Digital, Infratech and Smart Cities
Infratech solutions faster, smarter, and better
‘Infratech’ is defined as any emerging technology (material, machine, or digital technology) applied at any point in the infrastructure lifecycle with the view to achieving one or more of the impacts listed below:
- Improving the quality and efficiency of infrastructure across the lifecycle, reducing costs, and reducing the time for design and construction to get to infrastructure operation faster.
- Enhancing economic, environmental, and social value through infrastructure (i.e. how can infrastructure perform better).
- Reshaping infrastructure demand and creating new markets.
- Enabling infrastructure to decarbonize and transition to net zero.
Other terms that may be used to describe infratech include: ‘smart infrastructure’, ‘digitalization’, ‘digital engineering’, ‘modern methods of construction’, and ‘cyber-physical systems’. Sometimes, infratech is recognized by the names of specific infratech solutions like: IoT (internet of things), digital twins, AI (artificial intelligence), and BIM (building information modeling). The solutions enabled by infratech are often part of ‘smart cities’ or ‘cyber-physical systems’.
