Our infrastructure, the foundation of our society, is aging – a phenomenon especially visible in industrialized countries like Europe and North America. The majority of our infrastructure, including key elements such as highway bridges, was built in the 1960s and 1970s. These structures are now nearing the end of their expected lifespan, presenting significant challenges and opportunities in the field of infrastructure maintenance.
In “Concretely,” we delve deep into the world of infrastructure maintenance. We discuss the urgent need to preserve and renew aging infrastructures, focusing on direct and indirect costs, the shortage of skilled workers, sustainability issues, and innovative solutions. The podcast sheds light on the challenges and opportunities arising from the need for comprehensive renewal and explores advanced technologies and methods that could be applied in the industry
We aim to strengthen not just the physical bridges but also the metaphorical bridges between various stakeholders in the construction industry. The podcast strives to provide a platform for open exchange of ideas, challenges, and solutions. Through conversations with experts from different fields – from entrepreneurs and engineers to scientists – we seek to break down silo thinking and create a collaborative environment for learning and innovation.
