Abstract
Infrastructure represents a large part of the UK's asset base, and its efficient management and maintenance are vital to the economy and society. The application of emerging technologies to advanced health monitoring of existing critical infrastructure assets can help to better quantify and define the extent of ageing and the consequent remaining design life of infrastructure, thereby reducing the risk of failure. Emerging technologies also have the potential to transform the industry through a whole-life approach to achieving sustainability in construction and infrastructure in an integrated way - design and commissioning, the construction process, exploitation and use, and eventual de-commissioning. Crucial elements of these emerging technologies include the application of the latest sensor technologies, data management tools and manufacturing processes to the construction industry, both during infrastructure construction and throughout its life. There is a substantial market for exploitation of these technologies by the construction industry, particularly contractors, specialist instrumentation companies and owners of infrastructure.
In this proposal, we seek to build on the creation of the Innovation and Knowledge Centre for Smart Infrastructure and Construction which brings together leading research groups in the University of Cambridge Departments of Engineering and Architecture, Computer Laboratory and Judge Business School. The Collaborative Programme will see these groups working with industrialists and other critical stakeholders on challenging research projects which deliver practical solutions to the problems that industry faces and which promote the dissemination and adoption of valuable emerging technologies.
The development and commercialisation of emerging technologies can provide radical changes in the construction and management of infrastructure, leading to considerably enhanced efficiencies, economies and adaptability. The objective is to create 'Smart Infrastructure' with the following attributes: (a) minimal disturbance and maximum efficiency during construction, (b) minimal maintenance for new infrastructure and optimum management of existing infrastructure, (c) minimal failures even during extreme events (fire, natural hazards, climate change), and (d) minimal waste materials at the end of the life cycle. The Centre focuses on the innovative use of emerging technologies in sensor and data management (e.g. fibre optics, MEMS, computer vision, power harvesting, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), and Wireless Sensor Networks). These are coupled with emerging best practice in the form of the latest manufacturing and supply chain management approaches applied to construction and infrastructure (e.g. smart building components for life-cycle adaptive design, innovative manufacturing processes, integrated supply chain management, and smart management processes from building to city scales). It aims to develop completely new markets and to achieve breakthroughs in performance.
Considerable business opportunities will be created for construction companies, and for other industries such as IT, electronics and materials. The Centre is able to respond directly and systematically to the input received from industry partners on what is required to address critical issues. Through the close involvement of industry in technical development as well as in demonstrations in real construction projects, the commercialisation activities of emerging technologies can be progressed to a point where they can be licensed to industry.
The outputs of the Centre can provide the construction industry, infrastructure owners and operators with the means to ensure that very challenging new performance targets can be met. Furthermore breakthroughs will make the industry more efficient and hence more profitable. They can also give UK companies a competitive advantage in the increasingly global construction market.

Planned Impact
The total value of existing civil engineering works in the UK is £800 billion. It is estimated that the UK will need to spend in the region of £400 billion on new and refurbished infrastructure by 2020 in order to address historic underinvestment and speed the transition to a low carbon economy. Since infrastructure is a large part of the UK's assets, it is vital to the economy and to society that efficient management and maintenance of infrastructure should be an ongoing commitment. The construction industry accounts for a significant proportion of the national GDP and both government and industry have been pushing an agenda aimed at improving the efficiency and quality of delivery of all constructed facilities. In addition, the industry accounts for a significant proportion of greenhouse gas emissions, particularly as a result of cement and steel production, and an entirely new approach to optimal use of resources is needed and being demanded by the UK government. Radical changes in the construction industry are needed, leading to dramatic improvements in a wide range of key performance indicators for the industry, not least of which is productivity as well as competiveness for UK industry in a global market. The Centre aims to achieve the following impacts:
