In many operational workflows, site evidence is captured to answer a specific question and then effectively forgotten. Photographs are taken to support a work order, notes are recorded during an inspection, and reports are produced to satisfy a particular review. Once that immediate need has passed, the evidence is archived,

DWMP (Drainage and Wastewater Management Plan) delivery rarely sits within a single team or organisation. Evidence moves between planners developing options, operators managing day-to-day assets, contractors preparing scopes, and regulators reviewing assumptions and outcomes. For decisions to progress with confidence, that evidence must be accessible across these boundaries. In practice,

In the context of Drainage and Wastewater Management Plan (DWMP) delivery, assurance is often described in terms of process. Were the right steps followed, the correct templates used, and the required reviews completed. These questions still matter, but they are no longer sufficient on their own. As regulatory scrutiny increases,

Across UK water organisations, repeat site access has become a routine way of closing evidence gaps. When questions arise about access, condition, routing, or clearance, the safest response is often to plan another visit. This is understandable. Site access provides certainty in situations where records and reports leave too much

UK water utilities operate some of the most mature digital estates in the infrastructure sector. Geographic information systems, asset management platforms, enterprise resource planning tools, document repositories, and data warehouses are widely deployed and deeply embedded. In most organisations, the problem is not the absence of systems. The challenge lies

Over the past decade, UK water organisations have invested heavily in data. Asset registers have become more complete, data warehouses more sophisticated, and analytics more deeply embedded in planning and reporting processes. In many respects, data maturity has become a proxy for organisational capability. Yet when Drainage and Wastewater Management

Drainage and Wastewater Management Plans are built on increasingly sophisticated foundations. Hydraulic models are more detailed, asset registers more complete, and analytical tooling more capable than at any point in the past. Yet when decisions move from the abstract to the practical, many teams still find themselves asking the same
