Interesting insights into increasing the speed of construction in New Zealand. #Whatdoesittake is modular bridge construction the answer ? Modular bridge construction using standardised, repeatable and scalable designs can accelerate construction in infrastructure projects. Aurecon developed the A-Bridge for short span bridges and completed projects have demonstrated the benefits in quality, programme and cost with this approach. https://lnkd.in/gJreMrFc. No doubt a modular approach could be used in NZ where the scale is right. 

#Whatdoesittake to deliver major infrastructure faster and unlock greater value for clients and communities? Aurecon's latest insights piece explores how the industry can do more with less - getting to construction faster so that we can play our part in addressing Aotearoa New Zealand's growing infrastructure deficit.

Infrastructure Australia's Gabrielle Trainor AO and Clare Gardiner-Barnes recently participated in CEDA - Committee for Economic Development of Australia's 2024 Infrastructure Conference, contributing to a panel discussion on the future of Australia's infrastructure sector. Gabrielle opened the session by talking about Infrastructure Australia's Market Capacity research and emphasised the importance of governments actively managing demand in their respective pipelines to ensure the sector's future sustainability. She also underscored the outcomes of the numerous reviews that have occurred, highlighting how they have empowered both governments and the industry to adopt a more strategic approach to infrastructure planning and decision-making.

🏗️ INFRASTRUCTURE FORUM - BRAZIL'S WATER AND SANITATION SECTOR 💧 Brazil's water and sanitation sector presents significant opportunities for innovation and investment, especially for Swiss companies. With over CHF 150 billion expected to be invested by 2033, there's a growing demand for new suppliers and innovative solutions in this market. Key Facts: 📌 About 100 million people in Brazil lack access to sewage collection, and 35 million are not supplied with drinking water. 📌The average water distribution loss rate in Brazil is 40%, enough to supply more than 63 million Brazilians in one year. 📌A new regulatory framework approved in 2020 is driving private investment in water and wastewater infrastructure through Concessions and PPPs. 📌Brazil targets the universalization of water supply and wastewater collection and treatment by 2033, with around CHF 150 billion in investments expected by then. To delve deeper into these opportunities, join us at the upcoming Infrastructure Forum in São Paulo on October 23-24, 2024, at UBS, Infinity Tower. Panel 6: Water and Waste Water 🗓️ Date: 24/10/2024 🕘 Time: 09:00 – 10:00 Topics: 🌐Update on the road to universalization 2033 (project pipeline) 🚀Opportunities and challenges from the operator’s view 📈The importance of measurement and precision 🏅Success cases This panel will address the challenges of universalizing basic sanitation in Brazil, focusing on efficient operations, technology's role in measurement and precision, and innovations that can expand the network and maximize operational efficiency. Event Objectives: 🎯Create Awareness: Provide Swiss companies with comprehensive updates on the infrastructure pipeline. 🎯Enable New Business: Facilitate meetings between Swiss companies and Brazilian operators. 🎯Promote Innovation: Highlight Switzerland’s capabilities in research, technology, and financial solutions. 🎯Address Challenges: Discuss legal security, regulation, and financing issues. 🎯Align with G20 Infra/COP30 Priorities: Explore solutions for decarbonizing infrastructure projects. 🎯Sustainability: Promote a Carbon Credit Compensation project that meets international standards and the “Swiss-Brazilian Sustainability and Innovation Prize.” Join us to explore these exciting opportunities and contribute to Brazil's water and sanitation sector's transformation.

Take at a look at our new report from the Net Zero Infrastructure Industry Coalition focussing on the importance of including carbon sequestration from nature in our carbon baselines. Net zero is widely integrated within government and corporate sustainability agendas. However, when nature is missing from the baseline used to set net zero targets, neither the losses in carbon storage resulting from damage to the natural environment or the emission reductions are captured, creating an invisible carbon gap.   #Nature #NetZero #NZIIC
