How Climate Change Impacts Precipitation Patterns and the Built Environment

How Climate Change Impacts Precipitation Patterns and the Built Environment

 

The impact of precipitation due to climate change on infrastructure is significant and far-reaching. As the climate continues to change, extreme weather events such as heavy rainfall and flooding are becoming more frequent and intense, putting infrastructure at risk of damage and deterioration.

One of the most significant impacts of increased precipitation on infrastructure is the increased risk of flooding. Urban infrastructure such as roads, bridges, and buildings are not designed to withstand the levels of rainfall that can occur during extreme weather events, leading to damage and in some cases, destruction. This poses a risk to public safety and results in substantial economic costs for repairs and rebuilding.

In addition, increased precipitation can lead to the erosion of soil and degradation of land, which can affect the stability of infrastructure such as railway lines, pipelines, and power transmission lines. This can result in disruptions to services and transportation and increased maintenance costs.

Furthermore, higher precipitation levels can also lead to the deterioration of infrastructure materials such as concrete and steel, leading to increased maintenance and replacement costs.

In conclusion, the impact of precipitation due to climate change on infrastructure is a significant challenge that must be addressed through proactive planning, investment in resilient infrastructure, and effective management of water resources. Failure to do so will lead to further risks to public safety and economic stability.

The Rise of Digital Twins: Transforming Infrastructure to Create a Greener Future

Here’s Why Investors are Starting to Pay Attention to Infrastructure Digital Twins

By Steve Cockerell, Industry Marketing Director, Rail & Transit, Bentley Systems

Continuing from the previous post about Here’s Why Investors are Starting to Pay Attention to Infrastructure Digital Twins…

The Rise of Digital Twins

Over the last few years, there has been a surge of interest in the potential role of digital twins, particularly in how the technology is transforming how infrastructure is planned, developed, built, and operated. So much so that current digital techniques, including digital twins, are at the center of an emergent government-industry reform effort, and have been cited in major papers such as the Construction Playbook, the Transforming Infrastructure Performance Road Map to 2030, and the Gemini Papers.

Since the CDBB program’s inception in 2017, there has been a significant improvement in the quality of conversation among industry, academia, and the public sector. Discussions have resulted in a deeper understanding of the applications and benefits of infrastructure digital twins, as well as increased investment in the technology, but can the same be true of negotiations between the infrastructure business and the investors, insurers, banks, and other organizations that supply a large portion of their funding and finance?

After speaking with a diverse group of investors, the report concludes that the finance community can leverage the potential of digital twins for infrastructure to support investment decisions, and in doing so promote better outcomes from the infrastructure in which they are investing. Furthermore, by playing a larger role in the digital transformation of infrastructure, investors can help enterprises, people, and the environment, Alexandra Bolton stating that she believed “the finance community has a huge opportunity to use their influence not only to create these lower risk, higher profit investments, but to create a greener, fairer, safer future.”
