The Technology Road Map

Inspection and management of our infrastructure

The Technology Road Map for Canada's CIS is an invitation to action for the infrastructure industry. All parties with an interest in civil infrastructure systems are challenged to review the objectives and recommendations of the Road Map and:

•  adopt the TRM objectives as a national vision for the long-term management of CIS;

•  within the mandate of their organizations, develop an action plan that will achieve the TRM objectives, and

•  if necessary and possible, expand the mandate of their organizations to create the opportunities necessary to meeting the objectives of the TRM.

In the context of the TRM, civil infrastructure systems have been limited to:

•  transportation structures, including roads, bridges, sidewalks and airports, but not transportation fleets; and

•  environmental structures, including drinking water, storm water and waste water systems, but not gas and power utility systems.