(a) Fostering scientific research in the application and adoption of emerging smart technologies to develop a new academic network in the area of Smart Infrastructure and Construction. (b) Systemisation, standardisation, and ultimately optimisation of construction processes. This will lead to a common systems architecture for construction, allowing transformation from 'one-off' projects to 'service oriented customisable construction factories' with clear commercial and economic benefit. (c) Creation of a 'living structure' which can be continually evaluated and thereby its performance and operation systematically assessed and improved over time. This will be done by constructing infrastructure composed of 'smart' building blocks (eg embedded fibre optic sensors, MEMS sensors and RFID). (d) Reconsideration of infrastructure design and construction in order to provide maximal future proofing through reconfigurability. The need for flexibility in infrastructure systems stems from considerable uncertainty about the scale of cost of, and demand on, that infrastructure, in the light of technological developments as well as changing government policies, macro-economics, demographics, and social behaviour. (e) Quantification of the extent of ageing and the consequent remaining design life of UK infrastructure, using emerging technologies, so that the risk of systemic failure will be reduced and public services improved. Infrastructure owners, both in the public and private sectors, and operators will have the means to ensure that very challenging new performance targets can be met and large cost savings can be made to maintain such assets. (f) Development of new skilled work forces that will realize the step changes addressed in the proposal and will make the construction and infrastructure industry more efficient and hence more profitable. It seeks to reinvigorate the industry to adopt technologies and management methods that will rival other manufacturing sectors such as the aerospace and automotive industries. The construction and infrastructure industry will be more sustainable and competitive, thereby improving the environment, the economy and society in general.

| Description | CSIC's research has resulted in a range of outcomes which have delivered direct insights to assist in delivery of smart infrastructure and construction. These include: • A robust and innovative Distributed Fibre Optic Sensing (DFOS) optical fibre installation technique for piles, retaining walls and tunnels which was used and refined in a series of case studies, providing important new insights into detailed microstrain soil-structure interaction mechanisms in large, complex civil engineering structures • Development of a range of other sensing technologies for civil engineering applications, including photogrammetry, MEMS strain sensors, MEMS energy harvesting solutions, • Use of developed sensing solutions to research behaviour of real infrastructure, including developing further fundamental research insights into challenges such as soil-structure interaction; behaviour and condition of ageing masonry structures; behaviour of tunnels and shafts; • Tools for whole life, value based asset management, including futureproofing frameworks, decision support frameworks, machine learning solutions for assessing criticality and optimising maintenance strategies; • Research into use of the ground to provide heating and cooling solutions at a district level, and the impacts of underground development on this; '3-dimensional' planning of the sub-surface. We have also delivered outputs to enable exploitation of our research outputs by industry and funders. These include: • Development of guidance and policy inputs including: 4 ICE Guidance Books https://bit.ly/2O2NmyY; Report for DfT on smart infrastructure https://bit.ly/2XVhRLA - this was picked up in DfT policy documents; Input to National Infrastructure Commission 'Data for the Public Good' report; • Three monitoring/ sensing spinouts: 8Power; Utterberry; Epsimon • Industry training courses: CSIC delivered several training courses to industry, including open courses and tailored courses at request. Attendees came from a wide range of contractors, consultants and asset owners • CSIC staff have been invited to speak at industry-focussed conferences and meetings, including Ground Engineering, EcoBuild, National Infrastructure Forum, Institution of Civil Engineers. |
| Exploitation Route | CSIC's work is already being implemented and taken forward, both within academia and outside. The Phase 1 funding has resulted in further Phase 2 IKC funding (£5M), and in £5M of additional grant funding from a range of sources including EPSRC, Innovate UK, Horizon 2020 and industry funding. CSIC's technologies have been deployed to monitor a range of infrastructure including Network Rail bridges and cuttings, tall building under construction, heritage assets subject to impact from new construction. CSIC has been active in influencing policy. The Department for Transportation (DfT) commissioned a report from CSIC (https://bit.ly/2XVhRLA), and our work has been referenced by National Infrastructure Commission in, 'Data for the Public Good' December 2017, and the Infrastructure Projects Authority (IPA) Report 'Transforming Infrastructure Performance' Dec 2017. |

