The use of sophisticated machine control technology is integral to delivering high quality and productivity for concrete paving operations

Accurately measuring road network conditions in real time requires rugged and durable mobile sensor technology, writes Rose Parisi* Monitoring road conditions is critical to performing efficient and effective maintenance that reduces risks posed by hazardous driving conditions. This is most critical during winter. Road weather information systems (RWIS) help support road maintenance decision-making through the measurement of atmosphere and pavement conditions. However, due to the static location and

Trimble is offering an updated version of its real-time monitoring software, the 4D Control package. This Version 5.0 upgrade offers new features that allow users to streamline real-time structural monitoring system deployment as well as simplify the connection to geotechnical sensors. Trimble 4D Control software allows project stakeholders to monitor critical infrastructure such as dams and bridges along with buildings surrounding construction sites and tunnels.

The annual Year in Infrastructure Awards 2019 run by software specialist Bentley Systems saw a record number of entries, with 571 submissions from 60 countries. Competition was tough, with three finalists being selected by panels of expert judges for the wide range of entry categories.
