Workshop Theme:
Making the Business Case for Investing in Sustainable Public Infrastructure!
Innovation and Lesson Learned (Fiscally, Environmentally, Socio/Economically)
Workshop Industries:
Aviation, Education, Healthcare, Ports, Transit/Transportation, Utilities, Water/Wastewater
Workshop Topics and Sub-topic examples:
1. Planning, Measuring, and Delivering Infrastructure and Facilities based on Value (Return for
Public Investment),
- Revolutionary and Transformative solutions that inspire and improve project delivery success.
- Incentivize Project Delivery by Rewarding for “Asset Value into Service”
- Where is the investment most needed vs focused? (by Industry, by Initiative)
- Priority-Based Budgeting
- Delivering Projects with Predictable Results using Digital Rehearsals
2. Challenges and Successes in Mega Programs and Projects (Vertical and Horizontal)
- The Art of Implementation: What’s required for successful implementation? (plan, do, repeat!)
- Stories of Overcoming Obstacles and Achieving Major Milestones
- Multi-Owner project successes (and what was their collaboration organization/processes/platform like?)
- Multi-Modal Infrastructure – Project Synchronicity… collaborating with concurrent projects’ stakeholders on complex projects
- Technology trends that will help all mega Capital Programs collaborate for successful delivery of multi-owner/stakeholder and partnership endeavors.
3. Shaping Modern Public Infrastructure and Buildings to be Lean, Clean, Green, and Inclusive
- Architecting the next generation of Public Infrastructure to meet accelerating needs with less resources.
- What are the social, economic, environmental impacts that mega projects are having on our society?
- Going Clean and Green for Sustainability (LEED, WELL & RESET)
- LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) mainly focuses on the environmental impact and energy sustainability of buildings.
- WELL Certification prioritizes people's health and wellness.
- RESET certifies and prioritizes ongoing performance and long-term occupant health.
4. Equitable Workforce Development to ensure infrastructure projects have the skilled talent
pool needed.
- Help grow or sustain the economy by building local market competitiveness for the next decade/century
- Benefit local workers and businesses
- Recruiting and developing younger “emerging” talent
- Close the digital divide in underserved areas
- Improve access to healthcare, education, and jobs
- Support the development of an equity-driven telecommunications workforce
5. New Design Standards for Improving Infrastructure and Building Resilience against
political/environmental events
- Storm Water Storage for Drought Resistance
- Sourcing National/International resources for Rapid Response, Recovery and Restoration projects
- New standards borne from responding to a crisis that will likely reoccur.
- Inclusivity: Innovative integration of Cultural Artforms and Amenities into Architecture and Infrastructure
6. Targeted Program/Project Controls Topics for Technical Breakout Sessions
- Collaboration process and tools for “open book” Cost Estimate comparison (OPC vs ICE)
- 5D Engineering (integrated Design, Schedule and Cost model during Project
- Planning and Engineering/Construction phase)
- 5D Master Schedule (Level 3 activities linked to a GIS Map, and resource and (cost-loaded)
- 5D Asset Management (during Operations phase)
