Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Advancements in digital technologies can aid the infrastructure engineering industry in its move towards more sustainable construction and operation. Wireless sensor technology, self-sensing materials, the Internet of Things, 3D visualisation, artificial intelligence, NDT, drone technology and image processing are all employed in the whole life cycle of infrastructure, from planning and design to construction and maintenance, and, eventually, decomposition. Cost and risk reduction, safety and reliability improvement, failure prediction, minimising environmental impact, optimising maintenance management, and extending the remaining lifetime of civil infrastructure are all potential advantages of using intelligent technologies within the infrastructure industry.
This Special Issue invites research work with a focus on existing challenges in the adaptation and integration of these technologies in the industry. Experiences relating to the development of such technologies and their application to various infrastructure (bridges, tunnels, dams, energy infrastructure, pipelines, coastal and marine infrastructure, etc.) are of interest. Contributions and case studies on the latest theoretical and practical advances in the intelligent planning, design, construction, monitoring, and maintenance of civil infrastructure are welcomed for publication in this Special Issue.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Sustainability is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
