Vision Statement
A regional collaboration for concrete structures, promoting holistic RESILIENT and SUSTAINABLE infrastructure solutions with a focus on efficient highway and pedestrian bridges.
Goals
Increasing RESILIENCE (robust strength, durability, long service-life, and dynamic adaptability) using SUSTAINABLE (dynamic adaption, lower embodied energy and GHG/CO2 emissions, incorporating recycled, repurposed and upscaled materials) structures, for EFFECTIVE & EFFICIENT (materials, fabrication, hauling, construction and design practices) solutions considering mature and emerging technologies.
