1. Capacity Building (Chair: John Ritchie) |
|
|
FIDIC is committed to the principle that a consulting engineering industry must be sustainable in order to achieve sustainability in projects within the country. This workshop will consider the status of the engineering industry using FIDIC’s survey, and will brainstorm capacity building both current and needed to achieve sustainability. |
|
2. Sustainability – What clients want (Chair:
Stan Kawaguchi) |
|
|
There is clear evidence that clients from a diverse range of sectors are now engaging consultants to specifically deliver sustainable solutions. But what services are clients seeking? Join leading speakers from the World Bank and the infrastructure and mining industries in discussing business opportunities in the burgeoning sustainability
markets |
|
3. Project Sustainability Management: delivering a sustainable project
(Chair: Bill Wallace) |
|
|
The workshop is aimed at de-mystifying sustainability for clients and consultants alike. Practitioners will highlight their experiences
and provide case studies of how they implemented sustainable technologies, processes and systems in both the developed and developing
countries, aided by FIDIC's Project Sustainability Management (PSM) Guidelines
that have been in use for one year. |
|
4. Disaster mitigation and remediation (Chair:
Ike van der Putte) |
|
|
Land use planning, safer construction through compliance with codes and
performance-based standards, environmental management and, increasingly, Project
Sustainability Management aim to ensure that remediation efforts and each
specific investment in infrastructure mitigate the effects of disasters in
the long term. |
|
5. Finance and procurement of project (Chair:
Flemming Pedersen) |
|
|
It is accepted that recognition of the social, environmental and economic dimensions of a project is the key to successful project implementation. So what changes to the procurement processes are needed to bring this about? Project owners, financiers and consulting engineers will investigate the issues. |
| 6.
Globalisation – taking advantage of
markets (Chair: Bayo Adeola) |
| |
Globalisation is creating a borderless business climate for trade in services. Participants in this workshop will develop a punch list of requirements for delivering services on an international basis from a local
organisation. They will discuss how partnerships can be used to take advantage of the opportunities for delivering sustainable engineering services to the international standards which clients are
demanding.
SUMMARY |
| 7.
Municipal infrastructure (Chair: Bill Howard) |
| |
Sustainability principles applied to municipal infrastructure projects – buildings urban renewal, waste management, transportation systems - provide immense opportunities for consulting firms. The formation of high performance teams and critical success factors relating to urban projects will be addressed in this workshop. Sustainability in post-disaster rehabilitation will be a major
focus |
| 8.
Water re-use and innovation (Chair: Yumio Ishii) |
| |
Increasing world population combined with climate change and modernisation have led to the recognition that water is not an infinite resource, and that innovative engineering at all levels is essential to address this challenge. Participants will hear from practitioners in the application of technologies and systems such as water sensitive urban design, water reuse, sewer mining and other practical solutions. |
