CSIC is launching a new series of short, discussion-inviting articles – the Smart Infrastructure Blog. The informative and thought-provoking blogs will be written by members of the CSIC team, partners and industry experts to showcase opinions and ideas from the forefront of smart infrastructure and construction.
The Smart Infrastructure Blog will feature the latest developments and ideas shaping our industry and society. CSIC works at a number of strategic levels across industry, policy and academia to transform infrastructure and construction through smarter information – using data from real performance to enable better decision-making for increasing efficiency and productivity, reducing carbon, improving resilience and preserving resources. By collaborating with its 31 Partners and the wider industry, CSIC is able to accelerate the process of implementation of research outputs, delivering value to stakeholders by improving margins, reducing costs and carbon, enhancing returns, managing risk and extending the productive life of assets.
“The work of CSIC is collaborative to the core and the Smart Infrastructure Blog will reflect the many ideas and developments that are currently shaping the smart infrastructure space,” said Director of CSIC Dr Jennifer Schooling OBE. “Our industry is recovering from the effects of the pandemic and, while the consequences have been devastating for many, the crisis brings opportunity to reset, innovate and change the way we deliver, manage and operate infrastructure and embed low carbon, low waste outcomes into projects. Working together towards these shared goals will enable society to function better and the people who depend upon the services delivered by our infrastructure to flourish.”
