Highways Asset Management Annual Maintenance Report 2023/24

Summary

1.           The Highway Asset Management service is responsible for the ongoing maintenance of key assets such as the cities council owned carriageways, footways, drainage systems, street lighting as well as the city walls. Traffic Signals are managed by the Transport teams.

2.           Maintenance can be split into reactive maintenance and proactive maintenance, the proactive approach (capital) focuses on prolonging the life span of the council’s assets. Whereas reactive maintenance is designed to respond to an immediate defect and make safe for continued use.

3.           This report details recommended proactive and reactive interventions to be made by the Highway Asset Management service in the financial year 2023/24 and as such seeks approval for the annexed programmes.

Background

4.           The total budget for 2023/24 was approved by Members on 23rd  February 2023 at budget council, which reflects the proposals that were reported to Executive on 9th Feb 2023. Annex 1 provides detail of the budgets approved at Budget Council and shows the value of slippage from previous years which relates to schemes previously approved and identifies the real funding for 2023/24 which is available for new schemes.

5.           Since budget council DfT have announced an additional pothole funding allocation of £504,000. This will need to be considered and added to the 2023/24 capital programme as part of the capital outturn report to Executive in June.

 

6.           This report focuses on the following lines from that report will be invested over the following year.

·        Carriageway Schemes

·        Footway Schemes

·        Street Lighting

·        York City Walls and Ancient Monuments

·        Highway Drainage Investigation and Renewal

·        Reactive Maintenance (Roads and Footways)

·        Tadcaster Road (Major Projects)

 

 

Road and Footway proactive maintenance

7.          In order to produce the programs of carriageway works for each financial year, information is drawn from a number of sources:

·               Condition surveys are carried out independently with vehicle mounted Digital cameras. The provider of this service has changed to Vaisala (RoadAI) which brings with it other benefits including survey of signage and lining (which will in turn lead to a proactive lining programme). The 23/24 programme however is initiated from the data provided by the previous condition survey provider (Gaist) as the service transitions.

·               The current survey makes an assessment of defective carriageway and its relative condition grading (Grade 1 good to 5 bad). This data is then filtered from worst to best and using broad repair estimates the first cut of the carriageway programme is established.

·               This is then reviewed, and sense checked with the Highway Inspectors before being verified on site with Inspectors and Engineers as appropriate taking into account on-site data and more accurate costing of individual schemes

·               The above outline process is in accordance with National Guidelines from DfT

·               Highways Inspectors undertake an annual visual proactive condition survey of all our roads and footways, this in addition to their monthly inspections for reactive maintenance. Skid resistance is captured annually using UKPMS (United Kingdom Pavement Management System) which is visual and machine surveys (SCANNER).

·               SCRIM – Skid Coefficient Surveying, analysis, and data for forward work’s needs.

·               National Street Gazetteer- Monthly submission, data reviews, creation and adjustment of new and existing streets data.

·               The conditional survey data is available for public viewing at: https://cyc.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=6e02c41a806e46879e7dc215f1275afb

8.           Notwithstanding previous levels of investment the current funding levels are not sufficient to keep all our assets in a perfect condition. The estimated backlog of work required to bring all of the carriageway assets to a perfect condition is £190M. Therefore, ensuring we get best value out of the available funding is critically important requiring the service to determine at what point intervention is made.

9.           Whilst we recognise that all carriageway and footway assets are important, and we have a statutory duty to ensure that the highway is safe, we also endeavour to make sure our network is resilient and can support economic growth and local communities in York. However, it is recognised that the budget is limited, and as such during a time of diminishing resources and increasing customer expectations, all available funding requires effective prioritisation. The methodology used to prioritise investment obviously varies between the various asset types but in all cases, the approach to deciding where to spend our money is risk based.

10.        Having assessed the investment needs for each asset group, we consider this in the wider context of the whole highways service as we endeavour to undertake the right repairs at the right time in the lifecycle of all our assets.

