Abstract
This keynote speech will show an industry perspective of the application of geophysics in infrastructure construction and asset management projects. Geophysics is uniquely placed in this industry due to its flexibility in different targets and scales. Several examples will be used to highlight the current state of affairs, including an outlook to further integrate geophysics into the civil engineering discipline.
With the increasing need for upgrading existing infrastructure and construction of new large scale infrastructure, the industry is looking to geophysics to manage and identify risks through non-destructive techniques, reducing the costs and impact of these large construction works through proper planning and integration of various data streams into a combined deliverable model.
