supporting data-driven decisions for managing climate change and enhancing resilience
throughout the decade of planned construction. This approach ensures that infrastructure remains
sustainable and adaptable to future climate challenges.
“Resilient infrastructure starts with accurate data,” Sherrard explained, highlighting Fugro’s
advanced mapping, modelling, and monitoring technologies as critical tools in managing
stormwater and reducing flood risks.

In addition to her presentation, Sherrard participated in a panel discussion on post-flooding
infrastructure recovery. During the session, she outlined Fugro’s approach to assessing flood-
damaged infrastructure using both aerial and ground-based surveys. These data-driven techniques
enable authorities to prioritise repairs and rebuild with resilience in mind, ensuring that future
infrastructure can withstand the evolving climate challenges.

Reflecting on the event, Sherrard said: “Fugro’s comprehensive Geo-data services empower
governments and infrastructure developers to design with foresight. By leveraging these insights,
we can help build safer, more liveable cities that are prepared to thrive in the face of changing
weather patterns.”
