Centre for Infrastructure Engineering and Management
The mission of the Centre for Infrastructure Engineering and Management is to optimise the life cycle performance of civil infrastructure systems through product innovation and process integration.
The primary aim of the Centre is to capitalise on the collective expertise of a highly qualified group of engineers so as to provide practical solutions and answers to the diverse challenges associated with the creation and operation of civil infrastructure systems such as:
- buildings
- roads
- bridges
- marine facilities
The Centre has two Research Programs: Infrastructure Engineering and Infrastructure Management. The Infrastructure Engineering program focuses on the technical aspects of infrastructure systems, whereas the Infrastructure Management program focuses attention on the more managerial and strategic issues concerning the operation of such systems. Both programs are strongly inter-related with a number of apparent and critical synergies existing between them.
Our research focus has the following three major objectives:
- improved engineering design methods;
- advanced construction techniques and technologies; and
- enhanced decision-making managerial processes.
