Interventions on infrastructure networks in cities cause disruptions to the services provided by those but also to other networks that have to be at least partially shut down for the interventions executed. Due to these effects, there is substantial benefit to be obtained by grouping interventions on networks that are spatially close to one another. This benefit is principally due to reduced costs of intervention and reduced service disruption. In this paper, two intervention grouping methodologies to develop work programs for infrastructure networks are investigated. The first is based on static, the second is based on dynamic grouping. The two methodologies are investigated by developing work programs on multiple infrastructure networks in an urban area and compared against the same methodologies, albeit without coordination. In the example, interventions on the objects of five different infrastructure networks are grouped based on failure probability of the objects and their closeness. It is found that the dynamic grouping methodology results in work programs that result in a better consideration and prioritisation of objects that are in urgent need for an interventi, while accounting for the synergies that can be created due to efficient coordination. The advantages, disadvantages and future research directions are discussed.
