Improving system reliability and resilience
13/05/2025
The increasing frequency of extreme weather, coupled with persistent challenges such as low adhesion, call the industry to further improve system reliability and resilience. By enhancing your understanding of how systems fail and how to prevent future occurrences, you can deliver operations that better withstand disruptions.
How we’re supporting the industry
Notable work
