Abstract
Many scholars claimed that due to maintenance, high reconstruction and construction costs in Malaysia, LCC shows an important role in estimating the cost of rigid pavement. Because of the government's expenditure and high budget allocation on pavement rehabilitation and maintenance work in Malaysia, choosing the most cost-effective pavement maintenance, maximizing the budget allocation and rehabilitation alternatives is essential for transportation agencies. A useful technique LCC of economic analysis that measures the different solutions of cost-effectiveness to rehabilitation and maintenance within the same category of roads. To generate a broad and accurate LCC output, however, it is necessary to ensure that the value information inputs are ready and of sufficient quality to use in the estimation of the LCC. This article shows the findings of Malaysia's systematic literature review inputs for LCC cost information study of dynamic pavement rehabilitation and maintenance. The literature study results showed that the greater part of key players in the construction industry are aware of the need for LCC analysis in the rigid rehabilitation and maintenance of the pavement. In Malaysia the LCC current state system of rigid pavement rehabilitation and maintenance, however, is still in its not only infancy stage but also is not ready for the difficulties to be implemented in achieving quality cost data to generate a reliable and comprehensive analysis of life cycle cost. The present findings of the paper which provide information on cost data current state inputs in the construction industry from the LCC analysis of rigid pavement rehabilitation and maintenance.
Highlights
In recent years, Malaysia's transport system is experiencing rapid development that can support Malaysia's economic growth and national development [1]
Maintenance can affect the quality of the living environment as poor maintenance of existing infrastructure and facilities creates obstacles and hinders users[6].Life cycle costs define as an economic evaluation technique using a mathematical method to estimate the total cost of ownership of an asset over its expected lifetime and determining the cost-effectiveness option among various competing alternatives[7].The government of Malaysia should concentrate on preventive maintenance and a life-cycle costing implementation approach in road maintenance programs [8]
During the in-use phases of rigid pavement in Malaysia, this paper analyzed the condition of Life Cycle Cost (LCC) maintenance study
Summary
Malaysia's transport system is experiencing rapid development that can support Malaysia's economic growth and national development [1]. Maintenance can affect the quality of the living environment as poor maintenance of existing infrastructure and facilities creates obstacles and hinders users[6].Life cycle costs define as an economic evaluation technique using a mathematical method to estimate the total cost of ownership of an asset over its expected lifetime and determining the cost-effectiveness option among various competing alternatives[7].The government of Malaysia should concentrate on preventive maintenance and a life-cycle costing implementation approach in road maintenance programs [8] This shows that LCC has increasingly been recognized as an important tool for developing more cost-effective strategies for transport agencies to leverage the budget allocated to road and highway infrastructure maintenance in Malaysia. The results recorded for literature in this paper were part of an ongoing two-year postgraduate study carried out by the first author on the investigation of cost information used as inputs to generate a detailed and accurate LCC estimate of dynamic rigid pavement rehabilitation and maintenance approaches in the Malaysian construction industry