| Description | NOTE - Due to the wide scope of CSIC activities, only the briefest description can be given here. For further information please see our CSIC Annual Reviews and at our website http://www-smartinfrastructure.eng.cam.ac.uk/news/newsletters. The engineering, management, maintenance and upgrading of infrastructure has required fresh thinking to minimise use of materials, energy and labour whilst still ensuring resilience. This can only be achieved by a full understanding of the performance of the infrastructure, both during its construction and throughout its design life, through the application of innovative sensor technologies and other emerging technologies. The key aim of CSIC is to transform the construction industry through a whole-life approach to achieving sustainability in construction and infrastructure in an integrated way, employing emerging technologies from world-leading research at Cambridge. This covers: design and commissioning, the construction process, exploitation and use, and eventual de-commissioning Crucial elements of these emerging technologies are the innovative application of the latest sensor technologies, data management tools, manufacturing processes and supply chain management processes to the construction industry, both during infrastructure construction and throughout its design life. CSIC has sought to integrate these innovations for exploitation and knowledge transfer - something which was new to the UK construction and infrastructure industry. CSIC work in development of sensor systems, use of the resultant data to understand the behaviour of structures, and work on improving value-based asset management approaches in construction and infrastructure, over the last 7 years (and some founding research preceding this), has led to the following impacts to industry: • development of robust sensing systems which have been deployed by industry including development of Fibre Optic Strain and Temperature Sensing including 'industry ready' solutions that can be deployed by on-site operatives, leading to Skanska, with substantial investment, setting up their own fibre optic sensing unit, CEMOPTICS • deployment of such sensing systems on a range of real construction and infrastructure projects has led to substantial savings and opportunities to do things differently. These include CSIC's project at Bevis Marks and St Mary Abchurch, where the deployment of the systems saved £6M (Bevis Marks) and over £1M (St Mary Abchurch), and led to wider benefits such as carbon savings (Bevis Marks and St Mary Abchurch) and preservation of a significant heritage asset in the heart of London (St Mary Abchurch) • a broad range of other monitoring deployments by industry including: monitoring of 150 year old operational structures by Network Rail (in collaboration with contractors and consultants e.g. Laing O Rourke, Aecom, Arup, Costain); monitoring of heritage assets by Dragados during the Bank station capacity upgrade works; monitoring of axial shortening in a tall building (Principle Tower). • as a result of the research and demonstration activities of CSIC, we have had direct input to a number of industry standards for deployment and use of sensors and resultant data in infrastructure and construction projects including input to ASTM fibre optic standards and inclusion of Fibre Optic Strain Sensing as a preferred method for monitoring pile load tests in the ICE Specification for piling and embedded retaining walls. • development of asset management theories and frameworks has led to a substantial change in the industry's approach to use and curation of actual data (as generated by the above sensors systems and other systems). Frameworks developed during CSIC work are now being deployed actively by industry partners, including Mott McDonald adopting the BIM maturity assessment tool (BMAT), and discussions with industry on wider adoption of BMAT As well as individual success cited above, there has been systemic influence of the combined CSIC outputs, both on industry practice and government policy. This is evidenced in our reports being specifically referenced by government (NIC and IPA) in calls for evidence and policy papers, and by National Infrastructure Commission in their 'Data for the Public Good' report, which led to the setting up of a national Digital Framework Task Group to deliver on the NIC's recommendations to government (and which Parlikad and Schooling remain closely involved with). Highways England has invested in an innovation project on Embedded Asset Sensing, which will evaluate and demonstrate different sensing solutions as part of the 'Smart Motorways' project, to improve condition monitoring on highways. This is currently in the 'Discover' phase, but will have completed its 'Develop' and possibly some 'Demonstrate' phases before REF submission. Total investment by HE in this programme of work is likely to be upwards of £500K before the REF deadline. We have further examples of CSIC being called in to advise industry when they have been unable to get solutions from existing industry practice. Many of these are confidential and cannot be referenced here. Aa an example CSIC has been employing new technologies for Network Rail to ameliorate concerns that a mainline route may be closed by rock falls when no mainstream monitoring technology has proved successful. |

| Title | BIM Maturity Assessment Tool |
