The Buried Asset Management Institute – International (BAMI-I) is thrilled to announce the renewed support of BrainDrip, LLC, a pioneering force in hydrogen systems development and asset management solutions, for the 2024 Global Buried Asset Management Congress (GBAMC). This marks BrainDrip’s second consecutive year as a major sponsor of the GBAMC, demonstrating their unwavering commitment to advancing the field of buried asset management.
BrainDrip’s generous sponsorship is instrumental in facilitating the GBAMC Scholarship Program, which provides 25 professionals from municipalities and utilities with full congress registration and accommodation. This initiative empowers individuals working at the forefront of public infrastructure management to access cutting-edge knowledge and contribute to a more sustainable future.
“BAMI-I is incredibly grateful for BrainDrip’s continued partnership and their dedication to fostering the next generation of buried asset management leaders,” says Wei Liao, Executive Director at BAMI-I. “Their support has been vital in making the GBAMC a truly accessible and impactful event for professionals across the sector.”
BrainDrip’s commitment to innovation aligns perfectly with BAMI-I’s mission to promote excellence in buried asset management. Their recent development of a groundbreaking full-scale pipeline and pressure vessel permeation test apparatus exemplifies their dedication to pushing technological boundaries and providing practical solutions for the industry.
The 2024 GBAMC will be held November 14-16 at the Omni Severin Hotel in Indianapolis, Indiana. This premier event will bring together experts and innovators to explore the latest advancements in buried asset management, fostering collaboration and knowledge sharing across the sector.
We look forward to BrainDrip’s participation in Panel #2
This panel will explore innovative solutions for energy decarbonization, focusing on transitioning to cleaner energy sources, improving efficiency, and reducing carbon emissions. Key topics include the repurposing of existing pipelines for faster, safer, and more cost-effective infrastructure adaptation, and the role of asset management in modernizing both underground and above-ground systems like pipelines and grids. Additionally, we will delve into the Health and Risk Monitoring System for Buried Asset Management, which plays a crucial role in ensuring the longevity and safety of critical infrastructure, while minimizing environmental impact. The panel will also discuss cross-industry collaboration and long-term sustainability, addressing how sectors can work together to support a low-carbon future. Challenges such as opposition to combustion-based solutions will also be addressed.
