Titled ‘Transforming Construction – a move to whole-life value’, the blog makes the case for taking a whole-life approach to infrastructure.
Reflecting on reaching the halfway mark of the four-year Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund (ISCF) Transforming Construction Challenge, Liam Winder brings focus to the benefits of projects taking this approach: “Looking at infrastructure through a whole-life performance lens allows us to make better decisions on our infrastructure investments and most importantly change the way we choose to deliver it.”
Adopting a whole-life approach better supports the use of digital design technologies and modern methods of construction: “Taking the long view encourages organisations to deploy cleaner more efficient energy systems, replace outdated methods and take up a collaborative innovative approach to delivering infrastructure which becomes a service to its end user and continues to provide value throughout its lifetime.”
The informative and thought-provoking monthly blogs are written by members of the CSIC team, partners and industry experts to showcase opinions and ideas from the forefront of smart infrastructure and construction.
