For road and electricity authorities

Infrastructure Cost Recovery

Recovering the cost of damage to public infrastructure from the parties responsible for it.

Discuss a mandate

The cost that stays with the authority

The legal right to recover the cost already exists.

Public road and electricity infrastructure is damaged every day. The authority repairs it and absorbs the cost. The drivers responsible, and their insurers, pay nothing. Techrise Africa supplies the process to exercise that right, as a single managed function.

  • Streetlight poles
  • Road signage and markings

Infrastructure cost recovery

The six stages of a claim

From the scene of the damage to monthly reporting.

  1. The streetlight's case close up: the bent pole on its grey tile with its amber pin, and the civic building beyond.

    Stage 1 of 6

    Scene intelligence

    Incident details are captured at the scene.

  2. Side on to the bent streetlight: a dashed outline of the pole as it stood, and amber lines measuring its lean.

    Stage 2 of 6

    Case engineering

    The scene record is turned into a validated, quantified claim.

  3. Along the tile's base: a repair quotation sheet stands beside the bent pole, with an amber tick on it.

    Stage 3 of 6

    Repair quotation and approval

    The damage is costed through approved suppliers, and you sign off the quotation.

  4. Lifting toward the civic building: the amber arc from the streetlight's pin on its way to the asset owner.

    Stage 4 of 6

    Demand and recovery

    The responsible party is pursued for the cost.

  5. Low beside the arc: a gate stands across it, where the return is held.

    Stage 5 of 6

    Litigation management

    Matters that stay unresolved are escalated through appointed attorneys.

  6. Pulling back out: the pole stands upright again, and the arc reaches the civic building.

    Stage 6 of 6