| Description | CSIC's BIM Maturity Assessment Tool (BMAT), initially developed in 2017, uses established performance measurement practices, BIM literature, and other relevant standards, to build and expand on previous BIM assessment tools. Consisting of two major parts -measurement of the organisation's BIM development maturity and measurement of the supporting processes - the tool provides a separate assessment of the different stakeholders (contractor, designer and employer), and is designed to be used as a continuous performance measurement tool that can be employed to track the evolution of BIM maturity throughout the construction phase through to handover. The Excel-based tool is designed to be user friendly and adaptable to the needs of individual organisations and projects. Limited testing of the tool was successful but more case studies were needed for validation. Secondment project - BIM Maturity Assessment Tool - This aim of the secondment project was to ensure the tool complies with all of the applicable standards, to validate the tool through five additional cross-sector case studies and to ensure its appropriateness for Level 2 BIM maturity assessments. Also, the tool required future-proofing for extension beyond Level 2. In order to develop the tool and make it effective and useful to industry, diverse case studies were identified from a range of sectors (water, railways, highways, and nuclear) and various stages in the project delivery cycle (design, construction and handover) as well as different contract types (e.g. traditional, and, design and build). The updated tool is structured to ask the right questions of the user depending on the stage of the Information Delivery Cycle (IDC) and which stakeholders are involved. The tool is designed to reveal how well the asset owner has defined the asset information requirements and how well the different project stakeholders have defined their approach to develop these requirements for both the BIM Execution Plan (BEP) and the Master Information Delivery Plan (MIDP). The tool enables clarity on who owns the data, who owns the common data environment, and who will take responsibility for the Asset Information Model (AIM) upon handover. Questions are asked about competency and information production, which standards have been applied, how to measure the quality of data used, and how the different stakeholders collaborate. The tool is designed to be extended further. Plans include testing additional case studies and improving the weighting system and interdependencies between the various BIM elements, as well as the development of a web-based version which will enable widely processing and disseminating maturity assessment results across the country. |

| Title | Monitoring axial shortening |
| Description | CSIC has developed a novel application of distributed fibre optic sensors (DFOS) to continuously measure the progressive axial shortening of reinforced concrete columns and walls during the construction of high-rise buildings. |
| Type Of Material | Improvements to research infrastructure |
| Year Produced | 2018 |
| Provided To Others? | Yes |
| Impact | The data acquired to date provide the shortening time histories of the instrumented elements with unprecedented detail and at an unprecedented temporal density. This information has been used to demonstrate how an element's shortening is affected by its profile and stiffness, with smaller and less stiff elements shortening more. The continuous data also show that transient thermal effects can play a significant role in axial shortening, at times accounting for as much as 50 per cent of the total deformation. This is particularly significant as shortening predictions prior to construction do not take into account such thermal effects. CSIC's FO monitoring system also makes it possible to observe the effects of occasional and unexpected events - such as an incident of abrupt loading - which could not be observed with periodic or occasional measurements. |
| Title | Predictive Maintenance Model |
| Description | CSIC researchers have developed a methodology to help asset managers to determine the most optimal timing for interventions on their bridge portfolio in a predictive manner. As maintenance budgets for bridge systems are squeezed, many necessary maintenance activities are delayed or cancelled. Retaining an appropriate level of service and safety for an infrastructure network has become a challenging issue and there is pressing need for a smart asset management approach for road bridges. The structure of the overall approach is composed of five interconnected models: deterioration model; lifecycle cost model; predictive maintenance; group maintenance; and maintenance scheduling model (Figure 2). The deterioration model is formulated for each component of the bridges based on the information from the Structures Asset Management Planning Toolkit, general inspection, and other theoretical models. The predictability of the maintenance model enables proactive grouping of maintenance activities at different timings to reduce add-on costs such as the cost of preliminaries, traffic management and design. These add-on costs can be up to 80 per cent of the cost of repairs that are carried out at the same time. Finally, a designed to be meaningful and supports asset management planning and business case development for the asset owner, as well as the interface between the Structures Asset Management Toolkit and asset management systems to allow asset data input to be automated. The tool is designed to be used for any type of bridge from footbridges to motorway bridges. It has been