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:Melbourne - Achieving TOTEX Success: Integrating People\, Processes and Systems in Asset Management Planning (A Strategic Approach to Public Private Partnerships)
DESCRIPTION:Public–Private Partnerships (PPPs) carry inherent financial risks\, particularly when fixed-price contracts fail to reflect total lifecycle costs. To manage this\, PFM adopted a Total Expenditure (TOTEX) Strategic Asset Management (SAM) approach that integrates people\, processes\, and systems to align CAPEX and OPEX decisions for long-term value. \nThe two key barriers—poor data quality and limited practitioner capability—were addressed through the development of two foundational enablers: the Asset Management System (AMS) and the Asset Management Community of Practice (AMCoP). The AMS standardised tools and processes\, while the AMCoP fostered collaboration\, upskilling\, and knowledge sharing. These enabled the creation of high-value resources such as a Lifecycle Cost and Maintenance database. \nIn practice\, these frameworks supported accurate data capture and scenario modelling within PPP contracts\, driving evidence-based decisions. The outcome was optimised lifecycle planning and risk management\, demonstrating how a structured\, data-driven approach can mitigate PPP risks and achieve TOTEX-aligned outcomes. \nClick here to register\n  \n\n		\n			\n				\n			\n			\n		 \n		\n			Mincheol Lee is a seasoned asset management professional with extensive experience across strategic\, tactical\, and operational levels of asset-intensive environments. Known for his outcomes-focused approach\, Mincheol specialises in developing and executing comprehensive asset management strategies that align organisational objectives with effective risk management\, cost control\, and lifecycle performance optimisation. With hands-on experience in delivering ISO 55001-aligned systems and governance frameworks\, Mincheol brings deep capability in full lifecycle asset management\, including asset data modelling\, lifecycle cost analysis\, CMMS configuration\, and the integration of digital engineering solutions. He has successfully led the design and implementation of asset information management systems\, technical maintenance plans\, and configuration control frameworks to enable reliable\, data-driven decision-making. A strong collaborator\, Mincheol works across disciplines to uplift asset management maturity and build Communities of Practice that foster knowledge sharing\, capability development\, and operational excellence. His work continues to support optimised total cost of ownership outcomes across complex infrastructure portfolios.

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. With 17 years of experience spanning both the private and public sectors\, she brings a unique\, holistic perspective to the challenges of modern transport. Joanne began her career as an automotive engineer\, where she developed an understanding of vehicle systems and innovation. She then transitioned into the public sector\, applying her expertise to policy and strategy\, and managed key projects in vehicle safety data insights and trialling connected and automated vehicle technologies. In her current role\, she helps transport agencies to operate a safe and sustainable network by managing two critical programs of work: the vehicles and technology program\, which harnesses the benefits of emerging technologies to improve safety\, sustainability and productivity\, and the environment and sustainability program\, which embeds sustainability into transport decision-making. She is currently managing a suite of projects around climate change resilience and transport decarbonisation with a focus on enabling Austroads members to integrate these considerations into the way they plan\, build and manage transport assets and networks..
