Through increasing efficiency, enhancing asset lif

Through increasing efficiency, enhancing asset lifecycle management, and improving sustainability, digital construction technology is transforming how we build our nation’s transportation infrastructure.

Nick Nadeau and Matthew Valle of Infrastructure Ventures, InfraTalk America’s parent company, recently had the opportunity to join Nick Caravella and Christy Hunt on Wired to Build, a podcast by Avicado Construction Technology Services.

Together, they discuss the impact of digital construction, the vital role public-private partnerships play in advancing the use of technology throughout the industry, IIJA’s catalytic effect in launching long overdue projects, and the critical push for open, interoperable data standards.

Having buy-in is important to advancing innovation

Having buy-in is important to advancing innovation throughout the Federal-Aid Highway Program. Without a helpful push from a DOT, it can be hard for manufacturers and software companies to get the industry to adopt their product.

In this episode of the #InfraTalkPodcast, Joyce Taylor, chief engineer for Maine Department of Transportation (@mainedot), discusses why getting support from a DOT is critical when companies are wanting to get their innovative solution adopted by transportation agencies.

“It is hard to break into a market as somebody who’s manufacturing something if you don’t have one of the DOTs helping to push, because we are conservative about accepting new materials for a reason,” said Taylor. “We want to make sure that they work.”

Implementing innovative policies and technologies

Implementing innovative policies and technologies that have been proven to reduce accidents on our nation’s roadways are vital to helping the industry reach zero deaths. In a recent #InfraTalkPodcast episode, Secretary of California State Transportation Agency, Toks Omishakin, shared that for the first time in four to five years California had a decrease of nearly 10 percent in roadway fatalities. That’s over 400 lives saved.

“It is our hope that the policy decisions we’re making and actions we are taking with having these national conversations are having an impact within our state,” said Omishakin.

Georgia Department of Transportation (@gadeptoftra

Georgia Department of Transportation (@gadeptoftrans) is getting innovative when it comes to digital. In this “InfraTalk on the Road” episode of our #InfraTalkPodcast, Russell McMurry shares how GDOT is working to deploy broadband across all of Georgia’s interstates. In doing so, they hope to commercialize it so unserved areas in rural Georgia have access to high-speed internet.

McMurry also discusses how learning from other state agencies can help your organization move innovation forward as well as the importance of empowering your staff to seek out leadership opportunities and take risks.

As the industry works to become more sustainable a

As the industry works to become more sustainable and reduce its greenhouse gas emissions, many organizations, like @goasphalt, are working to reach net zero by 2050. The implementation of innovative technology is essential to achieving this goal.

In this special episode of the InfraTalk Podcast, Matthew Valle, general partner and co-founder of the Transportation Infrastructure Delivery (TIDe) Fund, spoke on a panel at the @trimbleofficial Innovate User Conference, titled “ARTBA Innovation Technology Policy Forum: The Critical Role Contractors are Playing to Advance Digital Project Delivery.”

Listen in as he discusses the innovation being used by DOTs and associations to drive the industry toward net zero at the link in our bio.
