About

Welcome to the 2nd Annual Infraday Mountain States! This event is dedicated to bringing together policymakers, industry experts, researchers, and stakeholders to discuss the challenges and opportunities in infrastructure development and modernization across the Mountain States region.

Infrastructure development in the Mountain States has prioritized improving transportation networks to support regional growth. Major highway projects have been undertaken to enhance connectivity within and between states, facilitating trade and travel. Investments have been made in expanding airports and upgrading air traffic control systems to accommodate the increasing air traffic volume. The region has also witnessed the expansion of rail networks and the development of intermodal facilities, enhancing freight transportation. Furthermore, efforts have been made to upgrade and modernize water infrastructure, including dams, reservoirs, and pipelines, to ensure sustainable water supply and management. These infrastructure advancements aim to boost economic development, enhance safety, and improve overall quality of life in the region.

The event will feature keynote speeches, panel discussions, and interactive workshops covering various topics such as transportation, energy, water, and communication infrastructure. Participants will have the opportunity to learn from industry experts, share experiences, and collaborate on solutions to the challenges faced in infrastructure development across the Mountain States.

This event serves as a platform for networking, engagement, and collaboration among participants. It aims to foster new partnerships and explore innovative approaches to advance infrastructure development in the Mountain States. We invite all interested parties to join us and contribute to the critical conversation on infrastructure development and modernization.

Topics covered in 2023 will include infrastructure investment, efficient project delivery, digital transformation, the impact of the Inflation Reduction Act, equity in public infrastructure, technology for project performance improvement, reimagining urban mobility, sustainable energy infrastructure, climate-resilient infrastructure, EV infrastructure, stormwater infrastructure, broadband development for bridging the digital divide, strategic airport infrastructure projects, and enhancing rail infrastructure in the Mountain States.

4M Analytics

We’ve built a map.

The first digitized & up-to-date map of subsurface utilities.

One reliable source of truth, that gives all stakeholders the confidence they need to plan, design, and construct large-scale infrastructure projects.

Our technology, a combination of satellite imagery and artificial intelligence, is the tool that enables us to do so. Its ability to scan and detect visual evidence of existing buried utilities (documented or undocumented), shines a light over the type, route and location of utilities passing through your project.

Basically, you tell us where to look and we’ll let our technology generate the map you need for your project.

We help:
● Engineering firms
● General contractors
● Project / utility owners
● Consultants
● SUE firms

Plan, design and construct:
● Highways, bridges, tunnels, railways
● Water & wastewater pipelines
● Oil & gas pipelines
● Energy T&D lines
● Solar & Wind farms
● Fiber optic lines
● Any other infrastructure project
