Raising smart bridge standards in 2022
Hamburg Port Authority owns the most sophisticated smart bridge in the world. Serving 30,000+ vehicles a day, we needed to safely extend its lifespan by a decade.
Regulation is in its infancy, but the shift to sensor agnostic, real-time data is here.
Led by the private sector, adoption of predictive analytics is accelerating as many of the world's bridges are nearing their intended expiry date, demanding asset owners' extra focus and budget.
There are three parts to streamline this workflow:
First, you need to configure smart hardware with your choice of sensors on location; then you need an open data management system; and finally, a living digital twin to make decisions.

We're working on new and aging bridges in multiple countries—we'll share our learnings via the email sign-up at the bottom.
36% of American bridges need repair or replacement.
Our former CEO Matti Kuivalainen, recently weighed in on the change in bridge maintenance and inspection behaviours (compared to Europe).
End-to-end solutions, from steel products to repair, are at the heart of the company's digital evolution into what we're calling Infrastructure Intelligence.
