MACTEC Releases Vertex 3.0

Only Commercially Maintained Asset Management/Investment Analysis System Based on EMS Principles

MACTEC’s Facility Lifecycle Group (FLG) has released Vertex 3.0, the latest and most comprehensive version of the company’s flagship facility asset management and investment analysis software product. MACTEC Senior Vice President and Building & Facilities Business Practice Leader Richard Garrison made the announcement.

“Vertex 3.0 is the only commercially maintained asset management and investment analysis system based on EMS (Engineered Management System) principles and standards (established by the U.S. Air Force; also updated/documented by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, American Society for Testing and Materials, and U.S. Department of Defense),” said Garrison. “The EMS approach uses life-cycle degradation curves. These are based on empirical data correlating observed asset condition with age for different categories of facility components to more accurately predict remaining service life.”

Vertex 3.0 uses web-based technology; facility data can be updated and forecasted results shared with anyone, anywhere, anytime.

“With Vertex 3.0, organizations can easily associate building sub-systems to a facility and site and this can be configured to meet the specific facility hierarchy of an organization,” said Garrison.

Garrison added that based on the observed asset condition, Vertex 3.0 will calculate an objective EMS-based current Condition Index (CI) for each asset component. It then uses a built-in ‘Asset Design Life’ library to predict asset deterioration over time based on asset specifications, current condition and age.

“Vertex 3.0 is an ongoing management tool, not a one-time snapshot,” said Garrison. “In fact, as you complete maintenance, repair and placement activities, Vertex 3.0 is updated and calculates a new Condition Index and deterioration curve to be used in subsequent analyses.”

MACTEC (www.mactec.com), based in Alpharetta, GA, is an environmental, engineering, construction management, and infrastructure services firm with more than $500 million in annual revenue, and 3,000 employees in over 90 offices nationwide.
