Existing and Future Infrastructure
Performing multi-disciplinary fundamental and applied research with the aim of developing techniques, frameworks and prototypes for implementation into industry practice, for preserving existing infrastructure and conceiving the new generation of transport infrastructure.
A main research activity is Asset Management which provides a framework for optimising and implementing major decisions on the operation, maintenance, renewal and enhancement of assets to deliver safe and economic infrastructure.
