Asset Management
The term asset management stands for the systematic and coordinated planning, administration and maintenance of an organisation's assets (values). In particular, it is about ensuring the desired performance and availability of assets while minimising costs and expenses and managing risks.
HELLER has been leading the way in road maintenance management for over 25 years, always keeping an eye on the latest trends and innovations. The company develops practical solutions for the application of asset management in the road sector.

Skills in Asset Management
HELLER paves new ways for civil engineers. With skills in Asset Management, the engineers strengthen their position and have promising career opportunities. Asset Management provides convincing arguments and proven tools. In particular, the resources required for operation, construction and maintenance, or the effects of a lack of investment and employees, can be presented in such a way that politicians can address them specifically.
Training and further education
The Infrastructure Asset Management Academy (INFRAMA), initiated by Dr. Slawomir Heller, is specially tailored to road administrations and offers customized courses for both beginners and advanced users. With INFRAMA's training courses, administrations benefit from trained employees. The training program prepares managers and employees for everyday professional life. Practical engineering and management skills are imparted.
International Standards
The ISO 55000 standard introduced by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in 2014 provides users with a well-established set of rules.
The standard is divided into three documents:
- ISO 55000:
Overview, principles and terms - ISO 55001:
Requirements for Asset Management Systems - ISO 55002:
Guidelines for the implementation of Asset Management Systems
Certification
In cooperation with TÜV Hessen, HELLER offers road authorities customized concepts and solutions and helps them to achieve the certification successfully. This facilitates the process of the introduction and enables the continuous improvement of Asset Management. In addition, the awareness of employees, who thus actively participate in the further development and improvement of the individual elements, is strengthened and the external perception of the organization is increased. In 2017 and 2018, HELLER supported the road authorities of the district of Viersen and the city of Münster in setting up the Asset Management System. Both systems have been successfully certified according to ISO 55001.

The certification is worthwhile
Although the ISO 55000 certification is not necessarily required for establishing an Asset Management System, it provides a good basis for the introduction of the system in the organization. The advantage is that the scope of the Asset Management System can be freely defined and adapted to the current needs of the organization.
The certification facilitates the process of implementation and enables continuous improvement of Asset Management. In addition, the awareness of employees, who are actively involved in the further development and improvement of the individual elements, is strengthened and the external perception of the organization is increased.
In cooperation with TÜV Hessen, HELLER offers road administrations customized concepts and solutions from a single source.
