NETWORK DURABLE TRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURE IN THE ATLANTIC AREA |

Project Context The implementation of the EU transport policy outlined in the 2001 White Paper will lead to the construction of new transportation infrastructure and increase the need for the repair/rehabilitation of existing infrastructure in order to adapt them to the current transport policy requirements. Owners and managers of ports, highways and railway infrastructure in the Atlantic Area, both public and private, will be faced with increasing maintenance costs for their structures as well as the high direct costs of the engineering work which will have a great impact on their annual budgets. The DURATINET project addresses this important economic issue which has a great impact on all the Atlantic Area. By promoting the transfer of knowledge within the framework of the durability of infrastructure the project encourages the adoption of joint strategies, regarding both the measures intended to prevent the deterioration of structural materials and the optimisation of maintenance and repair/rehabilitation activities. The project will promote also sustainable and environmentally friendly technologies by encouraging the re-use of recycled materials and a more intensive use of by-products. more >> |
