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.

Digital Custodianship is not about replacing engineers with technology. It is about preserving institutional knowledge, integrating historical data, and applying AI-driven insights to extend asset life and improve resilience. We want to ensure the right knowledge is available to the right people at the right time. 

We have an opportunity to reclaim custodianship — digitally, intelligently, and for the long term.
