Like all infrastructure, High Speed 2 Ltd (HS2) needs to be climate resilient so it can function in a future where there will be warmer and wetter winters, hotter and drier summers, and more extreme weather. Without resilience measures, climate change could affect HS2 through increased construction programme, network performance impacts and service delays with associated costs, as well as affecting staff and passengers. HS2 policy is to build a “climate-resilient railway”, taking part in the collective endeavour to combat climate change by setting ambitious carbon reduction targets for HS2’s overall operations to be net zero from 2035 and embedding adaptation measures to increase resilience to climate change. HS2 is one of the first projects to take a holistic approach to incorporating climate change into planning, design and construction. Learning from HS2’s approach is set out in this report. The key outputs of this report are how climate resilience thinking has been embedded into all project stages; how bespoke and innovative processes have fed into industry leading best practice, reporting and guidance; as well as describing climate-resilient design solutions. It is vital to integrate climate resilience and adaptation into infrastructure projects now to ensure infrastructure is prepared for our changing climate.","PeriodicalId":54573,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers-Civil Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2024-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140314404","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Long-term sea level rise could have devastating impacts on coastal communities. In the last 20 years there has been steady progress in embedding climate adaptation within engineering practice, but the climate is changing more rapidly than the engineering sector is responding. This short piece outlines the challenges and progress in adapting to climate change, and the tools available for engineers to act, now, to enable infrastructure resilience within our rapidly changing climate. Engineers can use sector guidance and international (ISO) and British standards to plan, design, refurbish, maintain and operate infrastructure under a changing climate. There are tools to build organisational capacity, so that key decision makers are aware of the need to address climate change and have the leadership to access expertise and implement change. The ICE and fellow engineering institutions must promote climate awareness and capacity building both for students in higher education and at a strategic level within their membership.","PeriodicalId":54573,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers-Civil Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2024-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140313919","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although infrastructure networks are interdependent, the analysis to understand the impact of weather events on infrastructure systems is usually performed in sector-specific silos. A methodology to examine how the same weather events affect different infrastructure sectors is presented, in order to understand cross-sectoral impact of extreme weather for interconnected regional infrastructure. Fragility modelling was used to examine the impact of temperature and rainfall on power and rail system failures using the West Midlands (in the UK) as a case study. The results demonstrated that the impact of temperature was broadly consistent across both infrastructure networks, showing less impact until specific upper and lower thresholds are passed; these thresholds were found to be similar for the different infrastructure networks evaluated, but railway infrastructure was found to be impacted more by lower temperatures. A growing correlation between the number of faults on power and railway systems was also found for both rainfall and temperature, indicating the value in coordinating preparation and planning efforts. For infrastructure operators and owners, regional resilience forums and other decision makers, this study provides an approach to assess the regional impact of extreme weather across multiple infrastructure sectors. The results give useful insights to inform the allocation of resources in response to extreme weather events.","PeriodicalId":54573,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers-Civil Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2024-02-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140201126","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper delves into the realm of the construction industry and explores the advancements made in semantic blockchain technology and its potential implications for smart construction practices. The primary research objective is to review the suitability of semantic blockchain approaches in specific usage domains within the construction sector. These domains include contracting with stakeholders, financial contracting, design and monitoring. To achieve this objective, the study investigates the integration of digital identity, access-control management, reputation management, trust computing and semantic blockchain approaches into construction processes. Through this analysis, the paper identifies the potential benefits in terms of enhanced efficiency, improved collaboration, heightened security and more informed decision making. Ultimately, these advancements are poised to create positive outcomes for all stakeholders involved in the construction process.","PeriodicalId":54573,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers-Civil Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2024-02-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140313916","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
