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.

The ‘in person’ symposium will be held at the Auckland University of Technology Conference Centre on Thursday 14 September 2023. \nThe cost in Australian dollars to attend either in person or online is: AMCouncil members $150\, non-members $310\, students $50. \nClick here to register\n  \nOn the agenda: \n\nBalancing the needs of today and tomorrow – Geoff Cooper (General Manager – Strategy\, Te Waihanga New Zealand Infrastructure Commission)\nUnison’s experience through Cyclone Gabrielle – Mitch Graham (Fault Avoidance & Constraints Engineer\, Unison)\nAuckland University of Technology or Assets Under Trauma? – David Curry\, AUT\nGFMAM landscape and TC251 update – Martin Kerr and Adele Jones\nUnderstanding asset condition at an airport – Stewart Symon (Asset Manager\, Auckland Airport) and Raymond Sloot (Manager Engineering Services\, Auckland Airport)\nCritical Infrastructure Natural Hazards Resilience Research Overview – Professor Liam Wotherspoon (Civil and Environmental Engineering\, University of Auckland)\n\nFull topic and speaker details below. \n \n\n					\nBalancing the needs of today and tomorrow\nGeoff Cooper\, General Manager – Strategy\, Te Waihanga (NZ Infrastructure Commission)\nIn a world where change is occurring at an ever-accelerating rate\, against a backdrop of global uncertainty and increasing costs for infrastructure – how do we meet our needs today\, address the challenges of our time and protect the future? \nWhile a lot of attention is given to new projects\, 99% of the infrastructure we need for the future is already with us today. As such\, the New Zealand Infrastructure Strategy Rautaki Hanganga highlights that a large part of New Zealand’s infrastructure deficit is the cost of maintaining and renewing existing infrastructure. \nTo manage the infrastructure challenges we face\, it is critical to get better use from this existing infrastructure\, and improve how we maintain and manage it. Geoff will place asset management within the greater national infrastructure challenge and discuss some of the knotty choices ahead\, as we grapple with the significant challenge of stewardship for the assets already around us. \nGeoff Cooper has a background in global policy having worked for the United Nations\, the United States Treasury and the Federal Reserve. \nBefore becoming GM Strategy at Te Waihanga (the New Zealand Infrastructure Commission)\, Geoff worked as a Chief Economist at Auckland Council and at PwC. \nGeoff holds a Master of Economics with First Class Honours from the University of Auckland and a Master of Public Affairs from Princeton University. \n\n					\nUnison’s experience through Cyclone Gabrielle\nMitch Graham\, Fault Avoidance & Constraints Engineer\, Unison\nIn February 2023 cyclone Gabrielle hit New Zealand. This was the costliest tropical cyclone on record in the southern hemisphere\, with total damages estimated to be at least $13.5 billion. The scale of damage and disruption to Unisons electricity distribution network was the most severe in living memory. This presentation will tell the story of Unisons response and ongoing recovery\, and how good asset management practices supported Unisons readiness and reduced the potential effects of such an event. \nMitch is a chartered electrical engineer and an asset management practitioner. Starting his career in the electricity distribution sector at Unison Networks\, Mitch cut his teeth in an operational engineering role within the Network Operation Centre. Since then\, Mitch has worked in Asset Management with a focus on overhead lines. His specialty areas include overhead conductor and timber pole condition assessment\, as well as asset risk modelling for renewal planning. Mitch has been an active member of seven electricity industry asset management working groups and steering committees\, and the chair of the Overhead Line Designers Forum. In 2023\, Mitch was named as the Electricity Engineers’ Association Young Engineer of the Year. \n\n					\nAUT – Auckland University of Technology or Assets Under Trauma?\nDavid Curry\, Group Director Estates Operations\, Auckland University of Technology\nThis presentation maps the development of Asset Management practice at AUT over the past 20 years and the (mostly) positive influence of Government Policy in the sector.  It covers the practical application of asset management in the operation of a large portfolio especially in relation to risk management and sustainability.  It seeks to offer a view on what an operational portfolio owners might want from their AM teams; ie what product are you offering?  The presentation will also cover how AM info is used in supporting the development of AUT’s Property Strategy. \nDavid has been involved in the planning\, development\, operation and maintenance of large public-sector property portfolios for over 35 years.  He holds a Pg Cert in Facilities Management from the University College of Estate Management and a Pg Dip in Disaster Risk Management from Auckland University of Technology.\n \n\n					\nUpdate of Global Forum on Maintenance & Aset Management (GFMAM) Asset Management Landscape Revision\nMartin Kerr\, AMCouncil Members’ Representative on TC251\, and Adele Jones\, Principal – Strategic Advisory (Asset Management)\, WSP New Zealand\nThis presentation will provide an overview of work being completed on GFMAM’s Project Number 24: The Asset Management Landscape 3rd Edition.

