You’ll read below some ongoing activities of the UDAM working group. Please keep in mind that UDAM is above all an opportunity for all of us to gather, work together and increase the visibility of asset management within the urban drainage community. We are more than open to new ideas, propositions and initiatives related to urban drainage asset management, so don’t wait to contact us!
A growing number of members…
Since the start of the group (end of 2018), the UDAM working group has already 25 members all over the world! Feel free to disseminate the group’s website (https://udam.home.blog/): it gathers information on the working group, presents the current activities as well as the members list.
The 6th EURO-SAM is almost there!
The 6th EURO-SAM will be held in Delft on the 18th and 19th of June 2019. We had to find a bigger room to fit the 30 participants! The agenda is ready and is available on the UDAM website if you want to have a look: https://udam.home.blog/euro-sam/
