Global study on the future safety of critical infrastructure

TÜV SÜD has conducted a global study exploring the vital question of how can we ensure the future safety of critical infrastructure that underpins modern society.

This report captures the findings of a six-month investigation carried out in 2021, focusing on the safety of critical infrastructure in both the energy (conventional and renewable) and transport sectors (maritime, road, and rail).

Insights were gathered from a wide range of industry stakeholders involved in the delivery, ownership, operation, and maintenance of infrastructure. The study engaged participants from across the UK, Europe, the Middle East, Asia, Australasia, the United States, and Canada—offering a truly global perspective on the challenges and opportunities ahead.

It addresses questions including:

  • What is the state of current practice for the management and maintenance of infrastructure to enable a safe outcome for society?
  • What does future safety practice need to look like for the management and maintenance of infrastructure?
  • What gaps are there in the provision of safe infrastructure for society and what opportunities are there to apply existing techniques from within and external to the sector?
  • What evidence is there for the effectiveness of existing and future practice for the management and maintenance of infrastructure?