11.        In October 2021, in line with best practice, the Executive approved the adoption of a Highways Management Framework, which included the implementation of a Highway Infrastructure Asset Management Plan (HIAMP) and the Highway Safety Inspection Manual (HSIM) in order to optimise the allocation of resources for the management, operation, preservation and enhancement of the highway infrastructure to meet the needs of current and future users of the transport network.

12.        A regular review of the HIAMP is required to ensure it and its supporting documents are fit for purpose and to expand and develop the documents initially produced in October 2021. A review is currently underway which will include individual asset plans as follows

13.        The above schematic highlights likely documents within the HIAMP which will all require Executive approval. These documents will enable a greater level of transparency around current asset condition and decision making in regard to proactive funding.

 

Carriageway Proactive Treatments

14.        To achieve best value, we undertake a range of interventions which include but not limited to the following: Reconstruction, Resurfacing, Micro Surfacing, Surface Dressing, Footway Reconstruction including modular and asphalt, Footways resurfacing and Slurry Sealing.

15.        Surface dressing and thin surfacing such as micro asphalts. These all involve laying a thin layer over the top of the existing road to seal the surface and restore grip, extending the life of the road. They will also rectify surface defects like cracks and potholes, either as part of the treatment process or through pre-patching works done to the more significant defects in advance of the surface treatment.

16.        Resurfacing usually involves removing and replacing the existing road surface (although it is sometimes possible to lay the new surface on top of the old). Resurfacing differs from a surface treatment by using a thicker layer of material; usually at least 30mm thick and sometimes 100mm or more if several layers of the road are replaced. Resurfacing restores the road surface to a new condition, removing surface problems and most unevenness.

17.        Reconstruction involves digging down to repair or replace some or all of the foundation layers of the road and then putting a new surface back on top. Limited areas of reconstruction are sometimes used to solve localised problems as part of a resurfacing scheme

18.        The majority of our footway surfaces are made of asphalt. The rest of the footway network is surfaced with a range of different materials including paving slabs of various sizes and different styles of block paving. These can be grouped under the general term of ‘modular paving’. These modules could be slabs or blocks and might be made of concrete or natural stone. There are a few other materials as well – for instance there are a few footways made of in-situ concrete – but the vast majority of the footway network has either an asphalt surface or a modular surface.

19.        Footway surface treatments include slurry seals and micro asphalts. Both involve laying a thin layer over the top of the existing footway to seal the surface and extend its life. They will also rectify surface defects like cracks and potholes, either as part of the treatment process or through pre-patching works done to the more significant defects in advance of the surface treatment. Micro asphalt is a thicker two-coat process and can regulate out some dips in the footway.

20.        Resurfacing involves removing the existing footway surface, whether it is asphalt or modular, and replacing it with a new surface. On an asphalt footway, resurfacing usually involves replacing all the asphalt – usually 75mm to 100mm thick.

21.        In modular footways, it involves removing the modular paving and either relaying it and replacing broken units or replacing it with a suitable thickness of asphalt.

22.        Reconstruction involves digging down to repair or replace the foundation layers of the footway and then putting a new surface back on top. Limited areas of reconstruction are sometimes used to solve localised problems as part of a resurfacing scheme.

23.        Further assessments will be undertaken this year to identify the impacts that have arisen from the long spells of flooding and sub-zero temperatures during the winter 2022-23. This could lead to certain sections of the network accelerating up the ranked scheme list, sections may require intermediate or basic maintenance prior to any long term program intervention. For this work we have a budget allocation of £1.6M which is for all footways and carriageway reactive repairs, see Annex 7.  

