SYNOPSIS

Infrastructure plays an important role in forging resilience, sustainability and liveability in cities. As we look to the future, engineers and designers have a responsibility to anticipate the changes underway and have a duty to ensure the infrastructure we build today withstands the test of time. What are some considerations to take to ensure that the right approaches and solutions are used in the design and construction process?  This webinar will share the project experience gained from Singapore’s Thomson Line and focus on the solutions used in its design and construction processes.