tested and demonstrated using real industry data and dependencies and, constraints have been tested to enable scenario planning. To develop the CISC toolkit, data including deterioration rates and maintenance costs were extracted from the 2015 update of the Structures Asset Management Toolkit Documentation published by the Department for Transport. This data is different from the current version of the DfT Strcutures Asset Management Toolkit released in 2017. Therefore, it is difficult to compare the CSIC toolkit results against the DfT toolkit. The latest data are required in order to secure more accurate results and also validate the outcome of the CSIC toolkit. The available tools in the market have a time-dependent strategy based on experience. The CSIC tool is the first to provide a strategy based on data using a mathematical model to reduce the maintenance costs and improve the safety of bridges at the same time; the CSIC tool introduces a cost and safety dependent maintenance strategy. The tool can be used for a wide range of applications within the infrastructure sector. The next step is to make the tool adaptable for different types of assets such as tunnels, retaining walls, and earthworks. Our secondment programme offers benefits to all stakeholders. Secondees bring new skills, projects and challenges to CSIC that help to develop emerging tools and technologies for industry use. The secondees gain a deep understanding of innovations which they can apply for the direct benefit of their own companies/organisations. |

The infrastructure and construction industry must take action now if we are to achieve net zero carbon by 2050. Some organisations have already publicly stated their commitment to achieve this even before 2050. However, the majority of organisations, although accepting the need to take up this challenge, do not know where to start. What can we as an industry do now to move towards the net zero goal and what changes in policy are needed to enable industry to reach this goal? This cross-government and industry roundtable event, organised by CSIC, Arcadis, and COWI, will address three initial questions. 1) What design and site measures can be adopted to reduce waste and move towards achieving net zero? How can existing data and digital tools be exploited to achieve this? 2) Given the climate emergency and government commitment to net zero by 2050, what changes to their procurement documents and processes can public sector, regulated industry and private sector clients make immediately? 3) What further actions can government ask of asset owners and project clients under existing powers? An action plan for each question will be developed for both individual organisations and at a systemic level. |

| Description | Automating concrete construction: digital processes for whole-life sustainability and productivity |
| Organisation | University of Bath |
| Country | United Kingdom |
| Sector | Academic/University |
| PI Contribution | CSIC Investigators are collaborating with colleagues from the Universities of Bath and Dundee to drive a new culture in the construction industry to improve whole-life sustainability and productivity. CSIC is a project partner and Director Dr Jennifer Schooling chairs the steering group. Automating Concrete Construction (ACORN) is one of four research and development projects funded by UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) under the Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund 'Transforming Construction'. The three-year project will address the core aims of the programme: designing and managing buildings through digitally enabled simulation and constructing quality buildings through offsite manufacturing approaches. ACORN aims to create a culture that takes a holistic approach to the manufacture, assembly, reuse and deconstruction of concrete buildings. This will lead to a healthier, safer built environment and a culture that is built on the concept of using enough material, and no more. The challenge Today, the widespread use of flat panel formwork for concrete leads to materially inefficient prismatic shapes for the beams, columns, and floor-slabs in buildings. This practice, which has been around since Roman times, is both architecturally constraining and a key driver behind the high embodied carbon emissions associated with concrete structures. As much as half of the concrete in a building could be saved, if only we approached the use of the material in a different way. Optimised concrete Concrete starts its life as a fluid and can therefore be used to form structures of almost any shape, given the right mould geometry. ACORN will capitalise on this material property to drive the minimisation of embodied carbon in new building structures. The team will create an end-to-end digital process to automate the manufacture of non-prismatic building elements, capitalising on the recent proliferation of affordable robotics and bring them into an industry ripe for a step-change in sustainability and productivity. Something as simple as allowing beams, columns and floor-slabs to have the shape they need to take load, rather than the shape they need to be easily formed, allows a complete rethink of the way material is used in buildings. Fabrication of concrete elements By moving the manufacture of structural concrete elements into a highly controlled factory environment, ACORN aims