Infrastructure Forum

First Infrastructure Forum workshop

The first Infrastructure Forum workshop on 29th June 2006 was led by Andrew McNaughton and Don Ward and attended by representations from a number of target groups including key sector clients (eg BAA, Highways Agency, Network Rail). The Report of this workshop is available. The purpose of the workshop was to consider the current and future challenges for the infrastructure sector and to develop proposals for an Infrastructure Forum as a Constructing Excellence membership, offering to the infrastructure sector. In this context, the infrastructure sector has been defined narrowly as civil engineering, transport (roads, rail etc) and utilities. It was recognized that there is a need for an Infrastructure Forum as a pan-supply-chain body, bringing together both demand side and supply side to work collaboratively to address barriers to industry improvement that none of the parties can address on their own. The next Infrastructure Forum workshop will be held on Tuesday, 14th November 2006 at the DTI Conference Centre.
