RBDP: Resilient Building Development Program

CIT Unit, InfoBit Lab 

Program Title: Resilient Building Development Program

Program Owner: CME Infrastructure Technology Unit, InfoBit Lab

Program Component:  

  1. Disaster Resilient Infrastructure Development, maintenance and information management
  2. Energy efficient Infrastructure Development: BEMS (Building Energy Management System)
  3. Safety, work-zone hygiene and living aesthetics (Occupational Health, Safety and Environment)

Program Scope: 

  1. Action Research and Innovation on CME(Civil-Mechanical-Electrical) works
  2. Development study.
    1. Planning and Design: Project work for Industrial Master Planning and workability monitoring.
    2. Inspection, survey and reporting on Industrial, Commercial and Housing Infrastructure resilience.
  3. Capacity development (Training & Education) for 4th industrial revolution compatible Technology usage.

Inception: 

Urban resilience is a crying need for an infrastructure hungry country like Bangladesh. Our country infrastructure is not only unsustainable for disasters and climate change but also for lack of knowledge and practice in modern infrastructure technology.

Follows are the concern relating to the Disaster resilient safe structure:

  1. Geotechnical properties of the Foundation: Testing, Analysis and monitoring through geotechnical investigation.
  2. Structural Resilience requirements for a) Industrial b) commercial and c) housing Infrastructure.
  3. Electrical and Fire safety.

This program has been taken in line with the Bangladesh Govt. Development Objective to ensure the resilience of urban cover to sustain the climate change effects.

Program sustainability Plan:

Overall Program sustainability and success shall be achieved through the following potential projects:  

  1. Resilient Infrastructure research study jointly with Development Partners.
  2. Searching Projects and bid for Planning, Design and Construction Supervision.
  3. Capacity Development of Engineers and Technicians from Training Unit, InfoBit Lab.
