Public works professionals and engineers are navigating a new era of challenges as they plan, design, and maintain infrastructure that must perform under severe and increasingly unpredictable climate conditions. This live virtual program addresses how collaborative approaches, innovative designs, and data-driven analysis can elevate infrastructure resilience and long-term performance. Through compelling real-world case studies, participants will explore how severe weather and changing climate trends affected infrastructure systems and how agencies have adapted their design and construction approaches in response. These examples highlight practical lessons learned, design modifications, and construction decisions that address infrastructure degradation and improve future operations.
At the end of this session, participants will be able to:
- Identify key questions and decision-making frameworks that support resilient planning and design in response to severe and variable weather conditions.
- Evaluate resilient and sustainable design considerations, emerging construction practices, and technologies that address weather-related risks.
- Apply data-driven design and construction strategies to improve infrastructure durability and performance under changing weather conditions.
