The article discusses how to efficiently plan maintenance for infrastructure networks, considering limited resources and different stakeholder priorities. It emphasizes the importance of using probabilistic estimates for safety and serviceability, integrating traditional methods into a holistic maintenance framework. The need for cross-asset optimization and the use of social, environmental, and economic factors are highlighted. Specific response and degradation models are recommended for effective maintenance. A staged assessment strategy is suggested for successful network maintenance. The framework proposed can integrate existing methodologies to benefit various stakeholders.
