Infrastructure projects gain the most headlines and are almost always used as a benchmark for Welsh construction industry performance. The decisions about which infrastructure projects to prioritise are always highly contentious – they are strategic investments are functional, acting as a conduit for growth, generating economic and social impact but also tend to be high cost investments.
The decisions need to be taken for the right reasons and then the projects delivered with a clear focus on outcomes. This is crucial because any infrastructure development will only drive economic growth if it is fully aligned with Welsh economic, industrial, social and environmental priorities – and then planned, designed and engineered accordingly.
If Wales is to gain a competitive economic advantage from major projects it will depend upon its vision for the nation’s infrastructure and long-term planning. The decisions about Welsh infrastructure cannot be made in isolation from outside influencing factors or the opinions of stakeholders and desires of the public.
CEW’s Infrastructure Investment and Delivery in Wales conference will address these issues. We will look at the opportunities for Wales; examine the long term benefits to be obtained from well thought out and well planned infrastructure and give delegates the opportunity to bring their experience and expertise to the table in breakout sessions.
This is an opportunity to become directly involved in the work of the Welsh Government in the further development of the Wales Infrastructure Investment Plan – influencing decision making and sharing the industry’s experience in a constructive dialogue.
