The effort for maintenance of the flood protection infrastructure is often underestimated when planning and designing new assets. In Germany the consideration of the maintenance strategies, procedures and results is scattered. A systematic analysis of current maintenance practice in different federal states for various types of structures is required to comprehensively understand the process and assess the possible benefits for their design and planning in the future. This paper introduces a methodology for a systematic analysis of maintenance strategies based on a set of criteria grouped around strategic and operational perspective of maintenance. The methodology has been applied to analyse the selected flood protection assets, which are flood gates in the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg in Germany.The preliminary results on the possible improvement of maintenance processes aswell as conclusions for future management of the assets are outlined.The study has been conducted as part of the INTERREGVb project FAIR (‘Flood InfrastructureAsset Management and Investment in Renovation, Adaptation, Optimisation and Maintenance’, http://www.northsearegion.eu/fair/). © 2019 Taylor & Francis Group, London.
