Assets and Work Management

This part of the model covers the relationship between assets and the work performed on them, including projects that drive network expansion. The focus is providing a structure for linking operational projects to capacity upgrades.

Core entities

  • Asset: represents the physical instance of equipment in the field.

  • WorkTask: a defined task carried out as part of a work activity.

  • Work: a collection of tasks, representing a cohesive body of work.

  • Project: groups together multiple work activities, typically for strategic objectives such as network reinforcement or expansion.

Modelling choices

  • The model distinguishes between function (e.g. PowerTransformer) and asset (e.g. Asset) to separate equipment functionality from their physical representation.

  • Each Asset is linked to a PowerTransformer, enabling the association of physical equipment with the functional topology.

  • WorkTask aggregates into Work, which in turn is organised under a Project.

  • This structure allows projects to be explicitly linked to assets, ensuring visibility of work undertaken to expand available transport capacity.