24.        A programme of work for 2023/24 is proposed in the following annexes:

22/23 Q3 Carried Forward schemes

 

25.        A review of the delivery performance for the financial year 22/23 can be viewed at Annex 9.

26.        Annex 10 details the £1.174M carried forward from 22/23 which will continue in 23/24 in addition to the works in identified in the prior Annexes

 

Integrated Transport Contribution

27.        £1.2M is allocated from the Maintenance budget of £7,755k to  the Integrated Transport programme. This is managed by the Head of Programmes and ITS and forms part of the Transport Capital programme. This contributes to a number of areas (including road safety, traffic signals) where interventions are prioritised based on risk and where assets are expired or no longer in line with industry standards or government guidance

The integrated transport contribution will be itemised and reported through the Transport Capital Programme.

 

 

Flood Alleviation Schemes including Germany Beck

28.        The Germany Beck Flood Alleviation Scheme is currently in development to reduce the impact of flooding to properties in the Fordland’s Road community in Fulford. The scheme will also remove the risk of flooding to Fordland Road maintaining a vital access route into the area and to further enhance the flood risk management improvements to the A19. Planning approval appraisal and design work has been completed and a planning application was submitted in January 2023, the holistic scheme will incorporate a culvert pumping station to isolate high river Ouse flood flows and through pump Germany Beck flood flows maintaining low levels in the watercourses during periods of flooding. Following planning permission and all approvals detailed design work will be completed and the construction phase is likely to commence in late 2023/24 for completion in 2024/25.

29.        £2m of CYC capital funding has been targeted towards the scheme to support £0.5m of funding previously targeted to provide flood protection measures for Fordland’s Road.

30.        £1.5m CYC capital funding has been made available to work with the Environment Agency Flood Alleviation Programme and support the delivery of wider outcomes in the city. A formal paper will be developed to endorse the targeting of funding but this is recommended to be split between the Germany Beck Flood Alleviation Scheme (£1m) and improvements to the defences at Peckitt Street/Tower Gardens (£0.5m). The funding package to deliver the whole life funding costs for the project (£4.871m) will be completed from external funding from the Environment Agency.

Ward Investment Programme

31.        £250k per annum is diverted from the Highway (specifically Carriageway renewals) budget into local Ward Member led initiatives. It provides a way for involving members in the prioritisation of local works, and addressing residents concerns. It has offered funding opportunities for 220+ projects that would not have otherwise been possible given budget constraints. The current programme of works is due to end in May with a review of the programme currently being undertaken.

Street Lighting

32.        There are approximately 23,000 streetlights of various heights and construction of which 21,150 are steel (a few of these may be other construction aluminium/cast/wall brackets but minimal) and @ 1066 concrete columns. A substantial percentage of the steel columns are age expired, and all remaining concrete columns are expired.

33.        The Council have invested capital funding in the street lighting service to carry out a risk-based street lighting column replacement programme. The service has replaced @ 4650 concrete columns over the last six years. The replacement new steel columns have a 30-year life expectancy, and they are all fitted with an energy efficient LED lanterns when replaced. There remains @ 1066 concrete columns to replace on the programme, and with the current level of funding this will take approximately a further 3 years to remove all concrete columns from the inventory.

34.        See Annex 4 for this year’s concrete column replacement locations

35.        Additional to the concrete column replacement is the management of steel column failure, Street lighting columns all have manufacturer’s recommended serviceable life in years. There remains a number of City of York council’s steel street lighting assets which are past this service date and therefore they are being managed on an annual program of structural testing. Over the last five years the service has replaced 1,240 steel columns due to structural failure identified at test stage.

36.        The steel Column structural failure replacements are being replaced on an individual basis. This programme is a reactive programme based on the annual testing reports. This replacement programme is different to the concrete column replacement programme where all the assets in the streets are changed.

37.        For 23/24 it is anticipated that 7,000 steel columns will be tested from a steel structural integrity perspective. On average and based on previous exercises it is anticipated that up to 3% of those tested will show failure. Based on this it is anticipated that a future programme beyond 23/24 will be required of approximately £210,000  

 

38.        There are a small number of the steel columns which have been historically repaired, these repairs render the columns unsuitable for structural testing at the points of the column which are prone to deteriorate. These assets are inspected visually.

