Our asset management experts, Heather and Ross, continue to discuss questions on risk management. A participant asks are maintenance schedules required for critical assets.

Coping with Regulations and Standards through Asset Management Planning

Operating and Maintaining Infrastructure Assets – The Challenge of Over Familiarization

Operating and Maintaining Infrastructure

A participant asked if the Havelock's contamination of the water system was preceded by an unusual rain event.
