• Advanced imaging technology, historically used in energy sectors, now supports the full lifecycle (design, monitoring, maintenance) of marine assets, including bridges.

• Integrated sensors like Sonar, LiDAR, and cameras on vessels and drones generate accurate 3D point cloud data, delivered to asset managers via the cloud.

• Case studies, including Rochester Bridge, will demonstrate processing tools and how clients use this data in asset management workflows.

The TEN/20 (aka Pecha Kucha) is a stand-alone session comprising mini presentations delivered at a blistering pace by exhibitors and delegates from local authorities and academia.

Presentations are vetted by the organisers of Bridges in partnership with ADEPT.

To suggest a presentation subject, email conferences@hgluk.com.

The deadline for submissions is 14 February.

• This case study details a live trial deploying SM:ART retrofit sensors on bridge infrastructure with Northern Ireland's Department for Infrastructure (DfI).

• The system uses embedded multi-parameter sensing and AI-driven analysis to provide early warnings of deterioration, supporting evidence-based maintenance and reducing life-cycle costs.

• Key insights, lessons learned from the first installations, and the potential implications for wider adoption across bridge networks will be presented.

• Climate Resilience & Biodiversity: Assessing carbon impacts on bridge resilience and integrating nature-positive solutions.

• Circular Economy & Lifespan: Measuring material circularity, minimising waste, and analysing the key factors influencing bridge lifetime.

• Social Value & Holistic Sustainability: Maximising social contributions (connectivity, jobs) and using frameworks like BREEAM to link all themes.
