The "Bridges & Highways Engineering and Maintenance Summit 2018" conference has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The 2nd Bridges & Highways Asia Summit 2018 will return with the aim of establishing the benchmarks of such objectives, as well as accelerating industry growth by bringing project owners and bridges & highway development/program leaders together, sharing & connecting their knowledge, best practices, and development visions

The summit will be the leading global summit for public and private leaders to share the technical and managerial challenges overcome through case studies of world-renowned projects, megaprojects especially in the APAC region. Public ministry/departments/agencies for highways, urban development, public works, national development as well as private contractors and consultants will discuss topics including traffic planning, socio-economic analyses, innovative precast segmental infrastructure, asset management & strengthening, maintenance needs reduction.

Major case studies highlighted throughout the summit will include China's HZMB project, Malaysia's 2nd Penang Bridge Project, Indonesia's 5-year Strategic Planning for Highways 2019-2024.

Key Topics of Discussion:

  • Traffic analyses and socio-economic benefit studies in bridges & highways construction planning
  • Challenges in site investigation, geographical and geological characteristics of development sites
  • Structural and non-structural sustainability of infrastructure
  • Project planning & practices that maximise effectiveness in cross-party communications and coordination
  • Precast segmental bridges materials and construction methodology
  • Long-span and cable-stayed bridge construction challenges & methodology
  • Considerations in construction cost-effectiveness in bridges and highways development
  • Considerations for minimising maintenance needs and whole life-cycle costs
  • Asset management strategies for maximised asset life
  • Maintenance methodologies for structural strengthening
  • Seismic and structural design challenges and case studies
  • Innovations and Methodology in maintenance inspection and infrastructural improvement strategies
  • Construction risks and delays
  • Formulation of systematic maintenance planning including suitable repair works and cost estimation based on condition assessment
  • Value engineering in bridges & highways projects
  • Issues with rehabilitation of bridges and highways infrastructure
  • Project financing and institutional issues in national highways planning

Benefits of Attending:

  • Network with global experts whose knowledge spans across understanding of latest methodologies and practices in developing all types of bridges
  • Extend and maximise bridge & highway infrastructure's and assets' lifespan
  • Optimise construction costs and calculable reduction in lifecycle costs
  • Understand institutional, political, social, financial, contractual and engineering risks associated with project management and minimise delays
  • Develop bridges and highways that enable sustainable traffic, public transportation objectives and compatible with increased traffic volumes
  • Hear global decision-makers as they overcame engineering challenges with precast segmental, long-span and/or stayed cable bridges
  • Handle traffic and engineering challenges in highways capacity enhancement
  • Standardise construction and asset management practices and optimise GIS data management
