Turn existing assets into future opportunities

Volatile markets, decarbonisation challenges, scarcity of capital and increased stakeholder pressures are driving the need for smarter capital investment and delivery decisions to build asset resilience and performance.

Whether it is debottlenecking or enhancing operations in the resources sector; water providers addressing ageing infrastructure, or transport agencies managing growing asset portfolios, today’s leaders must rethink sustaining capital and how to strategically reinvest in existing assets through planned or long-term programs.

Sustaining capital is not just about maintenance. The opportunity lies in deciding where to focus capital to optimise value and performance across large, complex asset portfolios. As priorities shift from building new assets to enhancing the performance of what’s already there, sustaining capital is a powerful lever for connecting assets to your strategy, managing risk, exploring options, and making informed trade-offs to unlock the full potential of your asset base.

Connecting assets to strategy to create and protect value

In today’s environment, asset-intensive organisations need to make decisions that balance risk and return while staying agile to anticipate asset transitions, renewals, or closures.

Aurecon’s sustaining capital framework supports this process, ensuring that sustaining capital programs are designed and delivered effectively and with a focus on:

Asset performance – Do the right work

Ensuring that every project and operation is aligned with the organisation’s strategic objectives. This means prioritising only the work that truly adds value, avoiding wasted capital on unnecessary activities.

Capital delivery – Do the work right

Delivering projects with a clear understanding of business outcomes, supported by robust scope definition and options analysis. This ensures fit-for-purpose, cost-effective solutions that create value, reduce risk and improve delivery efficiency.

Connected insights – Unlocking value

Business decisions enabled by an ecosystem that considers what value means to the organisation and a holistic approach to value that includes economic, licence to operate, organisational transformation, operational and safety considerations.
