The infrastructure gap: asset management in an age of rising demand

Making smarter decisions across the infrastructure lifecycle

Now streaming

The pressure on utilities asset managers has never been greater. Ageing infrastructure requires constant attention, investment decisions carry consequences measured in decades and workforces are stretched. Demand for water and energy capacity is only expected to grow, and assets were not built to sustain it.

At the same time, AI and digital tools are changing what’s possible across the full asset lifecycle. Whether that’s better decisions about what to replace and what to repurpose, earlier warning of failures before they happen, and faster, more coordinated responses when networks come under stress, AI is being applied to improve reliablility, reduce costs and extend asset life.

This webinar brings together senior leaders from across the utilities sector to explore what genuinely effective asset management looks like today, and where it is heading.

  • How is the role of asset management evolving in utilities, and where are organisations finding it hardest to keep pace?
  • Managing ageing infrastructure: how are utilities making smarter decisions about what to replace, repurpose or extend?
  • What does integrated lifecycle thinking look like in practice, and how does it change capital planning?
  • Laying the foundations for AI in asset management: what data standards are required?
  • How far can predictive maintenance go in improving asset performance and extending operational lifespans?
  • Guaranteeing network resilience: how are utilities maintaining supply continuity under increasing strain?
  • What organisational and workforce shifts are needed to get the most from new asset management approaches?
  • Looking ahead: where will the most significant changes in how utilities manage critical infrastructure come from?