39.        In addition to the street lighting structures are non-illuminated steel signposts, these have manufacturer’s recommended serviceable life in years at date of manufacture. The team are capturing the number of assets in the public highway and assessing their condition on an annual program of structural testing alongside street lighting columns. Replacements (if failed) from this testing have been happening as highlighted.

 

Drainage Improvements

40.        The highway drainage asset is critical to ensuring the controlled removal of water from the carriageway to allow customers to use it safely. The impact that failure of the drainage assets can have on our highway, including wider transport infrastructure and private property is significant.

41.        The Highways Act 1980 empowers highway authorities to construct and maintain drainage systems to remove surface water from the highway. More recently, the Flood and Water Management Act 2010 gives local authorities a role for the management of local flood risk.

42.        The biggest challenge in managing our highway drainage and local flood risk is in some cases the location and condition of highway drainage assets are far from understood which presents real challenges in making the case for significant investment. Highway drainage assets across York have therefore had targeted investment where problems are known to exist. This makes proactive drainage projects much more difficult and therefore the approach to maintaining highway drainage assets has in the past been largely reactive. This is costly and does not address the issue of needing to understand where to invest to halt the deterioration.

43.        The Highways drainage teams have commenced building our understanding of the drainage asset by undertaking a series of targeted inventory surveys in areas at risk of local flooding. We are working to co-ordinate maintenance activities across our teams and drainage assets whilst collecting on-the-go inventory and condition data for use in the future. This will improve the performance of this critical asset in the short term and begin to set the building blocks in place for future programmes of prioritised maintenance.

44.        The Council is investing capital funding in the structural and hydraulic repairs and maintenance of our highway drainage system. Our teams are proactively prioritising the known drainage and highway flooding issues across the City, targeting the cause of the drainage issues rather than just the symptoms. The estimated backlog for these works is £10M. This proactive investment will have a positive impact on the highway infrastructure, especially carriageways which often suffers from accelerated deterioration as a result of failing drainage systems.

45.        In 22/23 thirty individual improvement schemes have been completed which have alleviated localised flooding issues as part of the specific Proactive Investigations & Repair Programme. This programme will continue into 23/24

46.        We are improving our knowledge of drainage infrastructure across the City to develop proactive capital schemes. These schemes will demonstrate evidence-based decisions on drainage improvements, enabling us to bid for capital funding under the Department For Transport (DfT) Challenge Fund, and meet the requirements for the DfT Incentive Fund.

47.        The schemes identified for this year’s programme have been highlighted in Annex 6

 

Tadcaster Road Investment

48.        In June 2020 the Council was successful in receiving 5M funding allocation via the DfT’s Local Highways Maintenance Challenge Fund. The total allocation will equate to £6m including the Council’s direct contributions on this section of the highway. The funding will allow the Council to carry much needed wholesale maintenance investment works on one of its core strategic routes. The scheme the Council plan to implement will include for carriageway and footway upgrade drainage repairs, replacement, and improvements.

49.        A further grant award of £1.42m from the Transforming Cities Fund was also made to enable transport improvements for cycling, walking and bus improvements.  This was added into the overall budget and following an invitation to tender, Jackson Civil Engineering were awarded a contract to carry out the works in the sum of £5.22m.  This contract commenced on site in January 2023 and is anticipated to be complete later in the year in October

50.        The progress report for Tadcaster Road can be viewed in Annex 8

 

City Walls Investment 

51.        York City Walls and associated ancient monuments are an import symbol of the city. The City Walls attract in excess of 1 million users annually and are enjoyed by residents and visitors without charge. Sympathetically caring for and protecting the integrity of this group of heritage assets for both users and the image of the city is essential.

52.        The Service appointed a new Bar Walls Manager in April 2022. This appointment has allowed for the continuation of the required regular condition surveys and inspections started in 2019 when the post was created. This work continues to identify priority locations for future work programmes and helps to ensure the safe sustainable future of the group of designated heritage assets. 

