With growing complexity in utility infrastructure projects and increasing demands for transparency, cost control and sustainability, utility network owners must evolve how they manage information and deliver consistent outcomes. This session will examine how standardised processes, data structures and digital information management can streamline operations, reduce duplication and improve decision-making across the asset lifecycle..
As the utilities sector faces increasing pressure to balance competing priorities including major project delivery, aging infrastructure, climate change and regulatory shifts, utilities need rapid innovation. Traditional procurement and contracting models are struggling to keep pace. This session explores innovative strategies that challenge conventional approaches, highlighting how emerging collaborative frameworks, agile methodologies and technology can drive greater efficiency, resilience and value in infrastructure delivery and service provision.

Planning delays remain one of the biggest obstacles to delivering critical infrastructure at pace with half of major planning decisions challenged in court. This session explores how to streamline the approval process while ensuring greater accountability for utility clients to demonstrate meaningful local engagement. This session examines how reforms aim to remove blockers early in the process, balancing the need for speed with community input and environmental stewardship in a rapidly evolving planning landscape.
As utilities face delivering once in a generation projects and an unprecedented level of infrastructure delivery against finite resource in the supply chain, finding new ways of working is essential to deliver projects on time and on budget. This session uncovers best practice and lessons learnt from capital project case studies on mobilising the workforce, driving productivity and engaging with the supply chain.

Water and energy networks are tasked with delivering more than ever before in their regulatory price control period. With limited resources and restricted capacity in the supply chain, the utility sector must design, build and maintain assets more efficiently. This session will uncover how the industry can work together to overcome workforce strain, improve capability planning, and unlock new efficiencies.
Capital project delivery in the utilities sector is under increasing pressure to be delivered on time and on budget while providing social value. This session explores how AI, automation, machine learning and cutting-edge digital tools are being leveraged to enhance planning, forecasting, risk management and real-time decision-making. This session will give attendees insights into how these technologies are transforming project outcomes, enabling smarter, data-driven capital investment strategies.

Under immense pressure to delivery at scale and pace while driving the net zero agenda, there is a growing need to rethink how infrastructure is designed, delivered and maintained. This session will explore how Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) and innovative delivery models can significantly reduce carbon emissions, drive productivity and efficiency and improve safety across the supply chain across the asset lifecycle.
Despite a huge injection of investment for asset renewal, replacement and new infrastructure there is still a critical need to better monitor and manage existing assets. This session will explore the innovations, technologies and tools helping asset managers gain better visibility of the network, optimise existing asset and infrastructure and sweat assets to last longer while performing for customers.
To align water supply forecasts with predicted demand, the UK needs to act now to guarantee clean drinking water for future generations. The last reservoir build in the UK was completed in 1992, how are clients and the supply chain embracing new technologies, leaning on historical knowledge and winning over local communities to deliver reservoirs? Join this session to learn from case studies at different delivery stages to support upskilling and knowledge transfer across the industry.
