Are you planning to improve the accessibility of cities by enlarging roads, rail- and waterways capacity? Do you need to initiate renovation works to ensure availability and safety of the structure? Do you need to take measures to ensure flood safety in the hinterland? Are you exploring the possibilities of smart mobility and digitization?
All these issues present you with a number of challenges:
- High accountability through the use of public money
- Availability need to be guaranteed at all times
- Lack of efficient and time-optimized construction processes
- Low bids in tender lead to high costs during realization
- Lack of risk management leads to high costs and delayed completion
