Asset Management

Buildings and Structures Program

The Bureau of Reclamation manages an extensive portfolio of buildings, building like structures, fish facilities, water treatment facilities, and water wells. Many of these assets are operated and maintained in collaboration with transferred works partners. The diverse building portfolio includes a wide range of building types such as power plants, pumping plants, administrative offices, warehouses, service buildings, visitor centers, dam tender houses, employee housing, and fish hatcheries. Reclamation’s fish facility portfolio includes structures that support fish passage and protection, including ladders, elevators, bypass systems, fish screens, barriers, hatcheries, and collection facilities. Reclamation’s water wells portfolio features a variety of water wells for extraction, injection, and monitoring. These Reclamation-owned structures are important to executing Reclamation’s mission and require routine inspections to identify and document any required recommendations to keep them functioning as designed.

The Structures Program provides a consistent framework for inspecting and documenting maintenance needs for Reclamation’s structures, while conducting Reclamation-wide asset management practices, including maintaining comprehensive inventories, providing information for data calls, tracking inspections and reports, and providing policy guidance, resources, tools, and training related to Reclamation’s structures.