53.        A works programme has been prepared for the financial year 2023/24 based on previous surveys and inspections and can be viewed in Annex 5.

54.        The medium- and long-term programme of works is ever evolving in line with the needs of the group of monuments. To aid the development of the programme a suite of conservation management and design documents are required, in line with best practice. In 2021 a Conservation Management plan for all masonry sections of the City Walls was published, and a City Walls Design Guide is now in the early stages of preparation.

55.        In addition to the allocated funds for the programmes of works, the Bar Walls Manager and other CYC Officers are exploring how partnership working across the city (and further afield) could help to maximise the value of the group of heritage assets for the good of residents and visitors.

Highways Structures

 

56.        The vacant Highways Structures Manager was filled in August 2022. Since then:

·        18 No. Structural Reviews have been completed to re-establish all information on CYC’s structural asset management system and within CYC’s hard archives with respect to assessed bridge capacities.

·        48 general inspections on structural assets have been completed as well as ad hoc consultations and proposals have been undertaken

·        Principal inspections have been undertaken on Piccadilly Bridge.   Planned principal inspections of 3 No. railway structures (Bondhill Ash Bridge, Crichton Avenue Bridge and Strensall Footbridge) were postponed due to lengthy delays with Network Rail. A Network rail BAPA is now in place and works are to be carried out in 2023/24. CYC currently organise the Principal Inspections for approximately 25 No. structures at a nominal 6-year intervals.

·        20 Bridge Headroom surveys have been undertaken

·        Tender documents for the replacement of the Millfield Railway Bridge east guided bearing and east joint. The tender was sent out and quotations have been returned. The site work is programmed for FY 2023/24

·        Rawcliffe Ings Bridge joint replacement and kerb drain refurbishment – Team produced tender documents for 2 No. joint replacements. Tender was sent out and quotations have been returned. The site work is programmed for FY 2023/24 with the 2022/23 funds carried over.

·        Bridge minor maintenance works – High, medium and low priority work has been identified through the CYC’s general inspection regime. Team developed scopes of works for vegetation clearances at 25 No. structures. Site works were carried out in February 2023. Team has developed scopes of works for footpath repairs and timber repairs at approximately 25 No. structures.

·        Pyramid Gallery cellar, Stonegate – Team provided structural advice on a permanent solution to support the footpath paving slabs from the cellar below.

 

·        Team assessed and provided advice on abnormal load movements

·        NPG Culvert – Team inspected the structure and offered advice on proposed abnormal load movements.

·        AMX database (Structures asset management system) - inputted all relevant CYC electronic files onto AMX, team inputted approximately 10% of CYC’s relevant hard archives onto AMX, team inputted new structures and structure details onto AMX and ran stock reports.

·        Bishopthorpe Bridge – Team communicated with Sustrans regarding Bishopthorpe Bridge with respect to the proposed weight restriction signage scheme.

·        Springfield Close culvert reconstruction to be completed by end of March 2023.

·        Advice and reviews, acceptance of Developer’s proposals have been undertaken

·        A long-term forward plan and budget forecasting has been undertaken

 

57.        With regard to 2023/24 work:

·        Structural reviews – continue producing structural reviews with the aim of completing a structural review for every applicable CYC structure.

·        Bridge assessments – Structures to be risk ranked using the conclusions from the structural reviews. Assessment packages are to be set-up and minimum of 20 No. bridge assessments are to be undertaken.

·        Inspection for assessments – Proposed inspection for assessments for a minimum of 10 No. structures. The inspection for assessments will likely involve intrusive site works.

·        Principal Inspections of 3 No. railway structures (Bondhill Ash Road Bridge, Crichton Bridge and Strensall Footbridge) carried over from 2022/23.

·        General inspections – carry out general inspections as scheduled by AMX.

·        Emergency works – attend sites and produce any required reports or designs.