to ensure that buildings can become more sustainable and the construction industry more productive. Considerations such as the materials to be used, how reinforcement is placed efficiently, how to take into account whole-life value, and how to organise the design process to take advantage of the new possibilities of robotics, will all be considered within the sphere of the project. Demonstration building The key to transforming this conservative industry is to lead by example. One of the most exciting parts of the project, is the proposed construction of two bays of a full-size prototype office building, to be completed at the BRE Innovation Park in Watford. One bay will be left with an exposed structure to show the methods and techniques used in its manufacture, the other bay will be fitted-out as an office building, with roof, walls, façade and internal finishings, to show how the techniques translate into an architectural solution. The demonstration building will serve multiple purposes. On an academic level, it will contribute to the research agenda by acting as a living laboratory. Embedded sensors will collect and share useful live data about how the building is performing structurally, as well as what loads the different parts are carrying. The BRE Innovation Park is visited by 20,000 people annually and data will also be collected from those visitors in user surveys, to evaluate the new appearance. The building's eventual deconstruction will also be an opportunity to verify how the whole-life value drivers for automation perform in reality. Benefits The ACORN project is expected to produce a number of benefits. Reducing reliance on concrete will have a positive environmental effect - construction accounts for nearly half of the UK's carbon emissions and concrete alone for five per cent of global CO2 emissions. There is also huge cost-saving potential - ACORN's research has identified close to £4bn in cost savings for UK construction per annum, that would arise directly from better consideration of material use. Globally, a mere one per cent reduction in construction cost would save $100bn annually. ACORN's focus on automated manufacturing and digital processes to reduce both fabrication and build time are key parts in realising better value. The project will benefit from the contributions of 12 industry partners, including architects, engineers and building contractors, who will work alongside the ACORN team to ensure outputs will bring value to industry. The professions will also benefit with architects able to explore a new form of construction; engineers gaining insights into the real loads such structures have to carry during their lifetime; and contractors having the tools they need to increase quality control, productivity and fabrication time, while de-risking the construction site. ACORN is tackling the UK government's Construction 2025 targets head-on. By automating construction, moving it off-site, and developing a culture of using just enough material, and no more, the project will lower costs, reduce delivery times and dramatically reduce carbon emissions. |

Considerations such as the materials to be used, how reinforcement is placed efficiently, how to take into account whole-life value, and how to organise the design process to take advantage of the new possibilities of robotics, will all be considered within the sphere of the project. Demonstration building The key to transforming this conservative industry is to lead by example. One of the most exciting parts of the project, is the proposed construction of two bays of a full-size prototype office building, to be completed at the BRE Innovation Park in Watford. One bay will be left with an exposed structure to show the methods and techniques used in its manufacture, the other bay will be fitted-out as an office building, with roof, walls, façade and internal finishings, to show how the techniques translate into an architectural solution. The demonstration building will serve multiple purposes. On an academic level, it will contribute to the research agenda by acting as a living laboratory. Embedded sensors will collect and share useful live data about how the building is performing structurally, as well as what loads the different parts are carrying. The BRE Innovation Park is visited by 20,000 people annually and data will also be collected from those visitors in user surveys, to evaluate the new appearance. The building's eventual deconstruction will also be an opportunity to verify how the whole-life value drivers for automation perform in reality. Benefits The ACORN project is expected to produce a number of benefits. Reducing reliance on concrete will have a positive environmental effect - construction accounts for nearly half of the UK's carbon emissions and concrete alone for five per cent of global CO2 emissions. There is also huge cost-saving potential - ACORN's research has identified close to £4bn in cost savings for UK construction per annum, that would arise directly from better consideration of material use. Globally, a mere one per cent reduction in construction cost would save $100bn annually. ACORN's focus on automated manufacturing and digital processes to reduce both fabrication and build time are key parts in realising better value. The project will benefit from the contributions of 12 industry partners, including architects, engineers and building contractors, who will work alongside the ACORN team to ensure outputs will bring value to industry. The professions will also benefit with architects able to explore a new form of construction; engineers gaining insights into the real loads such structures have to carry during their lifetime; and contractors having the tools they need to increase quality control, productivity and fabrication time, while de-risking the construction site. ACORN is tackling the UK government's Construction 2025 targets head-on. By automating construction, moving it off-site, and developing a culture of using just enough material, and no more, the project will lower costs, reduce delivery times and dramatically reduce carbon emissions. |

