Infrastructure must catch up with more technologically advanced sectors and capitalise on its increased role in the UK’s short and long-term plans, according to a new ICE report.
The report –
A systems approach to infrastructure delivery (SAID) – provides guiding principles and recommendations for the leadership, culture and organisation of infrastructure projects.
Among the recommendations is a call for infrastructure to close the gap with sectors that have adapted better to growing complexity and technological change, including oil, gas and aerospace.
The report recommends cherry-picking best practices to improve efficiency and effectiveness.
With infrastructure at the heart of the UK’s proposed economic recovery plan from Covid-19, and central to the target of net zero carbon emissions by 2050, the report also calls on owners to clearly define a project’s outcomes and provide direction across the board.

International Coalition for Sustainable Infrastructure Celebrates Growth in First Year
Leaders from across the country came together virtually to highlight the consensus that engineers are uniquely placed to shape our collective future of infrastructure adaptation and resilience.

American Society of Civil Engineers
One year ago, global leaders from mayors to civil engineers and engineering organizations joined forces to identify the biggest barriers to infrastructure adaptation and resilience, and to understand how the engineering community could act as a catalyst for action, which resulted in the International Coalition for Sustainable Infrastructure (ICSI). Leaders from across the country came together again virtually this year due to the COVID-19 global pandemic. The symposium highlighted the consensus that engineers are uniquely placed to shape our collective future.
