IAM is a multi-disciplinary field of practice that brings together data on the condition and location of assets like roads, utilities and buildings with analytics that assess how assets will age and wear under current and anticipated use patterns and environmental conditions. In this presentation, an overview of the principles of IAM is provided, along with discussion of how IAM systems are put together in practice from a data gathering, analytics and policy perspective. $50 for Members and $90 for non-members (prices excl. GST).
Worldwide, there has been a growing recognition that smarter investments in infrastructure are needed if we are going to ensure sustainable outcomes for communities. This is driving an increased interest in the area of Infrastructure Asset Management (IAM), which in turn is providing an exciting opportunity for surveyors and other geomatics professionals to diversify on the basis of their geospatial expertise.
IAM is a multi-disciplinary field of practice that brings together data on the condition and location of assets like roads, utilities and buildings with analytics that assess how assets will age and wear under current and anticipated use patterns and environmental conditions. This information is then used to prioritize investment decisions to minimize total lifecycle costs while ensuring that end users receive consistent and quality service delivery.
In this presentation, an overview of the principles of IAM is provided, along with discussion of how IAM systems are put together in practice from a data gathering, analytics and policy perspective. Many of the technologies which are driving advances in IAM have roots in the geomatics profession, such as 3D laser scanners, remote sensing, GIS databases and least-squares and other prediction techniques and this presentation focuses on the geomatics and surveying underpinnings of this practice area.
