This 1956 12-cylinder Nordberg radial engine services a small municipal power plant in the Midwest, USA and is perhaps the last remaining example in operating condition. It is no longer in regular operation, but it is maintained to serve as a peaker unit when needed.

2011, an Innovation Knowledge Centre (IKC) for Smart Infrastructure and Construction was set up, based in the Department of Engineering, but involving colleagues from across the University – in the Department of Architecture, the Computer Laboratory and Judge Business School. The IKC works with construction, infrastructure and technology firms. Its aim is ambitious: its founders believe that it could kick-start a new industry dedicated to smart infrastructure and construction in the UK.

In the Western Balkans region, achieving efficient and modern internal transport networks and infrastructure and communication networks between the region’s countries will be a key enabler of economic growth and transition. This is a political priority of the countries themselves and the European Union, because it is an important means of improving links across the region and integrating the countries in the area into the political and economic mainstream of Europe (Matsoukis, 2008). A series of infrastructure and increasing costs to build and maintain roads and supplies. Railway systems are similarly vulnerable. Inland navigation will more often be faced with restrictions associated with extremely low and high river discharges. Changes in transport capacity may lead to changes in transport costs or to a shift between transport modalities. Economic impacts are closely related to the frequency of events that damage, disrupt and restrict transport, and the availability of transport alternatives. Furthermore, the costs associated with monitoring and maintenance of these networks is likely to increase. Few studies exist on the impacts of climate change on the transport networks within the region, including the mountainous areas. However, one study on the EU-27 transport network can give some indication of potential economic costs of climate change for the region. For road infrastructure, weather stresses already represent 30 per cent to 50 per cent of current road maintenance costs in Europe. Ten per cent of these costs (0.9 billion euro) are associated with extreme events, with flooding taking the lead. A significant extra cost for road transport infrastructures is projected due to more frequent extreme precipitation and flooding events (50–192 million euros per year between 2040–2100). At the same time, increasing temperatures could reduce road costs related to maintenance operations in colder areas (for snow and ice) (JRC, 2012).

Lack of adequate infrastructure has been hampering long-term economic growth in Turkey, with the government now focusing on an ambitious infrastructure modernisation programme to correct this.
A similar situation exists in Russia where CEOs see infrastructure as a key bottleneck for the economy.
This discussion brought together major investors in Russia and Turkey for a look at how private capital can be effectively channelled into infrastructure investments in these economies.

The final, centre gap in the new Port Mann Bridge was closed, a major construction milestone that completes the bridge deck and superstructure required to open the bridge to traffic this December. When the new bridge opens, drivers can expect to save up to an hour off their daily commutes.

First attempt at some night time long exposure shots of the transport infrastructure of Leeds. Having to learn quickly, but pleased with one or two shots. Unfortunately there are a lot of competing light sources around. The best shot was spoilt by lens flare.

In India, roads have come to occupy a dominant position in the transportation system of the country. Rural roads infrastructure is critical to socio-economic development. The total road network in India today stands at 3.4 million km of which 2.8 million km comprises low volume rural roads. This includes roads constructed and upgraded under the Government of India’s flagship Prime Minister’s Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY) programme. Rural roads comprise over 80 per cent of the road network and their being kept in serviceable condition is crucial to the agricultural growth and livelihood of millions in rural areas including all weather connectivity to social facilities such as schools, health and market centres.
