Creating major events that leave lasting experiences
Authenticity and disciplined customer experience turn major events into experiences that cut through choice overload and win attention. Nowhere is this more evident — and important — than in the Middle East, where scale alone is no longer the differentiator.
How do we build more resilient power systems?
As power systems become more digital and interconnected, resilience must become a core design principle. Geev Mokryani explains why future grids should be planned to adapt and recover from increasingly complex disruptions.
Program pioneers | What does a program look like when it's built to evolve?
Funding pressures, changing priorities and evolving stakeholder needs are now part of the program delivery landscape. Program pioneer Suzanne McCormack shares the practical approaches that enable complex programs to remain resilient and focused on outcomes.
How can you use geodesign to build better cities?
Mary-Jane Wood combines design expertise with geospatial analytics to solve complex spatial challenges through evidence-based decision-making. She has worked on regeneration master plans and large-scale transformation strategies across Europe and the Middle East. Today, she uses geodesign, digital twins and KPI-driven dashboards to reduce risk and speed up approvals, keeping projects aligned to the right outcomes.
How can early clarity reduce underground risk on major projects?
Early understanding of ground conditions shapes the success of major rail and infrastructure projects. Colin enables clients and delivery teams to develop robust ground models, integrate multidisciplinary experience and make confident decisions through design and construction.
How can high‑speed rail programs be planned and delivered to stand the test of time?
High-speed rail programs span decades. Michael Jamieson works with clients to align objectives, stakeholder priorities and affordability so decisions made today support long-term outcomes.
How can strong technical leadership improve constructability of complex tunnel designs?
Strong, constructable design is critical to the success of large tunnel and rail projects. Leo provides technical leadership to simplify complexity and guide tunnel designs toward construction readiness with clarity and confidence.
Why intentional collaboration between water utilities and industry matters more than ever
As industrial water demand grows, utilities and industry must move beyond traditional service relationships. Discover how OneWater thinking and water reuse are enabling collaboration that supports economic growth while protecting long-term water resilience.
Closing the gap between BIM design and construction delivery in operational port environments
Integrating BIM and digital workflows into construction delivery enables project teams to improve coordination, reduce delivery risk and maintain operational continuity while delivering complex port infrastructure projects.
How can early risk identification support safer, more adaptable tunnel solutions?
Major tunnel and rail infrastructure projects are shaped by early technical decisions influencing flexibility and how risk is managed across a project. Anthony identifies and manages underground risk early, enabling more informed decisions from design through construction.
Desalination meets renewables: Designing climate-resilient water systems
Providing reliable freshwater from seawater desalination at lower energy and environmental cost is becoming more challenging. The next phase will be defined by how effectively systems are designed and operated as a whole.
How can flood and coastal assets be optimized to deliver the best whole-life value?
Patricia Nick works at the intersection of program delivery, digital and strategic asset management within flood and coastal erosion risk management (FCERM). She treats asset data as a strategic capability, linking performance, cost, carbon and risk so clients can make better long-term investment decisions.
