NLEX Asset Management System

SMEC was engaged by the Manila North Tollways Corporation (MNTC) to develop an Asset Management System for the North Luzon Expressway (NLEX) in the Philippines. The objective of the project was to improve MNTC’s management of resources on expansion projects. The NLEX is an 84 km toll road connecting Manila to the Central Luzon Region, via the Bulacan and Pampanga provinces. The expressway has undergone numerous network upgrades since its construction in 2005, and is expected to continue expanding over the next 25 years. As a result, MNTC required an Asset Management System covering all pavement, road furniture, bridges, tolls and equipment in the road network. SMEC’s services were divided into three components: customisation of the SMEC Asset Management System to meet MNTC requirements; system implementation to assist MNTC to better manage its assets on the NLEX; and training of MNTC employees in system use.
