Further details of courses can be obtainedthrough the Institute of Groundsmanship (www.iog.org).5.4 Management and MaintenanceThe installer and the supplier should make the owner and theappointed representative fully aware of how to maintain and managethe facility. This includes training and providing a detailed Code ofPractice for the facility.5.5 EvaluationWhen selecting a system it is important to evaluate what is availableand how long the facility will last. Numerous methods of evaluationhave been used over the years. The most simplistic has been to takethe total costs of installation, plus the management cost, divided bythe potential usage (See Example 1):Example 1:Period of time the facilities will be used before a new top structure isrequired 10 years.Cost and Usage Per Annum(One net facility)Installation cost: £6,500Management cost:£1,500 per annumUsage (adult) per annum: 1600 user hoursTotal Cost over Ten YearsInstallation cost: £6,500Maintenance cost: £15,000Total Cost: £21,500.00Usage: 1600 user hours x 10 = 16000£21,500.00 divided by 16,000 user hours = £1.34 per user hour.Note: A user hour is one person for one hour.
