Much of what you hear at conferences involves planning strategies, legal issues, local/state policies surrounding resiliency with infrastructure, beach and coastal nourishment, recovery processes, mitigation strategies, success stories, and lessons learned, but rarely will you hear how approved concepts move from design to in-place structures. In this presentation, our presenters represent the manufacturers and contractors’ point of view, discussing industry products that go into every facet of today’s infrastructure and how precast, prestressed concrete is the product of choice when it comes to resilient infrastructure.
