About David Hope

David Hope is a civil engineer and manager with 40 years experience in the water industry. Over the last 10 years he has practiced mainly as an independent consultant. Previously he worked  with Sydney Water, who provide water and sewerage services to four million people.  David held a range of senior managerial and technical positions, encompassing all aspects of policy, planning, construction, operations and maintenance.  He has been involved in many projects which cross the boundaries of technical and managerial disciplines.

 

As an independent consultant, David specialises in the managerial and technical aspects of Infrastructure undertakings.  He specialises in providing strategies where there are complex technical and technology issues, and the need to change organisations or cultures to effectively implement solutions; and in business justification and implementation strategies for technologies such as SCADA.  David calls on his network of expert independents and business contacts to provide the best possible mixture of resources and information to produce the best possible results for clients.

 

David was awarded Life Membership of the Australian Water Association in 2009. He is a former President of the NSW Branch of the Association; and, formerly a Federal Board member and Federal Vice-President with responsibility for Conferences and Publications, including Water Journal.  He was the Deputy Chair of the 1995 and 2007 Ozwater Convention & Exhibition.

David Hope's CV

My Point of View : www.world.without.water provides a peek into one possible future for the water industry - keeping in mind that such predictions are mostly way off the mark! (for web browser version, click here)

A brief history of assets - white elephants of the future? looks back at the past and whimsically ponders the future. Will a technology-driven paradigm shift result in assets owned by water utilities becoming white elephants, with the utilities being driven out of business (for web browser version, click here).

Sydney Water Asset Management Strategy & Case Study covers the development of an Asset Management strategy at the Sydney Water Board. It includes a case study of the resulting organisational changes in Operations and Maintenance.
