People
Richard Culbertson, ALN Board of Directors, and ALN Senior Fellow, is helping stand up the ALN Gas Utility Asset Leadership Board to help focus on the many ways this industry can improve through the use of a structured approach to asset management. Unfortunately, improvements often come after tragic failures and ensure legal settlements. On March 3, the ALN Th@3 pm ET discussion will focus on an investment group that has sued a gas company that experienced a fatal failure that destroyed buildings and impacted 30,000 people. Mr. Culbertson will talk about suit and how the investment group is seeking recovery from damages caused by inferior management and requesting that management meet applicable standards of practice.

The magazine covers all infrastructure sectors, promotes best practice, covers legal and financing and more.

Available for free in PDF format, the 30-page document is an excellent document for those who are beginning their asset management journey.
