Resilience and Adaptation to Extreme Weather Conditions in the Highways Sector
14:30 - 14:55
Maintenance
This presentation will give an overview of the new CIHT project, supported by the new National Hub for Decarbonised, Adaptable, and Resilient Transport Infrastructures (DARe), on resilience and adaptation to extreme weather events of the UK road infrastructure, focusing particularly on:
- the challenges posed by ageing structures and the increasing frequency and severity of extreme weather events.
- good practice of design, implementation and construction processes that allow the road infrastructure to respond to emergencies, recover asset conditions and reduce future risks associated with extreme weather events.
- building a call for investing in maintaining, renewing and adapting our roads to extreme weather.
