Supporting the resilience of infrastructure systems
This final event of CIRIA’s Infrastructure Resilience series will launch a CIRIA review paper on infrastructure resilience and an action plan to raise awareness and develop further research in resilience practices. The event will be supported by a series of narratives from representatives of CIRIA’s Infrastructure Resilience Focus Group.
Background
CIRIA’s Infrastructure Resilience series was advised by a steering group of selected CIRIA members who collectively make up the Infrastructure and Resilience Focus Group (IFRG), with representatives including Gatwick Airport; Network Rail; Highways England; CH2M; Black & Veatch; HR Wallingford; Arup; Atkins; Temple Group and Mott MacDonald. The group also comprised and engaged with representatives from the Natural Hazards Partnership.
The IFRG explored the various approaches to implementing resilience measures to infrastructure in response to climate change risks and impacts and identified the issues, opportunities and good practices surrounding infrastructure resilience. By working with the IFRG and providing a platform for leading industry practitioners to share knowledge throughout the Infrastructure Resilience series CIRIA are now better placed to propose areas of further research in the years ahead.
