Beneath the Surface: Precision Scour Risk with CFD and Real-Time Monitoring

11:30 - 11:50

Network Rail manages thousands of bridges over water, where scour can develop unseen below the waterline. Iain Fox explains how computational fluid dynamics and real-time monitoring are giving a much more precise picture of scour risk.

  • How CFD modelling improves understanding of flow around piers and abutments
  • Real-time monitoring as an early warning during flood events
  • How a more precise risk picture supports better targeted intervention
