Arbrium — infrastructure asset intelligence

For infrastructure asset owners and their supply chain

Infrastructure asset intelligence, connected.

Connect asset data, inspections and works across systems, projects and teams.

Bring infrastructure information together, improve its quality, identify relationships between assets and projects, and turn changing asset data into useful operational intelligence.

Better data

Every inspection confirms, corrects or adds to the record, with provenance.

Connected assets

One consistent model for assets from many sources and suppliers.

Relational intelligence

See what each asset affects, across projects and teams.

Coordinated delivery

Spot the work that belongs together before anyone is on site.

The problem

Infrastructure isn't organised into databases.

Your teams might be. Your assets aren't.

Registers are split by asset type, projects by contract and teams by discipline. Individual systems and projects may not expose the relationships between them. Arbrium is designed to.

  • TREE → BOUNDARYA tree can affect a boundary.
  • VEG → VRSVegetation can affect a vehicle restraint system.
  • DRN ← VEGDrainage work can require vegetation clearance.
  • PRJ-A ∩ PRJ-BDifferent projects may need the same access or traffic management.
  • Δ ONE ASSETA change to one asset can invalidate assumptions elsewhere.
The platform

Between your data and the systems you already use.

Arbrium doesn't ask every team or contractor to capture data in Arbrium, or to move everything into it. It takes in authorised infrastructure information from many sources, understands how it relates, improves it, and returns structured intelligence to the systems you already run.

Today, information moves in and out as files — GeoJSON, KML and Shapefile in; Shapefile, GeoJSON, CSV and Excel out — with read-only access for AI assistants. Live API connections and synchronisation are planned, and depend on each client's systems.

Arbrium does not need to own every asset record. It needs to understand the relationships between them.

How it works

Connect. Understand. Relate. Act. Exchange.

Better data, connected assets, relational intelligence and coordinated delivery — each step leaves the information more useful than it was. Each step shows what it does today.

  1. 01
    Connect

    Bring together authorised infrastructure information from multiple systems, suppliers, projects and inspection methods.

Relational asset intelligence

Most asset systems tell you what you own.

Arbrium helps you understand what those assets affect.

Vegetation, boundaries, drainage and restraint systems are often held in separate databases, by separate teams. The physical assets aren't separate. Arbrium suggests where one asset affects another — across asset types, projects and suppliers — with the evidence for each suggestion.

  1. 01A vegetation survey recommends felling T-882.
  2. 02F-104 is due for replacement on another project, 17 m away.
  3. 03Arbrium suggests the felling must come first, with the distance as evidence.
  4. 04The asset owner confirms it — and both are flagged as potential grouped work.

Arbrium identifies relationships worth investigating. Professionals decide what they mean.

Cross-project intelligence

See what individual projects cannot.

A supplier understands their own project. The asset owner needs to understand what all the authorised activity on the network means together — where projects meet, where work overlaps, and where one job should wait for another.

Candidates for discussion — nothing is confirmed or planned automatically.

Linked assets, today.

A tree that's coming down beside a fence on another project. A fence due for replacement under a tree that needs felling. Arbrium lists the assets linked across projects, so the asset owner and the surveyors can talk before anyone is on site.

  • Notify the other project when a tree near its boundary is coming down
  • Flag potential grouped work when the tree and the fence both need work
  • Measure the stretch of fence a falling tree could actually strike
  • Nothing is confirmed or planned automatically — the owner decides
Data quality & provenance

Better infrastructure data, in both directions.

Your data comes in as it is. Inspections and project activity confirm, correct or add to it — with the supplied value, the new value, who changed it and why kept side by side. Improved information goes back in your own references.

Specialised intelligence

Intelligence with a purpose.

Arbrium isn't "AI-powered" for its own sake. Relational intelligence comes from structured data, spatial analysis and relationship rules — with AI assisting where it helps, and a professional deciding.

Most of these are planned; today AI drafts Arbrium Air assessments for review. AI never makes the engineering decision.

When the infrastructure changes, the intelligence can change with it.

Relationships aren't a one-off report. When an asset changes, the part of the picture it touches can be worked out again.

Steps 3–6 already run when an asset or a piece of work changes inside Arbrium. Doing the same for data mastered in other systems is planned.

Solutions

Any network. Any asset owner.

Roads, railways, utility corridors, parks and estates all have trees, vegetation and boundaries — and the same problem of work that affects other work. Arbrium is in use on live motorway corridors today, and works the same way on any network.

Controlled sharing. Clear provenance.

One infrastructure picture with many contributors only works if everyone can see where information came from — and only what they're allowed to.

01

Organisation separation

Each organisation's data is kept apart. Nothing is shared with another organisation unless it's granted.

02

Role-based access

Admins, surveyors, contractors, pilots, reviewers and clients each see and do only what their role allows.

03

Owner access, project by project

Asset owners get access to the programmes delivered for them — granted per project.

04

The owner decides

Surveyors can suggest that two assets are linked. Only the asset owner confirms it.

05

Audit history

Every survey edit and asset correction is timestamped and attributed, with the original value kept.

06

Provenance

Every relationship records whether a person or a rule created it, the evidence, and who confirmed it.

07

Your data, exportable

Full export at any time — British National Grid Shapefile, GeoJSON, CSV, Excel and photo packs.

08

Dedicated onboarding

A named team to help you migrate existing data and train your surveyors.
