Digital Handover — Digital Handover

The structured transfer of verified engineering, asset and operational information from project delivery into operations and maintenance systems.

Definition

Digital Handover is the controlled process of delivering complete, accurate and validated digital information required to safely operate and maintain a facility. It includes engineering documents, equipment data, asset hierarchies, commissioning records, inspection information and associated digital models transferred into operational information systems.

Why It Matters

Digital Handover improves operational readiness, reduces manual data entry, supports regulatory compliance and establishes high-quality asset information from the first day of operation.

In Practice

Successful Digital Handover requires defined data standards, validation processes, document control and governance to ensure that operational systems receive complete and trustworthy information.

Common Misuse

A Digital Handover encompasses the complete information transfer process, while a Data Handover Register tracks the individual deliverables required during that process.
