Infrastructure & Bridges

There is a huge emphasis on infrastructure in Africa, and other Asian countries. Nearly 1 Trillion USD is expected to be invested in urban infrastructure, in the next 20 years. And in these coming years, the industry needs good leaders who can understand the multidisciplinary challenges of the sector, and drive the nation into the future. To fulfil that pipeline, mid-career professionals in the industry need to be equipped with the necessary skills and competencies related to multiple disciplines: Strategic Planning, Finance, Economics, Law, Social and Environmental Issues, Public Policy, and other subjects. This needs a structured programme of learning.The Advanced Management Programme in Infrastructure Management (AMPI) is being designed to cater to precisely this need.

Corrosion is a leading factor in the degradation of bridges. NACE International, the corrosion society, has more than 30,000 members, many of whom specialize in corrosion control in highway bridges. These members possess expertise in corrosion inspection and prevention, including protective coatings and cathodic protection.
