• Initial assessments use data from routine
  maintenance functions.
• Tier I Assessments (track using FEM)
• If Tier I Assessments indicate problems, more
  detailed tests are prescribed.

HydroAMP

• A key tool for hydropower asset management
  planning
• Asset condition and business plan for the plant
  guides repair and replacement investment
  decisions.
• Knowing the condition helps set the life cycle
  cost stream.
• Condition monitoring enables validation or
  updates to the asset replacement cycle cost
  stream.
• Used in conjunction with Automated Maintenance
  Management Systems trade off historic repair
  costs versus a replacement strategy for most
  effective use of funds.
