14.50 | Digitally resilient infrastructure: Ensuring future-health and operational continuity in connected landscapes
In an increasingly interconnected landscape, infrastructure owners and stakeholder face multifaceted challenges such as anticipating future risks like floods and natural disasters. This presentation delves into the critical role of digital strategies in ensuring resilience. This topic will be explored by looking at Airports as an example of smart urban infrastructure and mini connected city.

15.15 | Future proofing the full lifecycle of the region’s Water Infrastructure
Using case studies from the region, this session will demonstrate how digital technologies support the full lifecycle of water, wastewater and stormwater infrastructure, making it more efficient and resilient. In particular, how utilities, airports, campuses, developers, engineering consultants and contractors are using digital solutions to optimally design infrastructure, detect leakages, predict water demand, optimise pumping efficiency, properly size stormwater infrastructure and improve predictive maintenance. Extreme weather conditions have shed light on the importance of digitally enabling the resilience of infrastructure. This session will further discuss how digital workflows can be used to improve integrated flood risk management practices for owner/operators, planners, developers, and construction companies. Slavco Velickov, Industry Director, Water, Bentley Systems |