SUMMARY:Webinar - Remote Water Pipe Leakage Monitoring in Perth CBD
DESCRIPTION:To mitigate the risk and impact of water pipe leaks and bursts in the Perth CBD\, Water Corporation utilises remote active leak detection monitoring technology across selected distribution and reticulation water pipes. This remote monitoring provides a continuous acoustic visibility on the assets providing early detection capability for Non-Visible leaks and the protection of assets. This early detection of failures of the water pipes reduces the high cost reactive approach\, enables mitigation or remediation decisions to be deployed prior to Functional Failure. In a high density environment such as the Perth CBD minimises asset\, public safety\, subsequential damage and customer impacts resulting from bursts or catastrophic failures. \nActive leak detection monitoring in the Perth CBD is achieved by two remote monitoring deployments: \n\nZonescan NB-IoT Correlating Acoustic Loggers\, owned and maintained by Water Corporation utilising a Cloud Zonescan NET portal; and\nTreble Distributed Acoustic Sensing of leased fibre-optic cables\, analysed and reported by an external service provider.\n\nWhile the acoustic logger technology is used across the industry for monitoring\, the use of fibreoptic is technology is new within the water industry but utilised within other industries for temperature and vibration remote monitoring. \nThis presentation will provide an overview of remote monitoring deployed for non-visible leak detection and protection of assets\, and the benefits realised. \n  \nClick here to register\n  \nAbout the speakers:  \nIan Gibb is an electrical Engineer working\, for over 40 years on asset and network management\, risk and performance activities\, in the Electricity industry\, jurisdictionally and nationally\, and Water Utility industry in recent years. \nMatt Ferguson is an environmental Engineer with over 10 years’ experience in Water industry\, Environmental Service Delivery and Resources Sectors.

SUMMARY:Hybrid Event (Wellington or Online) -  New Zealand's Approaches to Climate Change
DESCRIPTION:Carbon\, how can this be measured\, verified and reduced by 2050 by Dr Lee Bint\, Director Sustainability\, New Zealand Defence Force\, and Rachael Wood\, Sustainability Advisor\, GHD; Climate-related disclosures\, scenario analysis\, and the TCFD framework – what it means for asset management. \nThis is a hybrid event\, with the in person event being held at Welling ton Railway Station Level 1\, and it will be available as a webinar to those wishing to join in online. \nClick here to register\n  \nAgenda:\n\n\n4.00pm: Arrival and registration (for those attending in person)\n4.10pm: Event opening by AMCouncil NZ Chapter\n4.25pm: Carbon\, how can this be measured\, verified and reduced by 2050 by Dr Lee Bint\, Director Sustainability\, New Zealand Defence Force\, and Rachel Wood\, Sustainability Advisor\, GHD\n5.10pm:  Climate-related disclosures\, scenario analysis\, and the TCFD framework – what it means for asset management\n\n\nAbout the presentations and speakers:\nPresentation 1: Carbon\, how can this be measured\, verified and reduced (by 2050)\nThe Defence Estate and Infrastructure sustainability journey began in 2018\, and by 2019 its Sustainability Framework was in play with the vision of Tuku Iho. Tuku Iho in this instance is explained as “our living legacy”. This reflects the ambition to leave the estate and the wider environment in a better condition for future generations. There are four pillars that provide the structure for the framework\, which highlight the complexities and interrelationships across all areas of sustainability. Tuku Iho includes a key action to mitigate the impacts to / from climate change\, while being more comprehensively sustainable. \nAdditionally\, the New Zealand Defence Force (NZDF) is a participant of the Carbon Neutral Government Programme (CNGP)\, which has been set up to accelerate the reduction of emissions within the public sector. The CNGP requires the measurement and verification of emissions annually\, and a number of key emissions reduction activities to achieve carbon neutrality. \nLee and Rachel will provide insight into the NZDF’s progress to-date\, and discuss how the Defence Estate is mitigating and adapting to climate change\, including how sustainability is being embedded into building designs to reduce emissions in both construction and operation\, as well as to keep people and assets safe from climate hazards that are likely to occur in the area. \nDr Lee Bint\, Director Sustainability\, New Zealand Defence Force\nLee has been leading the Defence sustainability journey since 2018\, establishing and implementing their first sustainability framework and leading a team of technical experts across energy\, sustainable buildings\, resilience and sustainability. During this time\, she has also co-founded the all-of-government sustainability group\, supported numerous other government agencies in commencing on their sustainability pathway\, held the position as Vice Chair of the Carbon & Energy Professionals Board and welcomed her daughter into the world. \nPrior to Defence\, Lee worked as a Sustainable Building Scientist at BRANZ while also completing the Sustainable Business Council Future Leaders’ Programme and being elected the Future Leader’s Representative on the Sustainable Business Council Board\, and also working with UnionAID as the hosts of the Myanmar Young Leaders Programme. \nLee completed her PhD in Building Science at Victoria University of Wellington\, which included the development of a Water Efficiency Rating Tool that was awarded runner-up at the Grow Wellington Bright Ideas Challenge in 2011. \nRachel Wood\, Sustainability Advisor\, GHD\nRachel is an Environmental Economist with a master’s degree in Economics from