Survey specialist 6202 Fugro is setting out plans for an upcoming highways seminar, which will be held in July 2013 in Birmingham. The firm has been involved with the Developments in Pavement Assessment conference for the last 12 years and is now relaunching the event with a broader view to include all elements of the highway network. The 13th edition of the one day conference is now being retitled Developments in Highways Assessment (DIHA). The event is aimed at highway engineers, network and asset managers, the new look event takes place on 16 July 2013 at the Midlands Engineering Centre, Birmingham (UK). Fugro says that the conference will include its usual focus on policy and trends in pavement assessment, but will include more discussion of international developments in highway structures, roadside inventory, drainage and geotechnics. Mark Thomas, infrastructure services manager of 2929 Fugro Aperio, said: “DIHA’s broader perspective is a logical step with the growing integration of asset condition and inventory surveys across all aspects of highways infrastructure.”

The conference attracts speakers from local authorities, the 2309 Highways Agency, leading consultancies and data collection specialists. More details can be found at www.fugro-aperio.com where 2013 speakers and papers will be confirmed in the forthcoming programme.
