Trevor Vick Publishes Persistent Infrastructure Identity (PIID) Framework, Establishing a New Digital Identity Layer for the Built Environment

The PIID framework addresses fragmented infrastructure records by assigning globally unique identifiers to assets that operate for 50 to 100 years, enabling lifecycle continuity.

  • On March 8, 2026, Trevor Vick, founder of UMIP Inc., announced the White Paper on Persistent Infrastructure Identity in Dallas, proposing a model for globally persistent digital identifiers.
  • Because physical infrastructure assets usually lack persistent digital identities, modern infrastructure systems generate vast data, causing fragmented records and duplicated data creation across asset lifecycles.
  • The white paper details an Infrastructure Identity Registry responsible for issuing and maintaining globally persistent identifiers, guiding architectural and lifecycle states, as part of the PIID framework.
  • PIID aims to enable lifecycle continuity across systems by improving interoperability among design, construction, operational and risk-management systems to reduce duplicated data and boost visibility.
  • Given many assets last 50 to 100 years, the PIID framework emphasizes governance and lifecycle-state structures to sustain persistent identity amid ownership and technology changes.
