Part 2/10:
Infrastructure aging is a pressing global concern. Bridges are at risk of collapsing, dams may break under pressure, and levees could be overwhelmed by severe weather events. The current approach to repairing and maintaining these structures is often hampered by cost constraints, making it less attractive for contractors and governments to undertake critical repairs. However, the long-term costs of inaction are far greater, emphasizing the need for smarter, more efficient methods to address these vulnerabilities.
