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. He is also the Chairman of buildingSMART Australasia and was recently appointed to the buildingSMART International Board.

SUMMARY:Webinar - Advancing Climate Resilience in the Transport Sector - Climate Change and Natural Hazard Risk Assessment and Adaptation Planning Guidelines (AM in Action - a 2025 Excellence Award Submission)
DESCRIPTION:Climate change is placing growing pressure on transport infrastructure across Australia and New Zealand. In this session\, discover how the new Austroads Climate Change and Natural Hazard Risk Assessment and Adaptation Planning Guidelines—developed by AECOM—are helping agencies proactively manage these challenges. You’ll learn how to apply a structured\, evidence-based approach to assessing climate risks and planning targeted adaptations\, with practical takeaways for building resilience into your organisation’s transport asset management strategy. \nClick here to register \nPart of the Asset Management in Action Webinar Series – showcasing submissions from the 2025 Excellence Awards. \nPresenters: \n\nAllan Klindworth\, Associate Director – Sustainability and Resilience\, AECOM\nJoanne Vanselow\, Program Manager\, Vehicles & Technology / Environment & Sustainability\, Austroads\n\n\n		\n			\n				\n			\n			\n		 \n		\n			Allan Klindworth is an Associate Director – Sustainability and Resilience at AECOM. He has over 18 years of experience delivering complex\, thought leading climate adaptation projects. He has worked with all levels of government as well as private sector organisations\, helping them to understand the risks presented by the changing climate and to build their resilience through adaptation planning. This work has included assessing risks to existing asset portfolios and integrating consideration of climate change impacts into strategic planning and asset design processes. Allan’s climate resilience experience includes the state-wide assessment of climate risks to Government infrastructure for Infrastructure Victoria and supporting the integration of climate resilience and sustainability policy into the delivery of major infrastructure projects\, including Victoria’s Level Crossing Removal Project and the North East Link and West Gate Tunnel projects. Allan has also developed climate risk and adaptation frameworks and guidance for federal\, state and international government agencies\, including Austroads\, USAID\, the Australian Department of Defence\, the former Australian Government Department of Climate Change and Energy Efficiency and the former Victorian Department of Transport.\n		\n			\n		 \n\n		\n			\n				\n			\n			\n		 \n		\n			Joanne Vanselow is a Program Manager at Austroads\, the association of Australian and New Zealand transport agencies.
