This session highlighted advancements in materials science that are redefining infrastructure durability and sustainability. Industry experts explained how innovative materials—like high-performance concrete, recycled plastics, and geopolymer alternatives—are extending asset lifespans and lowering environmental impact. Attendees discovered how embedded sensors and responsive materials are enabling real-time monitoring and adaptive responses to stress, temperature, and wear for smarter, more resilient infrastructure systems.
Join us for more conversations on the future of infrastructure and closed-door working group sessions for members of the BuiltWorlds Infrastructure Research Track at the 2026 Construction Tech Conference, happening July 15-16 in Chicago, Ill.
