Asset Technologies Pacific was commissioned by CQU's Division of Facilities Management to prepare a 10-year Strategic Asset Management Plan (SAMP) incorporating separate Capital Investment & Life Cycle Costings, Asset Maintenance and Operational Integration Plans for each of its campuses located at Rockhampton, Mackay, Gladstone and Bundaberg.

The project involved 250 buildings across all campuses and included laboratories, administration offices, theatres, education, research and sporting facilities. All areas of asset management were covered including facilities, energy, environmental, heritage, development and maintenance management as well as operational services such as cleaning and security.

CQU’s Director of Facilities Management Philip Hancock said: “The Strategic Asset Management plan is the key to the long term planning process. It compliments the goals of the Division, the long term strategic goals of the University and provides a focus on individual strategies, compliance, life cycle costing and benchmarking”.

Prior to preparing the SAMP Plan, Asset Technologies Pacific undertook a professional engineering assessment of all building structures, services and systems and reported on their structural integrity and operational condition and identified all major defects and serious deterioration.

A full essential services assessment was also carried out that identified the compliance status of each services in accordance with current legislation and regulatory requirements.
