Sustainability and Reliability of Infrastructure

The infrastructure and buildings of Kuwait often suffer from premature degradation as a direct result of material deterioration caused by Kuwait’s hot climate, improper maintenance schemes, unexpected natural and human-caused hazards, and inadequate construction practices. In response to the need for more reliable construction practices, KISR’s Sustainability and Reliability of Infrastructures (SRI) Program was established to find applicable solutions to the challenges that threaten the nation’s physical infrastructure.
