Reducing Risk in Transit Projects Please join the The Canadian Council for Public-Private Partnerships Partnerships on Thursday, February 29 for Reducing Risk in Transit Projects, a breakfast event launching this new report by the Future of Infrastructure Group hosted by CCPPP. The event will include a presentation on the report's findings by John Allen, Executive Director, Future of Infrastructure Group, followed by a panel of transit project experts moderated by CCPPP's Lisa Mitchell. The panelists are: Corina Moore, Executive Vice President, Transportation & Infrastructure, WSP; Chris Phillips, Senior Vice President, Project Delivery (LRTs), Infrastructure Ontario; and Tim Shepherd, Alliance Director, Union Station Enhancement Project, Kiewit. Canada is investing record amounts into transit projects with most major cities across the country having at least one rail line in planning or construction. Transit projects are large and complex with many uncertainties and unknowns, and large networks of interrelated responsibilities all relying on each other to be successful. This adds up to significant project risk. Unclear, unmanaged, or misallocated risk can add significant costs and delay project completion. The report includes a series of recommendations based on experiences from projects across Canada that are using different processes and tools to understand and tackle risk at every stage to support better project outcomes. #esricanada #esri #transportation #p3 REGISTER NOW https://lnkd.in/gXpHswzw

Infrastructure Developments and Investments in the UK

P3s (Public-Private Partnerships) are one of the key tools Alberta Infrastructure uses to build important projects efficiently. Here’s how they work for you: 🔹 Award-winning results: Our recent P3 bundle delivered 5 high schools across Alberta won multiple awards, created 1,700 jobs and built spaces 7,000 students. 🔹 Proven success: Over the last 15 years, we’ve built 45 schools through P3s, along with highways and treatment facilities. 🔹 Smart spending: Since 2004, we’ve invested $8 billion in P3 projects, saving $3.4 billion compared to traditional methods. P3s ensure that your taxpayer dollars go further while delivering top-notch infrastructure for growing communities. Read more about P3s here: https://loom.ly/FohrGc4

The National Infrastructure Commission 2024 Progress Review Report out this morning points to a mixed bag but with a strong message that the next 5 years will be make or break for infrastructure in the UK Key themes that came up at the launch include 1️⃣ Planning is central to the debate 2️⃣ We need a bigger, bolder and more honest conversation with the public about the new infrastructure needed to provide the services and standards we expect 3️⃣ New projects need to be investable The Linear Infrastructure Planning Panel (LIPP) new White Paper 👇 sets out recommendations for how new tech and approaches can help transform planning to better deliver net zero, resilience and nature recovery The Panel has brought together social and environmental groups with key government actors to develop good practice in this area. A small step towards a more open conversation with the public about the need for change New planning tech can reduce project risk and thus help make projects more investable We absolutely also need consistent, clear and courageous government policy. But that looks like a ✅ ✅ ✅ for the Panel to me Julia Prescot James Heath Margaret Read

P3s are “a powerful tool for addressing Canada’s infrastructure needs,” writes Concert Infrastructure CEO and CCPPP board of directors member Derron Bain.    Bain writes that to meet the challenges facing Canadian municipalities, we must integrate strategic best practices that can enhance the #P3 model’s effectiveness now. Recommendations laid out in Modernizing Canada’s Approach to Public-Private Partnerships (P3s): CCPPP’s New Recommendations (https://lnkd.in/eJMNFjXA), writes Bain, can governments across Canada deliver high-quality, cost-effective projects that meet the needs of today while laying a strong foundation for the generations of tomorrow.

In 2024, the infrastructure sector is experiencing favorable developments, particularly by the progress of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. With a significant portion of funds already allocated, there is a notable increase in projects related to roads and bridges. The industry is shifting towards a more collaborative approach. 🌉 Here are some trends to look out for in 2024 - What are a you expecting to see this year? 🌉 AGS Associates #infrastructure #roadconstruction #heavycivil #2024trends

You're invited to the UTS Webinar ‘Infrastructure Delivery: What’s Next?’ on 28th May 2024 Of the $100bn projects added to the Australia & New Zealand Infrastructure Pipeline in 2023, $70bn were energy-related. Defence was the largest sector of non-energy projects, with just $6bn of new road/rail projects added. Against the background of this shift, the government needs to grapple with fiscal constraints, deliver the existing pipeline, avoid the headline “cost blowout”, and realise community benefits and expectations. In this online webinar, we'll explore the key questions surrounding infrastructure delivery and the pressing issues that demand attention and action. From project prioritisation to access to skilled labour and resources, investor preferences, risk management, and the housing shortfall, our panel will discuss the crucial problems impacting the future of Australia's infrastructure development. Panellists: - Sonya Campbell - Deputy Secretary, Commercial at the NSW Treasury.  - James Sherrard - Head of Commercial, Performance and Strategy at Transport NSW - Thao Oakey - Non-Executive Director on the board of Sydney Metro (NSW Govt authority). - Donny Yap – General Manager Strategy Sustainability and Innovation Ventia Moderator - Martin Locke – Adjunct Industry Professor, School of the Built Environment UTS, Course Leader Infrastructure Delivery – Time for a Reset. Coordinator - Shankar Sankaran  - Professor Organizational Project Management, School of the Built Environment, UTS Date: Tuesday 28th May Time: 12.30 to 1.30PM Zoom link for the free webinar will be sent upon registration at: https://lnkd.in/eWwHmGFg
