Infrastructure

NIST supports the safety, interoperability, and resilience of the Nation’s core infrastructure, including power, transportation, water, and telecommunications.

NIST develops new measurement techniques and disseminates reference materials and data that support assessment of and innovation in performance and resilience of the built environment. NIST’s support for code and standards development helps ensure quality and safety in buildings and roads, and promotes interoperability in infrastructure systems. NIST also works with stakeholders throughout the infrastructure sector to help accelerate the deployment of new technologies, including assessments that can aid the prioritization of repairs or rebuilding.
