International Infrastructure Management Manual 2011 Edition
We have developed a new Manual to ensure that:
· The manual continues to lead the international asset management industry
· Case studies represent best-practice (albeit at different levels of development – core/advanced) across a wide range of sectors and countries
· The manual is user-friendly for the whole range of users, from beginners to advanced practitioners
· The manual will fit well with the proposed ISO asset management standard

The Quick Guide leads you to the right section of the full Manual if you want to read further
