If it is cancelled you will be notified and your workshop payment will be refunded.

This workshop will leverage multiple industry perspectives to develop comprehensive strategies to buried infrastructure asset management in the Mid-Atlantic Region. Consultants, technology providers and utility leaders will present different aspects of buried infrastructure asset management within the context of over-arching asset management programs. These varying industry perspectives will provide the following benefits: · To communicate different aspects and viewpoints of buried infrastructure asset management · To highlight discontinuities in the asset management implementation process and suggest comprehensive strategies Participants in this workshop will leave with an appreciation of key components of buried infrastructure asset management programs and ideas for implementing a comprehensive asset management program. Looking to the future, it is hoped that this seminar will lead to future industry-wide discussions to actively improve asset management implementation in the Mid-Atlantic Region. The agenda includes the following topics: The Big Picture, Buried Infrastructure Condition Assessment, Utility Perspectives, and Round Table Discussion.