| Impact | Cementation Skanska won the Ground Engineering Sustainability Award for work on the Bevis Marks project. A large part of the submission focused on reuse of the foundation and the use of optical fibre instrumentation. In particular, it highlighted the importance of such instrumentation, used in this way for the first time, in the success of this project. The innovative use of such sophisticated instrumentation to facilitate foundation reuse was commended by the judges. This award provides a great demonstration of the use and commercialisation of 'smart' optical fibre instrumentation and also highlights the work of University of Cambridge and the wider CSIC, in particular the Fibre Optic projects, being applied successfully in practice. |

| Description | CSIC RA Funding Project - Deep foundation automatic anomaly detection and visualisation system |
| Organisation | Arup Group |
| Country | United Kingdom |
| Sector | Private |
| PI Contribution | The proposed research aims to develop an automated pile integrity interpretation framework that uses thermal distributed fibre optic (FO) methodology, finite element modelling and machine learning techniques. In the first and second stages, using a full-scale well controlled laboratorytest, the project will firstly develop a system to visualise the pile construction process using collected date and an effective interpretation method for assessing the structural integrity of the pile. Then, machine leaning techniques will be used to recognise the defect patterns within the pile to establish a rapid anomaly response system. An automatic defect detection prototype (software) will be developed at the end of the first stage which allows automatic defection including the location of the defect and its size using minimal human input. In the third stage, the project aims to study the complex strain and temperature coupling effect for early age concrete. The study outcomes will not only help to improve the capability of the anomaly detection system, but will enable the whole-life performance assessment of the concrete piles and hence a benchmark for pile re-use in future. |

| PI Contribution | 1. To validate and calibrate distributed optical fibre sensing systems as accurate measures of temporal and spatial temperature and strain in fresh and hardened concrete. 2. To explore how distributed sensor indicators could be used as early age predictive measures for conventional ordinary Portland cement and more sustainable low-carbon mixes. Better predictors of concrete strength reduce uncertainty, enhance productivity and improve efficiency. The insight could also be used to adapt manufacturing processes and to promote acceptance of low carbon cementitious elements. 3. To determine the feasibility of a back-scattering spectrometer based system for monitoring internal concrete temperature and strain. 4. To undertake a scoping study of the added value of 'Inside concrete' fibre optic sensing during the fresh state curing process and consider how this might be extrapolated across different |

| PI Contribution | CSIC contributes cutting edge research into innovative solutions for construction efficiencies and structural health monitoring of existing national infrastructure assets, while developing tools and resources to enable and facilitate asset management as a value-based system at the network level, and leveraging impact into city planning policy. CSIC's evolving work with SMEs enables them to connect to markets where they never had contact before - CSIC was a good connectivity hub, helping them make contact with customers who are ready to purchase products and services. With Montec, we probably helped them put their innovation into perspective (particularly regarding the monitoring of ferrous, or ferrous-containing structures, which applies to most infrastructure assets as such). They were then able to focus on masonry structures which will help them further their business. |
| Collaborator Contribution | CSIC's Industry Partners contribute approximately £7 Million in in-kind funding, such as access to the London Underground Tunnels at 2am, which is almost impossible to price, and expertise of national leaders in asset management and innovative product design. CSIC links many of the big consultancies in the CSIC Industry Partner group with SMEs working on innovative solutions of which the consultancies may not be aware. |
| Impact | CSIC's Industry Partner Collaborations are multi-disciplinary, as they involve collaborative projects in areas as diverse as MEMS Vibrating Energy Harvesters, up to city-scale modelling work with government departments and bodies, such as the Future Cities Catapult. |
