SUMMARY:Webinar - Tauranga City's Wedge Model: Getting Asset Information Right the First Time and Building In-house Capability (AM in Action 1 of 9)
DESCRIPTION:This presentation will focus on how Tauranga City Council’s City Water team used the Wedge Model to get asset data right first time and build in-house capability. It sets clear asset information requirements\, embeds ISO 19650-aligned ways of working in live projects\, and transfers knowledge through shadow consulting so the council team can lead without ongoing external support. \nThe work improved handover readiness and reduced information chasing and rework. The delivery milestone was a digital twin water network pilot (March 2025) bringing together GIS\, hydraulic modelling and SCADA to support day-to-day operational decisions. \nPart of the Asset Management in Action Webinar Series – showcasing submissions from the 2026 Excellence Awards. \nClick here to register\n  \n\n		\n			\n				\n			\n			\n		 \n		\n			Juan Martinez brings a unique blend of experience from both the private consultancy sector and local government\, offering deep insights into the operational and strategic challenges faced on each side. In his current role as Digital Engineering Lead at City Waters\, Juan has developed and implemented an Information Management framework aligned with ISO principles\, driving the adoption of digital engineering practices across infrastructure projects. His leadership is rooted in a strong commitment to sustainability and systems efficiency. Juan is an active contributor to the water industry\, regularly speaking at national conferences and playing a key role in the development of data standards for water assets. He is currently one of the four national BIM in NZ advisors\, and an active collaborator within WaterNZ SWIG Digital Engineering and AI Forum AEC working groups.

SUMMARY:Webinar - Resilience at Scale: Transforming the Essential Energy Network through Composite Pole Transition  (AM in Action 2 of 9)
DESCRIPTION:This presentation will focus on how\, by transitioning to composite poles\, Essential Energy is building a stronger\, more resilient network that reduces outages\, shortens restoration times\, and delivers safer\, more reliable electricity for the customers and communities we serve\, when they need it most. \nManaging 1.4 million poles and replacing more than 9\,000 end-of-life assets each year\, Essential Energy is future-proofing one of Australia’s largest distribution networks. \nAn ageing timber pole fleet\, constrained supply and escalating climate risk drove a decisive transition to composite poles. With one in five poles in bushfire-prone areas\, composite materials strengthen resilience\, improve survivability\, reduce outages and accelerate restoration\, thereby safeguarding customer outcomes and network reliability. \nPart of the Asset Management in Action Webinar Series – showcasing submissions from the 2026 Excellence Awards. \nClick here to register\n  \n\n		\n			\n				\n			\n			\n		 \n		\n			Deepak Pais is the Manager Engineering – Network Standards at Essential Energy.

SUMMARY:Webinar - Closing the Gaps: A Decade of Measurable Asset Management Improvement at EnergyAustralia (AM in Action 3 of 9)
DESCRIPTION:This presentation will focus on EnergyAustralia’s Asset Management System maturity journey from 2016 to 2025. \nIn 2016\, EnergyAustralia identified significant deficiencies in its Asset Management System through its first fleet wide Asset Management Review. In 2025\, a comprehensive AS/ISO 55001-aligned Asset Management Maturity Assessment demonstrated measurable uplift: 4 major gaps fully closed\, 10 materially progressed\, and only 1 legacy gap outstanding. \nIn the time between the two assessments\, a sustained program of design\, implementation\, and optimisation of Asset Management artifacts\, processes and procedures have been implemented. The implementation of the mature Asset Management System has required consistent effort\, heavy stakeholder engagement\, regular leadership alignment and involvement\, and a lot of passion and enthusiasm from the team. \nPart of the Asset Management in Action Webinar Series – showcasing submissions from the 2026 Excellence Awards. \nClick here to register\n  \n \n\n					Jennifer (Jenny) Ratsep is a Mechatronics Engineer and the Asset Systems Leader for the EnergyAustralia generation portfolio.

SUMMARY:Webinar - Transforming Infrastructure Decision Making: Aqwest's Strategic Decommissioning and Infrastructure Prioritisation Framework (AM in Action 4 of 9)
DESCRIPTION:This presentation will focus on how Aqwest\, in partnership with BetterAIM\, developed a transparent\, corporate-objective-aligned decision framework to address increasing climate risk\, ageing infrastructure and uncertainty around which assets should be renewed\, retained or decommissioned within the Bunbury Water Supply Scheme. \nThe co-designed methodology integrates weighted strategic objectives\, risk and benefit scoring\, and pre- and post-mitigant analysis to prioritise activities across the entire scheme. The framework transformed reactive project listings into structured\, evidence-based infrastructure governance. \nThe framework has reshaped the Strategic Asset Plan and long-term water strategy\, strengthened Board confidence\, and is being embedded more broadly within the organisation. It represents a significant innovation in infrastructure planning under uncertainty. \nPart of the Asset Management in Action Webinar Series – showcasing submissions from the 2026 Excellence Awards. \nClick here to register \n  \n\n		\n			\n				\n			\n			\n		 \n		\n			Cameron Jessup is the Technical Director – Water Services Advisory / Regional Director – Queensland with BetterAIM.

SUMMARY:Webinar - The Good\, the Bad and the Ugly of FMECA and RCM (MRiAM 2 of 5)
DESCRIPTION:The Good\, the Bad and the Ugly of FMECA and RCM – Lessons Learned from the Real World \nFailure Modes\, Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA) and Reliability-Centred Maintenance (RCM) are recognised reliability tools\, yet their application is often challenging. This session shares practical experiences\, successes\, pitfalls\, and lessons learned from implementing FMECA and RCM programs. Rather than a “how-to” workshop\, the focus is on understanding what works\, what doesn’t\, and how organisations can maximise value from these critical reliability processes. \nPresented by Tanya Viano\, Past Chair of Maintenance & Reliability in Asset Management Special Interest Group\, Asset Management Council \nPart two of the five-part Reliability Engineering Excellence webinar series. \nClick here to register\nThis webinar can be attended as a standalone session\, or join us for the full series as we progress from reliability fundamentals through to predictive maintenance and AI/ML.

SUMMARY:Webinar -  The Boundary\, Drawn: Launching the Human–AI Boundary Framework for Asset Management
DESCRIPTION:In June we asked a question: who decides — the human or the AI? Four webinars\, almost 2\,800 community responses and a volunteer working group later\, the answer is published: The Human–AI Boundary Framework for Asset Management\, Version 1.0 — to our knowledge a world first\, and built the way a first should be: in the open\, judged line by line by practitioners\, closed with 162 votes and zero objections. \nThis session is the official launch — and true to the series\, it is not a lecture. In one hour we will walk the framework’s spine: the seven principles\, the six-level ladder\, the Decision Rights Matrix your votes populated\, the boundary test\, and the envelope-and-stop discipline for AI that acts. Then you vote again\, live — has the community’s boundary already moved since the freeze? Where the working group split\, does the room split the same way? \nVersion 1.0 is a minimum viable framework\, deliberately: AI develops fast\, and this framework will iterate fast with it. Come see what your profession built — and cast the first votes of the next iteration. \nRead it before you come — and say what you think: Version 1.0 is live now at https://projects.amcouncil.com.au/human-ai-boundary. Every section is open for comment on the project site (sign in to leave yours)\, and change proposals go straight onto the v1.x register. Bring your sharpest question — we’ll put the best of them to the room. \nWho should attend: asset managers\, planners\, maintenance and operations leads\, data and digital leads\, risk and assurance professionals\, and the executives who sign. \n\nClick here to register
