National Symposium on Building Resilient and Sustainable Highway Infrastructure

About this event

The National Symposium on Building Resilient and Sustainable Highway Infrastructure serves as a premier national-level technical forum dedicated to advancing highway infrastructure excellence. This event gathers a diverse group of stakeholders, including policymakers, highway engineers, planners, researchers, academicians, and industry professionals. These participants come together to explore and deliberate on innovative strategies essential for developing road infrastructure that is robust, climate-resilient, and environmentally sustainable. The symposium is particularly timely, as it aims to address the pressing challenges posed by climate change, increasing traffic demands, extreme weather events, and resource constraints.Key areas of focus at the symposium include resilient pavement and bridge design, utilization of innovative and recycled materials, implementation of low-carbon construction technologies, disaster risk reduction strategies, and the integration of digital tools for asset management. Additionally, the event emphasizes lifecycle cost analysis as a crucial component in sustainable infrastructure development. Participants will have the opportunity to connect and collaborate with a diverse assembly of policymakers, engineers, researchers, and industry leaders. The symposium also aims to showcase cutting-edge technologies and sustainable practices, aligning infrastructure development with overarching sustainability and development goals. The event is hosted at the National Institute of Technology in Rourkela, India, providing an ideal backdrop for engaging discussions and knowledge sharing among professionals committed to advancing highway infrastructure.