Auckland University of Technology (AUT) majoring in Ecological Footprint Accounting. As a student\, she discovered a passion for resource management\, climate change research\, environmental economics (impact analysis)\, and social development. She is interested in improving the sustainability of social and economic activity through innovative solutions and effective strategies. During her time at GHD\, she has become more engaged with greenhouse gas accounting for carbon emissions auditing and Climate Change Risk Assessments. \nPresentation 2: Climate-related disclosures\, scenario analysis\, and the TCFD framework – what it means for asset management in practice\nWhat can – and should – asset managers do now in the face of increasing climate change impacts\, evolving climate policies\, and potentially insufficient financial and human resources to address it? The Taskforce on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) framework offers an answer – about how to manage climate change strategy\, targets\, action planning\, risk management and financial decisions. \nTCFD reporting – also called climate-related disclosures or climate statements in New Zealand – is now mandatory for most of the country’s financial system and listed companies. It is strongly incentivised for the public sector\, too\, which reports to the Ministry for the Environment and Climate Change Commission under the Zero Carbon Act. \nApplied to asset management\, TCFD reporting can consolidate information on where you want to get to\, what you need to do\, and the good work you’re already doing – but perhaps not thinking of it as climate-related. In the guise of a reporting framework\, TCFD reporting is a strategic planning exercise\, which asset managers can use to test the resilience of their current strategies. Like testing a plane in a wind tunnel\, the TCFD framework uses climate scenario analysis to consider different plausible futures\, such as rapid decarbonisation or ‘hot house’ warming scenarios. \nWith insurers and banks among those required to report\, and international adoption of TCFD reporting in the UK\, TCFD is where all entities’ climate change reporting is going. And it can be immensely helpful to asset managers seeking to organise their approach to climate change. \nMatt Raeburn\, Principal – Strategic Advisory (Climate Change and Sustainability)\, WSP\nMatt is a Principal climate strategist based in WSP’s Wellington office with 18 years of experience in Aotearoa New Zealand and the US. An American-Kiwi who spent a decade in environmental law and policy in Washington DC and Portland\, Oregon\, Matt worked in the Ministry for the Environment’s Climate Directorate from 2018-2021. There\, he implemented parallel TCFD reporting regimes under the Zero Carbon Act and Financial Sector Amendment Act. \nOver 7 years in New Zealand\, Matt has worked with corporate\, council and Central Government asset managers on their climate risks\, strategies\, and reporting projects as a consultant for EY\, Beca\, and now WSP. He recently developed climate scenarios for NZ’s construction and property sector and previously led delivery of the Wellington Regional Climate Change Impact Assessment. \nAdele Jones\, Principal – Strategic Advisory (Asset Management)\, WSP\nAdele is a Principal in our Strategic Advisory team with 20+ years of experience\, leading and delivering a diverse range of strategic advisory\, asset management\, network management and procurement projects\, both nationally and internationally. Adele has worked across a wide variety of horizontal and vertical infrastructure portfolios\, including transport\, 3-waters\, property and buildings\, recreation and aviation. \nAdele’s technical skills span wide range of asset management practices at strategic\, tactical and operational levels\, with a strong focus on aligning with the International Standard for asset management\, ISO 55001. She has experience in asset management policy\, asset management system development\, strategic asset management planning\, investment decision making approaches\, business case development\, asset management planning\, risk management and asset data and information management practices.

SUMMARY:Brisbane - UAV/ROV-based multi-layer Collection Methods and defect detection algorithms for asset condition inspections – Is this the future? and Brisbane Chapter Social
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to the Brisbane Chapter’s next event of the year; which will explore the applications of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and Remote Operated Vehicles (ROVs) for condition assessment. It will look at the current status and market background of asset management\, focusing on the global drive for asset owners to predict and prolong active asset life while de-risking their assets\, and despite ever increasing pressures to increase capacity and performance. \nWe will also address the pain points faced by today’s asset owners regarding digital condition assessments and explore various systems available\, such as UAV collection only\, manual recognition and defect quantification\, UAV collection and AI recognition of defects\, and AI-induced UAV collection to address these concerns. The discussed methodologies will also be supported by real-life case studies of implementations from different sectors. \nThis session will be followed by our Chapter’s first Social of the year so please stay with us after for drinks and networking at a nearby watering hole! \nClick here to register\n  \nAgenda\nNetworking and nibbles: 4.30pm – 5.30pm\nPresentation & Q&A: 5pm – 6pm\nBrisbane Chapter Social: 6pm – 7.30pm \n  \nAbout the speaker:  \nClara Owen\, National Director Asset Management\, Arcadis \nClara Owen is an innovative and strategic thinker with a strong background in asset management and engineering.
