DexMat Scales a New Class of Conductive Materials Global infrastructure systems are under mounting pressure, and not just from ageing assets or rising demand. At a deeper level, the materials that underpin power transmission, transport, energy systems and advanced manufacturing are facing structural constraints. Copper remains the backbone of electrical conductivity across infrastructure, yet demand ...

Why Powertrain Efficiency Matters for the Future of Road Infrastructure We talk about fuel efficiency for our wallets. We talk about it for the planet. These are great reasons. But there’s another reason we miss. It’s right beneath our tires. The very roads we drive on are connected to engine efficiency. Our national infrastructure faces ...

Rockwell Automation to promote Smart Tire Manufacturing at Tire Technology Expo The global tire industry is undergoing a structural shift that reaches far beyond incremental efficiency gains. Manufacturers are under mounting pressure to deliver higher performance products while cutting energy use, improving traceability, and complying with a new wave of digital and environmental regulation. Against ...

Precision Over Power Redefining Modern Demolition Across the global construction landscape, demolition is undergoing a quiet but decisive shift. What was once framed as a blunt, high-impact phase at the start of a project has become a technically demanding discipline in its own right, governed by safety constraints, urban sensitivity, environmental performance and commercial pressure. ...

Agentic AI Moves from Concept to Construction-Ready Reality The idea of agentic AI has hovered around boardrooms and research labs for several years, promising machines that do more than follow scripts. What has been missing is proof that these systems can operate reliably in messy, real-world environments where conditions change by the minute and downtime ...

Heavy-Duty Electric Truck Charging Moves with Pilot Projects The electrification of long-haul trucking has reached a point where infrastructure decisions now matter as much as vehicle development itself. Without reliable, high-power charging positioned where freight actually moves, battery-electric heavy goods vehicles remain confined to pilots and publicity runs. Against that backdrop, the agreement between Pilot ...

Autonomous Trucking Moves from Experiment to Essential Infrastructure Autonomous trucking has spent the better part of a decade hovering between promise and proof. Pilot programmes came and went, safety drivers remained firmly behind the wheel, and commercial scale always seemed just a few years away. That balance has now shifted. Gatik has crossed a threshold ...

Saudi Arabia Accelerates Utility-Scale Solar with Local Supply Chains Saudi Arabia’s renewable energy ambitions have entered a more industrial phase, where scale, localisation and delivery capability matter as much as headline capacity numbers. A newly announced 2.25 gigawatt-peak supply agreement for advanced solar tracking systems at the Bisha Solar project illustrates that shift clearly. Beyond ...

Adaptive Ultrasonic Imaging Redefines Concrete Infrastructure Inspection Across the global construction and infrastructure sector, the condition of ageing concrete assets has become a strategic concern rather than a routine maintenance issue. Roads, bridges, tunnels and elevated structures are carrying heavier traffic loads, facing more extreme weather, and being asked to perform far beyond their original ...

New Ice Detection Technology Could Transform Transport Safety Ice remains one of the most persistent and underestimated threats across global transport systems. From regional aircraft flying through marginal weather to motorists encountering black ice on unlit roads, freezing conditions continue to expose critical vulnerabilities in safety systems designed for movement, not molecular change. A newly ...

How to Build an Auger Setup That Handles Any Task An auger setup proves its value when it keeps working, regardless of what the ground throws at it. Digging neat post holes one day and pushing through harder soil the next is rarely about chance. It usually comes down to the decisions made before the ...

Mining and Quarrying Return to the Centre of Global Strategy For much of the past three decades, mining and quarrying sat in an awkward position in the public imagination. Essential, yes, but often treated as background activity, somewhere between a commodity business and a legacy sector that policymakers preferred not to talk about too loudly. ...

John Deere’s P-Tier Excavators Bring Smart Earthmoving to the 20-Tonne Class On most infrastructure jobsites, the excavator is still the machine that sets the tempo. If trenching falls behind, everything behind it stalls. If truck loading is inconsistent, haulage costs creep up. And if operators don’t feel comfortable in the cab after ten hours on ...
