So many issues with this rehab project. Is this just with B.Q.E? Or are we approaching the end of an era of mega #infrastructure projects in US?
Sometimes it feels that way.  https://t.co/2pCaKdD2ZH

Great and ambitious.

This is happening now. We will be designing and experiencing a #digitaltwin of new #infrastructure for a lifecycle performance in the #Metaverse before we physically build it. It’s like building streets or buildings in #minecraf…https://t.co/w8QuLlrwPN https://t.co/TIhejdWpD3

I like what I am reading in this article. A system built from design phase that will allow monitoring the post construction performance and deterioration so that you preemptively maintain the infrastructure before any issues arise.…https://t.co/yEKijJtqwF https://t.co/e0YbcAwVAA

Good, easy read #water article.. Like the title too.
