"Bridges – Challenges of Planning, Design & Construction"

International VDI Conference, 25-26 June in Rotterdam

The recent collapse of the Morandi Bridge demonstrated once again the importance of a careful construction and maintenance of our bridges. That is why the international VDI ‘Bridges – Challenges of Planning, Design & Construction’ conference is dedicated to current, new and innovative methods and technologies in bridge construction. Several practical examples from leading international companies will give participants food for thought and will also give orientation for their own bridge construction projects. Increasing digitalization and the corresponding challenges will also be a central theme of the conference. The practically oriented program has been created with the help of experts and industry insiders. This includes Rüdiger Schidzig, Director of SZG GmbH, Mike Schlaich, Professor at the Technical University of Berlin and Partner at schlaich bergermann partner as well as Joris Smits, Lead Architect & Bridge Designer at Royal Haskoning DHV.

The Association of German Engineers is looking forward to welcoming experts of the bridge industry from all over Europe in Rotterdam!
