Ingetec supports local authorities in asset management

Maintaining infrastructure throughout its lifecycle to optimize performance and safety

Asset management for public authorities involves carrying out a comprehensive diagnostic of an infrastructure or a portfolio of structures to establish a tailored maintenance and upkeep plan for their entire lifecycle. Our goal is to ensure user safety and to preserve functionality to the highest standard.

To achieve this mission, we draw on a wide range of complementary technical expertise, supported by a suite of tools:

• Geomatics – to collect, map, analyze, and integrate geographic data

• Network mapping – to detect and locate utility networks owned by operators and managers (e.g., gas, telecom)

• Topography – to measure and map these structures using detailed plans or charts

• Video inspection – to visualize the condition of assets and identify any deterioration

Asset management: addressing today’s challenges to build better strategies for tomorrow

Over the past 30 years, the asset base of local authorities (municipalities, departments, and regions) has grown significantly in value. This portfolio is highly diverse — encompassing not only real estate, but also utility networks, roadways, and public structures. Yet, many local authorities lack precise knowledge of their assets, limiting their ability to effectively plan and manage them. The report “Le patrimoine des collectivités territoriales”  highlights the importance of understanding one’s asset base to optimize its use and invest in the rehabilitation of existing infrastructure.

At Ingetec, our role is to guide public authorities and private stakeholders in understanding the value of investing today to maintain and protect their assets for the future.

We start by offering utility detection and mapping services, which, in line with the latest regulations, involve identifying and geolocating all types of networks. This forms the foundation for creating an accurate network map — a critical first step before any maintenance strategy can be developed.

Mapping of overhead, underground, and underwater networks: Ingetec’s expertise

The French National Environmental Commitment Act, known as “Grenelle 2,” introduced by Article L. 554‑2 of the Code de l’Environnement, requires the inventory of all overhead, underground, and underwater utility networks in France, along with the key information necessary to ensure the safe execution of construction works.

With the human and technical resources required, Ingetec provides support for non‑intrusive detection of existing networks and asset inventories. Ingetec maps the detected elements in various formats to meet your specifications — including GIS, BIM, and CMMS systems.

Ingetec has been certified by Bureau Veritas since January 1, 2018, and is a member of FNEDRE. To date, we have mapped over 2 million linear meters of utility networks.
