The course is designed to provide asset custodians, engineers and, asset management practitioners experience in the management of bridge repairs.
The course focuses on typical maintenance management practices and applying an asset management lens on them, including implementation of strategies and application of prioritisation practices to maximise the value of the maintenance activities to the network. The course is framed around bridges and major culverts, however the practices are applicable to all transport structures.

Dr Tim Heldt – Director
Tim’s career spans a range of engineering disciplines, including rail, mining, construction, asset management, research, and development, applied research, and education. Highlights of his career include instrumentation of the Church Street bridge during works in the 90s, remote monitoring of a bridge in NZ and development of health monitoring guidelines for Transit NZ in the same era. Subsequently, he project managed the development of Australia’s first fibre composite bridge, and went on to be technical advisor via FCDD for Australia’s first fibre composite bridge on a road network - installed in NSW (Paper). More recently he led the Structures NACOE (National Asset Centre of Excellence) program during his tenure at ARRB. His work in fibre composites research has won multiple awards. He is the current chair of the Asset Management Steering Committee for the Institute of Public Works Engineers Queensland (IPWEAQ).
Tim’s most recent work has been as a technical specialist advisor to Queensland’s DTMR on the topic of structures asset management and on the evaluation of the bridge network’s halving joint features. His recent acquisition of Osborn has provided the opportunity to build a team commercially offering both boutique and routine services in bridge asset management spanning from design, through assessment and investigation, and life extension.
