Management for a
Project’s whole life cycle.
Environmental data is key in the
early stages through to
decommissioning and remediation.

is a collaborative way of working
underpinned by digital technologies.
These technologies allow for more
efficient methods of designing,
delivering and maintaining physical
built assets throughout their entire
lifecycle”
