“…This paper is not a systematic review as others encountered in the current literature and used in the following (Bradley et al, 2016;L. Chen & Bai, 2019;Daulat et al, 2022;Hawari et al, 2020;Langeveld et al, 2022;Matejko, 1983;McDonald, 2019;Mohammadi et al, 2019;Mohammadi et al, 2020;Nkwunonwo et al, 2023;Sadeghikhah et al, 2022). It highlights research proposals based on the authors' experience faced with an analysis of the perspectives set out in recent articles (2018)(2019)(2020)(2021)(2022), and supported by a state of the art largely based on the literature in the field.…”

The long-term maintenance of infrastructure requires asset management. This latter is defined as a series of actions aimed at the long-term maintenance of the capacity of an infrastructure to provide an efficient service for users, at costs and with impacts that are tolerable for society and the environment. The actions implemented concern notably the inventory of infrastructures, their monitoring, inspection and maintenance, the analysis of their state and performance, their reinforcement, renovation, and the definition of long-term technical-financial policies. This paper is structured around four themes based on the authors' experience faced with an analysis of the perspectives set out in recent articles. For each theme, a state of the art largely based on the literature in the field, as well as emerging and nevertheless pressing needs in terms of knowledge production and tools to support reflection and decision-making are presented: temporal and spatial dimensions of Water Infrastructure Asset Management and their consistency; multi-infrastructure management seen from the perspective of physical interdependences and decision-aids; governance, organisations and territories; digital representation of the socio-technical infrastructural system. The analysis is carried out following several disciplines from the engineering and, the human and social sciences.Infrastructure linked to water are studied.

“…Notably, electricity plays a crucial part in the range of utilities and has a significant impact on the orderly and successful development of society. The distribution system is a key node in the flow of electrical energy, charged with the primary responsibility of providing the energy required to satisfy consumer needs (Nkwunonwo et al, 2023). This study develops within this paradigm, highlighting the numerous intricacies present in electrical distribution power systems through the use of geospatial technologies.…”

Over the years, electricity has developed into a crucial commodity for any nation. The need to evaluate the rate of electricity consumption in regard to utility management and the spatial distribution of major devices to facilitate appropriate planning within the estate is the motivation for this research. This study used geospatial technology to evaluate the electricity distribution to support planning and management in Omole Estate (Phase One) and environs within the city of Lagos, Nigeria. The focus was on determining the land use in study area, geolocations of the transformers, along with the cost of energy consumed per household. Spatial data for the research area was collected through a Hand-held GPS. Google Earth images were downloaded to supplement the data, and a comprehensive analysis of administered and recovered questionnaires was conducted to enrich the dataset. ArcGIS 10.6.1 software was employed to create the database and depict the area, whilst modifying all of the details required within. The result confirms that 72% of the respondents use electricity for domestic use, 18% for commercial use while 10% utilise it for domestic and commercial use. A significant portion of homes (33%) still use outdated postpaid meters and 35% of respondents do not know how much power they use at home each month or the cost per unit of that electricity. Regarding the respondents, 67% have a prepaid card/electrical meter installed (per kilowatt). Concerning cost, 10% of the respondents spends between N1000-N5000 for their monthly electricity consumption, 27% of the respondents between N5,000 and N10,000, 38% between N10,000 and N17,000, 24% between N17,000 and N25,000 and 2% above N25,000 per month on electricity. These findings will assist effective power distribution within the estate and provide guidance on charge rates for commercial power users which is approximately 28% overall.
