When it comes to infrastructure assets, owners and operators achieve the greatest return on investment by managing costs and risk across the entire life cycle of their assets. A recurring challenge is to bring a “total cost of ownership perspective” that addresses the relationship among design specifications, lifecycle performance, preservation and maintenance requirements, and operating costs. Where the challenge is met, there are significant opportunities to reduce risk, reduce cost, and improve customer experience.

Safe, productive, and reliable infrastructure is the foundation for economic and social well being. The infrastructure industry faces the business imperative to meet customer expectations for improved performance. Better linking the customer experience and the value delivered to the work performed across the infrastructure lifecycle is central to ongoing business improvement.

The infrastructure asset class has seen growing attention from institutional investors, fund managers, developers and concessionaires and their lenders due to its stable, long term and generally inflationary-linked returns. In order to maintain these returns and achieve this stability, the risks of the infrastructure investments need careful analysis and structuring, particularly around technical issues that span both the operating and asset management phases of infrastructure ownership.
