Konferenz

Bridges – Challenges of Planning, Design and Construction

Tauschen Sie sich mit den internationalen Key-Playern der Brückenbauindustrie aus und erfahren Sie, wie diese die Zukunft des Brückenbaus einschätzen.
Profitieren Sie von Vorträgen zu wegweisenden Brückenbauprojekten aus aller Welt.
Nutzen Sie Network Sessions wie z. B. World Cafés und die exklusive Abendveranstaltung, um Ihr Netzwerk auf internationaler Ebene auszubauen.

Die internationale VDI-Konferenz „Bridges – Challenges of Planning, Design and Construction“ in Rotterdam ist der zentrale Branchentreffpunkt für die Top-Player der Brückenbauindustrie. Hier erfahren Sie aus erster Hand, welche Entwicklungen und Trends die Zukunft des Brückenbaus bestimmen. Praxisnahe Berichte von internationalen Brückenbauprojekten zeigen Ihnen anschaulich, welche z. T. länderspezifischen Herausforderungen bestehen und wie Sie diese erfolgreich meistern.

Schwerpunkte: Digitalisierung und internationale Brückenbauprojekte

Wie wichtig der sorgfältige Brückenbau und die Instandhaltung sind, zeigt nicht zuletzt das mahnende Beispiel der eingestürzten Morandi-Brücke in Genua. Die VDI-Konferenz thematisiert daher sowohl die klassischen Herausforderungen im Brückenbau, als auch die neuen Chancen und Risiken, die sich aus der zunehmenden Digitalisierung ergeben. Angesprochen werden u. a. die Themen Building Information Modeling (BIM), Big Data und „Self-monitoring Bridges“, die für ein Plus an Sicherheit sorgen sollen.

Diskutiert werden auf der internationalen VDI-Konferenz „Bridges – Challenges of Planning, Design and Construction“ neben dem Einsatz neuer Technologien wie z. B. Drohnen zur Brückeninspektion auch die Vor- und Nachteile neuer Baumaterialen und die besonderen Herausforderungen von Leichtbaubrücken. Dabei bieten die zahlreichen Praxisbeispiele führender internationaler Unternehmen wertvolle Orientierungshilfen für die Realisierung eigener Brückenbauprojekte.
