ALGIM Webinar: Trusted Asset Information for Water Utilities: An ISO 19650 Approach

This webinar is for ALGIM Council / CCO members only. 

Join us to learn how Tauranga City Council has successfully developed and implemented an ISO 19650–aligned Information Management Framework that embeds consistent asset information capture throughout project delivery. This approach establishes clear standards and responsibilities, driving greater consistency across contractors and internal teams while ensuring the delivery of high quality, structured asset data.

You’ll hear how this framework underpins digital engineering initiatives—supporting GIS, BIM, digital twins, and smarter asset management—and how it positions councils for long term efficiency and better decision making.

Whether your council is just beginning this journey or looking to collaborate and enhance an existing framework to unlock greater value, this session will provide insights you can take back to your organisation
