Mitigating risks to critical infrastructure assets

The capital costs associated with new infrastructure projects demands a rigorous approach towards long term maintenance and monitoring . These considerations need to be factored in during the initial construction phase, especially with regard to automating inspection procedures; these can include built in sensors, visual inspection systems drone & satellite surveillance and data acquisition programmes.

Key questions include:

How projects should be designed with automated inspection programmes in view?
What are the latest monitoring technologies available and how can these be integrated into existing maintenance programmes?
How is the workflow best managed to ensure on time and on budget maintenance?
What are the skill sets required for the seamless phasing in of new solutions?
How can improvements in monitoring capabilities assist in extending the lifecycle of individual assets?

11:45am - 12:30pm

Mastering the processes in critical infrastructure planning

From road and rail to ports and airports large projects demand assiduous attention to cost control and seamless workflow integration between multiple parties.
With a fast flow of new technologies looking to fast forward the digitalisation agenda

The session looks to discuss:
*Planning for roles for new technologies including AI and Quantum computing.
*The impact of digital twins and visualisation in enabling the execution of large-scale projects
*Ways of executing data exchange between multiple stakeholders and how to incorporate ever changing technologies and applications.
