TARGETED INTERVENTION
Do we replace the whole line?
Learn moreThe situation
A line with known problems. The default scope is to replace the whole line, because nobody can say which part is the problem.
What we knew
[Full line replacement scoped on the basis of reported faults and age.]
What Rubric found
[Deterioration was concentrated in a short section. The remaining spans were in serviceable condition.]
What was decided
[The affected section was replaced. The rest of the line stayed in service with a monitoring interval set.]
Why it matters
The difference between a whole line and a section is the difference between one project and three. Span level condition turns a blunt scope into a precise one, with the evidence to show why.
What this means for your network
Every whole line replacement in your plan is a candidate for this question.
