion of the system exhibits significant deterioration.
F (5)
Very Poor
The infrastructure in the system or network is in unacceptable condition with widespread signs of advanced deterioration. Many components in the system exhibit signs of imminent failure, which is affecting service

Current Practice
Indicator
Condition Rating
Mapping suggested by City
Gas sample readings are collected for the gas collection system.
Following color codes are used to assess the condition for valves:
Blue: Signifies broken valve on the sample stream
Yellow: Signifies valves were buried
Red: Needs immediate attention as its open to foreign particles
Aged Based Condition using remaining life
Very Good
1(A)
More than 25 years remaining
Good
2(B)
20-25 years remaining
Fair
3(C)
15–20 years remaining
Poor
4(D)
7-15 years remaining
Very Poor
5(F)
Less than 7 years remaining