·        Site supervision and technical support for Rawcliffe Ings and Millfield Railway bridge refurbishment works.

·        Millennium Bridge movement monitoring to be undertaken as per recommendations from the principal inspection report.

·        Skeldergate Bridge – produce tender documents for bridge painting and general maintenance works at Skeldergate Bridge.

·        Bridge maintenance works – continue producing tender documents for works identified through the CYC’s general inspection regime. Work to also include routine cleaning of drains at Scarborough Footbridge and timber repairs at Dauby Footbridge.

·        AMX database – continue inputting bridge information into AMX and to use the database for work planning.

·        Site work for Strensall New signage scheme to be completed.

·        Anti-graffiti scopes of work to be sent out to tender and site works to be completed.

·        Review of AIPs – review designs and comment on AIPs as required for any ongoing schemes, namely, Castle Gateway, York Outer Ring Road, York Central and York Station Gateway.

Corporate Priorities

60.        Through the proposed measures the Directorate of Economy & Place supports delivery of the Council Plan around most notably the outcomes around world class infrastructure, getting around sustainably and the essence of this report is about being an open and effective council.

Implications

Financial Implications

61.        This report provides further breakdown of the budgets approved by Budget Council. The capital funding is shown in Annex 1.  The Highway Asset Management service will be provided in accordance with the prescribed budgets.

Human Resources (HR) and other implications

62.        There are no HR implications due to the decreased capital budgets. 

Equalities

63.        This report has taken into consideration the impact of the Council’s Equality Strategy when recommending the proposed budget allocation and highway maintenance operations. Equalities Impact Assessment (EIA) is addressed in the global budget saving assessment.

Legal

64.        The Council has a statutory duty to carry out highway maintenance under Section 41 of the Highways Act 1980 and this report sets out the proposals and budgets to allow this to happen in the forthcoming financial year.

Crime and Disorder

65.        There are no crime and disorder issues. 

Information Technology (IT)

66.        There are no IT implications in this report.

Property

67.        There are no property implications.

Other

68.        There are no other implications in this report.

Risk Management

69.        In compliance with the Council’s risk management strategy, the main risks that have been identified in this report are:

·        Strategic Risks, arising from judgements in relation to medium term goals for the service

·        Physical Risks, arising from potential underinvestment in assets

·        Financial Risks, from pressures on budgets

·        People Risks, affecting staff if budgets decline

70.        Measured in terms of impact and likelihood the risk score for all of the above has been assessed at less than 16.  This means that at this point the risks need only to be monitored, as they do not provide a real threat to the achievement of the objectives of this report.

Recommendations

71.        Director of Place is recommended to:

(i)   Approve the allocation of budgets for 2023/24

(ii)   Approve the implementation of the proposed programmes

        Reason: To ensure delivery of all highway maintenance services in an efficient and cost-effective manner.

TADCASTER ROAD HIGHWAY IMPROVEMENT PROGRESS REPORT

2023/24

£k

After appointing Aecom as the Councils Principal Designer (in accordance with the CDM Regulations) the design of the scheme is substantially complete.

In parallel with this scheme other improvement projects, separate and separately funded, to the original Tadcaster Road scheme are also underway.

The intent is to bring all of these works together and tender as one to realise procurement efficiencies.

Performance against Programme

There have been some delays primarily due to resource issues and the necessity to work remotely due to Covid. Also the impact of bringing the ‘core’ scheme and the improvements scheme together have had a timeline impact.

However, some of this unproductive time can be reclaimed through the procurement timeline in terms of utilising existing Civil Engineering Frameworks available to Council.

In early 2022, the maintenance element of the scheme was subsequently amalgamated with a £1.42m grant funded Transforming Cities Fund allocation for transport improvements along the corridor.  A tender was subsequently awarded to Jackson Civil Engineering in autumn 2022 and works commenced on site in January 2023 with a proposed completion date of October 2023.
