The value of infrastructure

Infrastructure is vital to our way of life and to economic growth in an increasingly competitive world.

Government needs to enable the flow of investment to deliver the projects in the National Infrastructure Plan. We must also attract the next generation of civil engineers to increase the capacity to deliver the infrastructure needs of the future.

Focus

The Thames Barrier flood protection scheme

ICE's focus on the value of civil engineering is seeking to achieve

  • For Government to produce a delivery timeline for the NIP “top 40” priority project list.
  • Prioritised action on finance and funding
  • Visibility of future demand, to provide the basis for a concerted effort to develop the skills and capabilities of the UK supply chain.

ICE called for Government to use the 2013 Budget to move the National Infrastructure Plan (NIP) from a rhetorical commitment to a programme of work that can deliver wide benefits in both the short and long term.
