NTRO will be represented on the International Association for Bridge Maintenance and Safety (IABMAS) executive following the recent 2024 IABMAS Conference in Denmark.
NTRO bridges and structures expert Nigel Powers has been elected to represent Australia on the IABMAS Executive Committee - the governing committee for the association across all aspects internationally.
The committee champions research and development into bridge maintenance, safety, risk, resilience, sustainability and management across the world.
Nigel – NTRO’s National Leader, Structures and Certification - and several NTRO colleagues presented successfully at the Conference in Copenhagen.
Nigel gave a keynote presentation: Innovations in Bridge Management in Australia to rise to the challenges of today and tomorrow.
NTRO’s Regina Sampaio presented on the behaviour and management of post-tensioned girder halving joints, while colleague Riley Daley presented on enhancing safety on timber bridges and the feasibility and risk assessment of bridge barrier implementation.
