The UK needs to embrace technological innovations to meet future demand for safe, efficient operation of transport networks and infrastructure where engineered earthworks are threatened by climate change, ageing and increased operational stresses. Key challenges include reduction of lifetime costs of infrastructure using adaptive maintenance strategies underpinned by intelligent asset monitoring systems. 

What role does proactive monitoring play in the adaptation of a truly resilient network? At this event the British Geological Survey (BGS), ITM-Soil Ltd. and Geotechnical Observations Ltd. will showcase latest and emerging technologies with the potential to provide near real-time information on asset condition to support development of future maintenance strategies. The chairman of the Geotechnical Asset Owners Forum (GAOF) will present their perspective on this issue and you will have the opportunity to discuss your needs and approaches to survey and monitoring.

This workshop will provide participants with an opportunity to exchange knowledge and ideas in an informal way, to understand the challenges facing infrastructure stakeholders and the opportunities presented by these latest innovations.
