Abstract
By reducing greenhouse gas emissions not only during construction of new infrastructure but also by extending the lifespan of existing assets, civil engineers play a vital role in contributing to meeting the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. This paper focuses on how engineers in New Zealand have adopted clever yet elegant solutions to reuse, repurpose and revitalise existing transport structures in the past two decades. Case studies of road and rail bridges from Waka Kotahi New Zealand Transport Agency and KiwiRail network highlight the various challenges, solutions and lessons learned.
期刊介绍：
Civil Engineering, listed by the Web of Science, is the ICE''s flagship journal. Practical and diverse in its scope, it publishes overview papers for the non-specialist on any subject relevant to civil engineering today. Topics range from landmark projects to philosophical, ethical, environmental, management and safety issues.
Peer review, copyediting, and colour publication by Civil Engineering are free. If accepted, published papers are easily found by Google search, as well as in specialist citation indexes. There is also the option of making your article open access, should you wish to.
Published authors receive a free electronic copy of their article to share with their peers. Furthermore, as well exposure to ICE''s 91,000-strong membership, published papers are promoted via our social media channels, accessing the wider civil engineering community.
It is free to submit a paper to this journal. Papers appear Ahead of Print (below) as soon as they are ready to be published. Ahead of print articles are fully citable. using the DOI system
