Engineering affects everyone's lives. From roads and railways we travel on, to the water we drink and the electricity we use, engineers are the providers. But the job is getting harder; resources are getting scarce; cities are filling up. Roads are congested. Railways are at capacity. New and innovative solutions are going to be needed.
The Engineers Collective is the podcast for those who are curious about the future and how engineers will keep our towns and cities running.
In each episode members of the New Civil Engineer editorial team are joined by industry guests to discuss key topics impacting our industry.
The Engineers Collective is sponsored by Bentley Systems. Around the world, engineers and architects, constructors and owner-operators are using Bentley’s software solutions to accelerate project delivery and improve asset performance for the infrastructure that sustains our economy and our environment. Together, we are advancing infrastructure. Find out more, at www.bentley.com.

Integrating artificial intelligence into structural maintenance and management
Joining host Rob Hakimian this month is Mind Foundry director of civil infrastructure Tom Bartley to discuss how the business is working on the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into our infrastructure maintenance and management processes.
Tom discusses the issues with current structural maintenance regimes and how AI can help to empower the workforce to overcome these constraints. He explains the concept of “digital custodianship” of structures and how Mind Foundry’s new phone app is expanding the accessibility to its tools.
Rob and Tom also discuss the work that Mind Foundry has done with HS2 and Sir Robert McAlpine, as well as the potential for AI use in infrastructure to change the way assets are insured. Tom also talks about the work that Mind Foundry is doing with the Advanced Research + Invention Agency (ARIA) to ensure that use of AI remains both ethical and safe in hazardous contexts.
Prior to the interview portion, Rob is joined by NCE senior reporter Tom Pashby to discuss all the recent developments with the Sizewell C nuclear plant including the funding agreement, recent work on site and appointment of a main civils contractor.
