First, we will explore the challenges, achievements, and transformative moments in Transpower’s asset management and resilience maturity journey. Presented by Julian Morton, Manager of Strategy, Performance, and Risk at Transpower. Following this, Pauline Orquillo, Civil Engineering Graduate at GHD will provide a case study on the value of applying Cathodic protection to a wharf assets where a long term whole of life approach is required.
