A Vision for the Future of Infrastructure Stewardship
Infrastructure management has evolved from custodianship of engineers to a more data-driven, externalised approach with digital systems and consultancies. While this has improved oversight, some aspects of custodianship have been lost. With growing challenges like climate change, proactive decision-making has become crucial.
We believe the answer lies in Digital Custodianship.
This white-paper brings together a broad cross-section of perspectives from leading voices across the infrastructure sector and explores:
-
The challenges faced in maintaining infrastructure condition with existing methods.
-
The potential of AI to transform how we identify, prioritise, and plan interventions.
- The limitations of current data practices and how they must evolve to enable AI-supported engineering.
