Event Summary: Asset management is crucial for designing sustainable, adaptable, and future-ready systems. By integrating asset management principles into the engineering design process, engineers can ensure that assets are optimized for long-term performance, cost efficiency, and risk management. This includes planning for lifecycle costs, leveraging data analytics for predictive maintenance, and designing flexible systems that can evolve with emerging technologies. As challenges such as aging infrastructure and sustainability pressures grow, asset management becomes essential for creating resilient solutions to meet future demands. Engineers should embrace this approach to ensure their designs remain effective and adaptable in an ever-changing world.

With a career spanning hands-on fieldwork to leadership roles in government, he founded ASI in 2023 to bridge the gap between policy and practice. ASI Engineering specializes in asset management, offering data-driven solutions for aging infrastructure. Darren’s expertise in engineering, project management, and asset strategy ensures practical, field-based decision-making. Passionate about training future engineers, he emphasizes real-world application. ASI Engineering is more than a firm – it’s a partner in infrastructure renewal, shaping sustainable solutions that enhance communities and ensure long-term resilience.
