Watch: Rethinking Infrastructure Risk Webinar

With an ever-growing infrastructure pipeline, has project risk allocation become a risk all of its own?

Watch our on demand webinar to find out more. 

Australian State and Federal governments have committed a record $120 billion to fast-track infrastructure projects over the next decade. To meet delivery demand and attract new players to the market, we need to rethink how risk is allocated, managed and shared between owners and contractors.

In the first event of our new Infrastructure Insights webinar series, our panel of infrastructure specialists discussed the risk allocation issues they are seeing in today's market, and shared their insights on how proponents and principals can buck the claims culture trend.
