EUROSAM 2024: 9th EUROpean – Sewer Asset Management network workshop
Co-UDlabs supported the 9th EURO-SAM workshop, held at the University of Sheffield on 17th and 18th September 2024. This workshop is organised by the UDAM working group of the IWA Joint Committee on Urban Drainage and is open to any researcher from any background to present and discuss research around sewer asset management.
Core topics included: new inspection techniques, AI and modelling for rehabilitation planning, inspection and investment strategies, and more generally the sustainable transformation of our sewer infrastructures. Limiting the event to 30 participants allows a clear focus on research content, allowing for longer discussions, deeper exchanges and the chance to make new collaborations while reaffirming old ones.
The Sheffield workshop hosted 25 participants from Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, The Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Sweden, and the UK, who made 16 technical presentations across the two days. While in Shefield, participants also had the opportunity to visit the Co-UD Labs research facilities at ICAIR and on the main campus.
