Managing Infrastructure Assets From Commissioning to Renewal Training Course
1Summary
An infrastructure asset that isn't tracked properly is, for all practical purposes, an asset nobody is managing — decisions get made on guesswork instead of condition data, and by the time a failure shows up, the cheaper window for fixing it has usually closed. The Infrastructure Asset Management Training Course is built around closing that gap: giving professionals the tools to know exactly what condition their assets are in, what that condition costs them, and when to act on it.
Across the programme, participants work through the full asset lifecycle — from initial planning and lifecycle costing, through condition assessment and risk-based maintenance strategy, to the data and technology (GIS, sensors, digital registers) that make modern asset management possible. The focus throughout stays practical: reducing operational risk, extending service life, and making investment decisions that hold up under budget pressure.
Delivered by Arab British Fellowship Training Academy as part of its Construction and Civil Engineering Training Courses, this Managing Infrastructure Assets From Commissioning to Renewal Training Course equips participants to build structured maintenance strategies and make informed investment decisions across the infrastructure lifecycle.
2Objectives and target group
By the end of this training course, participants will be able to:
- Apply Infrastructure Asset Management principles and frameworks, including lifecycle costing, to investment and maintenance decisions
- Assess asset condition, criticality and risk, and use that assessment to set maintenance priorities
- Develop lifecycle maintenance plans that apply preventive, predictive and condition-based approaches
- Improve asset performance, reliability, availability and service life over time
- Use performance indicators and asset data to monitor health and support budgeting and long-term investment planning
- Manage asset deterioration and plan renewal or replacement activities
- Apply GIS, sensors and other digital technologies to support data-driven maintenance planning
- Integrate sustainability and resilience considerations into infrastructure asset management
