As-built accuracy to optimise operations

Informed Engineering supports the delivery of critical utility infrastructure by applying structured, standards driven information management aligned with ISO 19650. Our approach ensures clarity, control and collaboration across complex linear networks, high risk environments and multidisciplinary supply chains.

The utilities sector, encompassing electricity, gas, water and telecommunications, relies on extensive infrastructure networks to deliver essential services safely and reliably. As these networks expand and are refurbished, accurate and up to date as-built information becomes critical during construction to prevent costly errors, service disruptions and regulatory non-compliance.

Informed Support

Building information modelling (BIM) and structured information management transform utility projects by providing a single source of truth. Coordinated models and digital records allow teams to track assets, verify installations and manage complex interfaces between civil, mechanical and electrical systems. This ensures construction is delivered correctly the first time, reducing rework, downtime and operational risk.

Informed Engineering supports utilities clients with services such as Common Data Environments (CDE) implementation, BIM modelling, drawing production and detailed as-built documentation. By capturing accurate, reliable information at every stage, utilities operators can confidently hand over assets for safe operation and long term maintenance.

Informed Services

Clear, consistent information requirements

We define Exchange Information Requirements (EIR), Asset Information Requirements (AIR) and information delivery plans that align with regulatory, operational and asset management needs, ensuring every contractor, designer and supplier delivers accurate, timely information.

Coordinated engineering across multiple disciplines

Using ISO 19650 processes, we manage structured model coordination across electricity networks, gas pipelines, water/wastewater systems and telecoms infrastructure. This reduces clashes, improves design quality and supports safe construction.

Digital tools for routing, optioneering and land management

We support utility corridor planning, network modelling, capacity studies, environmental assessment and digital engagement using model based workflows that improve early decision making.

Governance, compliance and assurance

ISO 19650 provides transparent version control, traceability and approvals, supporting regulatory requirements, health and safety obligations and the management of complex work packages across dispersed geographies.

Handover data aligned to operational systems

We embed structured asset data requirements to ensure utility operators receive accurate, validated information that seamlessly integrates into GIS, CMMS, ADMS/SCADA and long term asset management systems.

Experience across major utility networks

Supporting new installations, upgrades, diversions, renewals, maintenance programmes, decarbonisation initiatives and strategic infrastructure programmes across electricity, gas, water/wastewater and telecommunications.

Our structured workflows improve routing, optioneering, safety and regulatory compliance while reducing design and construction risk. We ensure accurate, validated asset information is delivered at handover, fully aligned with GIS, CMMS, SCADA and long term asset management systems to support reliable, efficient network operation.
