Strategic Asset Management 

Value-based Infrastructure Asset Management

This project focuses on developing tools and methodologies to support through-life decision-making and information management for infrastructure assets such as rail networks, bridges and highways.

Management of Asset Portfolios

This research addresses an increasing need in the industry to manage investments across large asset portfolios based on the associated risk of assets.

Management of Complex Systems

Next Generation Converged Digital Infrastructure

This is an ambitious programme geared to create an agile, resilient internet and telecommunications network capable of meeting the future needs of our rapidly changing society and ensure that the UK’s digital infrastructure continues to be world leading.

SAFEWAY

This research aims to address the ability of transport systems to function during adverse conditions and quickly recover to acceptable levels of service after extreme events.

Machine Learning and Prognostics

This project brings together the power of machine learning and predictive data analytics to improve prediction of equipment failures and optimise predictive maintenance strategies.

Social Network of Machines

This project aims to deliver a step change in efficiency and performance to the world of manufacturing by bringing together the advances in three domains – the Internet of Things, Social Networking and Engineering Asset Management.

Digital Twins for Infrastructure

The objective of this project is to develop a dynamic digital twin of the IfM (and the West Cambridge campus) and demonstrate its impact on facilities management and wider productivity and well-being.

Digital Cities for Change

This project aims to identify how data and digital tools are impacting the mechanics of policy, governance and management of a city and infrastructure planning and design in practice.

Condition-based Maintenance Optimisation

This project aims to understand how assets affect system performance by modelling complex behaviors of such assets, e.g., interactive deterioration between components in an asset, fault propagation between assets in a system.

Asset Information Management 

Information Requirements for Asset Management 

The objectives of this activity are to develop a structured methodology to develop through-life asset information requirements and to develop guidance on how to organise and manage data to support asset management.

BIM Maturity Assessment 

This CSIC-funded project aims at developing an assessment tool to measure the maturity of information management processes during construction and delivery of infrastructure.

Value of Information

This activity focusses on quantifying the value of condition-monitoring and other asset information in improving through-life asset management decisions.
