Resilience: The Key to Sustainable Infrastructure
January 29 @ 4:10 pm - 5:00 pm CST
Location: Frisco 1-5
Speaker: Trygve Hoff, P.E., ENV SP – American Concrete Pipe Association
Presentation Description:
Resilience stands as the bedrock of sustainable infrastructure, ensuring longevity and adaptability amid mounting challenges. In the face of climate change, natural disasters, and manmade disasters, resilient systems can withstand shocks, recover swiftly, and continue functioning efficiently. Integrating resilient designs, materials, and strategies safeguards investments, and while minimizing environmental impact. After all, specifying a resilient product that will remain in use for 100+ years is significantly more sustainable than using one that must be remade and replaced multiple times.
