Transnational experience

Dr. Pakrashi: UCD PI, FLEXAQUA MARTERA (2018-20); was co-PI in Bridge-SMS Marie Curie IAPP (2015-18) project. Prof. Eugene Obrien: Was leader of FP7 RAIN (2014-17) and Infrarisk (2013-16). He is PI on US-Ireland project, Camera-based Bridge Monitoring (2015-18), funded in Marie Curie TRUSS ITN.

Role in the project

UCD will lead WP5 collaborating with UVigo and contribute significantly to WP7 closely with Irish Rail and partly with Infrastructures Portugal. UCD will liaise with UNantes, UBirmingham in WP4 to adapt climate indicators to monitoring and provide estimates for decision making in WP6 via UMinho.

Activities to implement in the project

Adapt climate indicators in WP4 to instrumentation and monitoring (I&M) strategy I&M design, guideline & algorithms for climate-aware performance feature detection Comprehensive numerical & experimental repository (WP5) Contribute in test-bed I&M (WP7) Estimate climate-aware decision inputs (WP6)

SIRMA
Strengthening infrastructure risk management in the Atlantic Area

SIRMA project aims to develop a robust framework for the management and mitigation of such risks, by implementing immediate, medium and long-term measures, thus increasing the resilience of transportation infrastructure. Most of the transportation of people and goods in Atlantic Area is made through rail and road. The performance of this infrastructure is directly affected by extreme natural events and by the strong corrosion processes that result from proximity to the Atlantic Ocean.
