Ensuring ageing transport infrastructure is maintained safely is a complex challenge and needs advanced structural engineering expertise. The implications of an asset needing repair or replacement are vast and wide-reaching.

Sessions will focus on best practice in assessment, diagnostics, monitoring and strengthening to extend the life of existing infrastructure. Topics will be explored through a mix of case studies, technical presentations and group discussion. 

The programme features presentations on:

• Inspection of tunnels using high resolution photography and lasers
• Using digital technology and machine learning to redefine inspections
• Structural reliability and probability-based assessment
• Sophisticated structural analysis methods to maximise retention of existing railway gantries
• Managing Cast Iron Assets – innovative and alternative solutions 
• Case studies: rehabilitation of post-tensioned box girder bridges

The conference will take place as a hybrid event. Delegates can register to attend in-person at the Institution’s London headquarters or online and enjoy the same opportunities for networking and interaction.

Who should attend?

• Practicing structural engineers primarily working on bridges and infrastructure projects
• Asset and estate managers
• Contractors and consultants
