The Next Generation of Infrastructure

Introduction

Infrastructure is a facility or construction created on the ground that is not physically distinct from other properties such as homes, stores, and industries. It provides users with the same goods and services as these facilities. Transport is provided by roads, while water is provided by water systems. It is referred to the commodities and services that infrastructure offers as infrastructure services.

Infrastructure and its services have unique traits that no other property offers. Infrastructure services are generally in high demand and difficult to replace due to I high demand. For instance, water supplied through a water distribution system is vital.

This training course will highlight:

• Shared use: Individual ownership and operation of infrastructure is expensive and technically challenging. Thus, it must be shared by society. For instance, we are compelled to share the water facility source and water main supply pipes.
• Nonrivalry: Unlike regular goods and services, infrastructure services are not exclusive, as long as there is no congestion, numerous people can use it simultaneously without competition.
• Non excludability: In infrastructure such as regular highways, it is technically difficult to charge only users of the service, such as vehicles or walkers.
• With infrastructure services, the fixed costs, such as construction costs, are substantially more than the variable costs, which rely on the number of service customers.
• Regional monopoly: Typically speaking, infrastructure services have a dominant position in a region due to their massive investment and operation expenses, as well as the fact that they are employed by the community as a whole.

Objectives

By the end of this GLOMACS training course, participants will be able to:

• Understanding Concept of Infrastructure Projects, Promoter of the Project Concept, and Motivation for the Planning.
• Good knowledge of Safety Measures in addition to Advancement of Planning Concept and Advancement of Infrastructure Concept Realization.
• Improving the skills of understanding the concepts of Accidents and Disasters and Failure in Promotion of Infrastructure Concepts.
• Emphasizing environmental goals or the mitigation of climate change's harmful effects.
• Emphasizing social goals or expanding people's access to better social and economic conditions.

Training Methodology

This Next Generation Infrastructure training course will utilize a variety of proven learning techniques to ensure maximum understanding, comprehension and retention of the information presented. The training course is highly interactive and is designed with briefings and a central project scenario as the driver for all course learning. Professionals attending this course will complete several elements of project work through assigned roles. There will be open discussion and real-world examples delivered via competency-led activities.

Organisational Impact

Organization will be able to expand and enhance their capacity in Construction of infrastructure by:

• General clarity of construction requirements 
• Health and safety consciousness
• Familiarity with material-specific standards 
• Familiarity with material-specific standards 
• Leadership advantages for contractors and infrastructure project teams
