How do you develop an intelligent approach to infrastructure that ensures public safety while reducing risk and cost?

Much of the world’s civil infrastructure has reached —or exceeded —its useful life span, leading to a multi-trillion dollar backlog of needed improvements globally. It’s a critical economic growth initiative to ensure the continuity of daily life for citizens, and a daily struggle for infrastructure professionals.

Infrastructure executives across the spectrum struggle with how to modernize infrastructure and merge the newest digital intelligence with their time-tested engineering know-how. They also need more information to understand how technology investments can scale to create synergies across the monitoring, management and maintenance processes for their assets, so they can understand the whole lifecycle of their assets (structural health, predict failures, and prioritize investments).
