SUMMARY:Webinar - Open Standards and BIM - what are they\, why are they important\, how to use them to your advantage
DESCRIPTION:Building Information Modelling (BIM) has been around for a long time and is now becoming commonplace\, and often a requirement\, on many building and infrastructure projects. The key component of BIM is the information element\, and when properly adopted it provides the backbone for efficiently managing data from the early conception of the asset being built through to operations and handover. \nHowever\, this can only be achieved with data that is well-defined early and the use of open standards\, or OpenBIM. This approach allows both the 3D geometry representing the asset and its connected data to move between various platforms or lifecycle stages\, always remaining accessible and able to be used in combination with 3D geometry (where required). \nEric Bugeja\, Chairperson of buildingSMART Australasia\, will provide you with an overview of information management best practice and the tools available to improve project efficiency. \nClick here to register \n\n		\n			\n				\n			\n			\n		 \n		\n			Eric has been at the forefront of applying technology to improve efficiency. His early engineering career focused on the development of leading-edge automation for manufacturing processes\, using technology to enhance both quality and production speed. He was also an early adopter of 3D design and Building Information Modelling (BIM). Following this\, Eric worked with a start-up company to transition from R&D into large-scale manufacturing. Over the past ten years\, he has shifted his expertise from manufacturing to transport infrastructure engineering and construction\, managing teams at GHD and serving as a Project Director. Eric has a passion for technology and driving industry change. He has been closely involved in the implementation and standardisation of Digital Engineering in infrastructure and is currently EIC’s Principal for Digital Integration and Capability\, supporting the CIMIC operating companies\, which include CPB Contractors\, UGL\, Leighton Asia\, Thiess\, Sedgman and Broad.

This project has expanded over the years to include the adjacent Toitoi Municipal Building\, culminating in a comprehensive Asset Information Model (AIM) of both buildings. \nA key development has been the integration of climate change data within the asset information model to enhance building resilience. This initiative demonstrates the potential of digital technologies\, and particularly Asset Information Models\, in fostering climate-resilient urban infrastructure. \nKey Points: \n\nObjective: To illustrate the integration process and benefits of including digital climate change data into an asset information model.\nMethodology: Overview of the process\, how we discussed strategic climate priorities and challenges for HDC\, how these informed the next steps\, and how this was used to inform the Asset Information Model.\nChallenges and Solutions: Discussion on merging climate data with the existing asset information model and how we navigated them.\nOutcomes and Benefits: Adding value to enhance asset resilience\, improve risk assessment\, and support informed decision-making for climate adaptation strategies through digitisation.\n\nThis presentation aims to showcase the project’s approach to leveraging an existing asset information model to assist in understanding and mitigating the impacts of climate change on critical infrastructure. \nJason Blac\, Senior Consultant – Strategic Advisory (Digital)\, WSP \nWith over a decade of experience in Project Management and Digital Advisory from the UK and the burgeoning digital sector in New Zealand\, Jason harbours a deep passion for supporting and guiding clients on their transformation journeys.

SUMMARY:Webinar - Data as an Asset - Mapping infrastructure management principles to datasets
DESCRIPTION:Data is increasingly being recognized as a valuable commodity that supports an increasing variety of business functions. However\, while it has become well recognized that good management of our ‘hard’ infrastructure benefits from the application of asset management principles\, the concept of data (in all its many varieties) as an infrastructure asset to be managed is still developing. \nIn this webinar\, we explore the nature of data as an infrastructure asset\, and how traditional asset management concepts such as value\, level-of-service and expected life can be adapted to this novel asset class. Additionally\, we discuss the distinction between management of data storage (which can be considered tangible) from management of the underlying\, intangible\, data itself. \n  \nClick here to register\n  \nAbout the speakers:  \nRobert Radovanovic is an Adjunct Associate Professor with the Schulich School of Engineering at the University of Calgary. His specialization includes leveraging spatial data from sources such as laser scanners\, unmanned aerial vehicles and embedded sensors to develop infrastructure asset inventories\, monitor performance and assess risk resiliency. Robert is heavily involved in developing curriculum for students in the fundamentals of asset management\, and how it ties into long-term sustainable outcomes for communities. \nTanya Hegmann is a recent graduate of the Masters of Engineering program at the University of Calgary and a registered Engineer-In-Training with the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of Alberta. Her specialization is in the field of Geographic Information Systems\, and she was an inaugural participant in the Asset Management for Sustainable Infrastructure course series developed at the University of Calgary. Her research work has focused in the application of asset management principles to datasets holdings\, with a goal of improving the consistent valuation of an intangible asset class.
