TRANSCO is a subsidiary of Abu Dhabi Water & Electricity Authority (ADWEA) and is responsible for developing, operating and maintaining the high voltage power transmission and bulk water transmission networks within the Emirate of Abu Dhabi.
The Woodhouse Partnership provided the core expertise for the introduction of PAS 55 / ISO 55000 to Transco over a 3-year period, achieving the first utility certification of an asset management system in the Gulf region. A further 3-year assistance program was provided to senior management and leadership in updating and extending the plan.
A systematic review of existing capabilities and maturity in Asset Management (across both water and electricity network operations).
Development of a Gap analysis and roadmap for a 3-year improvement programme, leading to independent certification against the PAS 55 standard for optimal management of physical assets (first such utility certification in the Middle East).
Implementation workstreams included
A strong theme throughout the project was the knowledge transfer and engagement of Transco staff in developing their own solutions, integrating and aligning their (previously silo’ed) functions and establishing a clear line of sight between corporate priorities and day-to-day personal activities. The effectiveness of this approach is best illustrated by the feedback of project sponsors and participants:
