Creating business opportunities for the world's consulting engineering
industry by providing a forum for the exchange of ideas, concerns, business
insights, market trends and best practice.
Through sustainable engineering - global leadership, FIDIC resolves to
assume leadership at the global level for sustainable engineering by:
- identifying the obstacles
- developing and disseminating an action plan
- exploiting opportunities for implementation.

- the micro focus. |
| Capacity Building |
|

Building capacity for sustainability in both developed and developing
countries to help resolve the conflict between rapid development at the
expense of sustainability and the additional complexity and cost of
sustainability. |
|
Presentations will be followed by a panel discussion, and a summary of
arrangements for the Tuesday workshops that will take up the themes developed
in the plenary sessions.
Conclusion - Accepting
the challenge
The Plenary Session concludes with a message from FIDIC President,

TUESDAY - Developing the Action Plan
|
Workshops -
Sustainable development in practice
Four concurrent workshops sessions in four time blocks (08.30 - 10.00; 10.30
- 12.00; 13.30 - 15.00; 15.30 - 17.00) with each workshop repeated.
|
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. |

|
The design-build-operate contract (Chair:
Axel Jaeger) |
|
|
In the business climate where clients, both public and private, are tending to shift risk, the Design Build Operate
(DBO) method of project delivery is increasingly popular. In response to the need for an internationally recognised form of contract, FIDIC is developing a model DBO contract to add to its current suite of contracts, and will present the final draft for review at
the workshop. |
| The
role of the engineering in DB, PFI and PPP projects (Chair:
Richard Kell) |
| |
The explosion in the use of privately financed initiatives and Design-Build
(DB) in the implementation of projects is creating new risks as well as opportunities for consulting engineers. FIDIC is developing two new guidelines to address these issues and will present the current versions for review at this workshop. |
| Risk
Management Forum (Chair: Stephen Bamforth) |
| |
FIDIC’s highly regarded Risk Management Forum will again present and encourage debate on its latest work, including
guides to project insurance and alliancing risks, and update of FIDIC's Risk
Management Manual and a new implementation guide. |
