Component Treatments & Next Treatment
Intervention Treatments in the Metrix Asset Management System provide the ability for users to store and manage unit rates and default useful lives for a variety of component interventions. When assigned to a component group, treatment definitions are able to be used to define the current and/or next intervention method for given components.
Component Treatment
The current component treatment informs a component ‘Unit Rate’ (for current cost calculations),
the ‘Default Useful Life’, as well as an indicator to the material and/or methodology used in
it’s original construction. The later of these depends on the naming conventions used in
defining
intervention treatments.
Next Treatment
A component’s next treatment definition allows for users to record their ‘best guess’ how a component’s upcoming intervention treatment will be conducted. Such definitions can be based on:
- Estimated Cost: for works that may be based around an externally quoted price.
- Treatment with Override Unit of Measure: for works that will be conducted in accordance with a chosen treatment definition - but for a specific quantity of cost units.
- Treatment with Percentage of Component: for works that will be conducted in accordance with a chosen treatment definition - but for a percentage share of the component’s current cost units.
