Please note that this webinar will be held from 19.00-20.30 HK time.
Connecting people and communities with efficient infrastructure is a fundamental basis for ensuring the future prosperity and development of our societies. Respect for the resources and environment, as well as the assessment of the effects of climate change, are important considerations in developing sustainable solutions.
Significant progress has been made in the technology for sea-crossing infrastructure, enabling longer water crossings while still being economical to build and operate. The boundaries of the technology have been pushed significantly in recent years with projects like the new world-record suspension bridge 1915 Çanakkale Bridge currently under construction in Turkey and the ongoing feasibility studies for Tsing Lung Bridge (part of Route 11) in Hong Kong SAR. On the Ferry Free E39 project in Norway, the conditions are so challenging that technology from many different areas needs to be combined in innovative ways. One of the most effective solutions to overcome constructing foundations on more than 500 m of water depth is to adopt floating structures to support the roadway.
This presentation will look deeper into some of the ongoing state-of-the-art projects within sea-crossings offering insights from the engineering design process. The presentation will also touch upon digitalization and how new digital tools are being implemented in developing solutions for tomorrow's sustainable societies.
