Join guest from the Environment Agency and Heathrow Airport as we explore Asset Management Technical Authorities.

This Mott MacDonald facilitated panel event will bring together industry leaders to explore how Asset Management Technical Authorities are defined and applied in practice, how they interface with different business functions, and how they can help organisations to strengthen their approach to managing risk, complexity, and long-term value.

Infrastructure managers, owners and operators are facing the same uncomfortable reality: ageing assets, increasing service pressures, and not enough budget to manage everything they’re responsible for.

Infrastructure organisations need to make consistent, risk‑informed decisions across complex, evolving asset portfolios.

Asset Management Technical Authorities can play a critical role in addressing this challenge by providing assurance of technical integrity, enabling robust governance, and supporting confident decision‑making across the asset lifecycle.

This panel event will provide insight into how technical authorities can be defined, structured, and applied within complex infrastructure organisations. The panel and discussion will explore the scope and responsibilities associated with a technical authority, including how they can operate in practice and how boundaries are set.

The discussion will also examine how technical authorities overlap with the wider asset management landscape, interacting with across business functions, highlighting areas of alignment, challenge, and opportunity.
