Asset Data Management Manual (ADMM) and other management and maintenance guides
The Asset Data Management Manual (ADMM) gives the requirements for creating and managing data for us or on our behalf. This page also contains other management and maintenance guidance that we no longer update, but which applies to some of our contracts
Asset Data Management Manual (ADMM)
The ADMM contains the asset data requirements we need in order to:
- maintain the asset data necessary for our safe and efficient operation
- achieve our corporate and asset management objectives
Anyone creating, maintaining or using data for us or on our behalf should follow the ADMM. It is revised and published regularly to accommodate changes and expansion to our business needs.

Change request submission form
Please send all change requests, feedback or queries to assetinformationqueries@nationalhighways.co.uk.
Due to the approaching expiry of Asset Support Contracts, we've removed any requirements related to them from the ADMM. Access to these requirements is only permitted through earlier versions of the ADMM.
If you need to see earlier versions of the ADMM containing these requirements, please send us a request. We will expect you to explain the reasons why you need to see earlier versions.
