Atkins supports Mayor of London’s infrastructure plan - 30 July 2014

Atkins, has welcomed the publication of the 2050 London Infrastructure Plan, which aims to set out the Capital’s infrastructure requirements for the next half century.

London Infrastructure Plan

Alliance Blog

London Infrastructure Plan

The Mayor of London has today launched a consultation into London's first long-term infrastructure plan; 'London 2050, Bigger and Better'. The consultation on the proposals will run for three months before a report is published in early 2015.

The plan's scope covers all areas of infrastructure and aims to address the following questions:

- What infrastructure will we need?

- Where will it go?

- How will it be delivered?

- How will it be paid for?

The plan sets out the infrastructure requirements for the capital, highlights of which include 1.5 million new homes, a 70% increase in public transport capacity and an additional 9,000ha of accessible green space. Three options are provided for the location of development, based on three different models of growth. A new infrastructure board will lead on how the infrastructure is delivered. The plan calls for new funding streams, as the required changes would require a doubling in expenditure based on current levels.

The consultation document is accompanied by a handy 'guide' document and feedback is required, via a standardised questionnaire which can be found via the following link:

National Women in Engineering day: the battle to be taken seriously

While just over one in 10 of the UK construction workforce is female, women make up only one per cent of the manual trades. Indeed, the Office for National Statistics has noted that the number of women working as roofers, bricklayers and glaziers is so low as to be unmeasurable.

The perception is that construction remains a male domain, a perception reinforced by signs that read Danger: Men at Work, not Danger: People at Work.

A UAE Market Update

The Built Asset Blog

A UAE Market Update

The UAE has experienced a shifting momentum of activity over the past decade with 2009 onwards being difficult years for the market. After a timid 2013, the market is finally showing real signs of recovery and prospective growth suggesting that the construction market will remain strong this year.
The construction sector appears to be returning to near full-capacity, with a number of major megaprojects in the pipeline and the ramping up of social infrastructure spend. The UAE’s construction sector remains dominated by the emirate of Abu Dhabi and Dubai as both cities are the country’s key drivers. Whilst Dubai’s real estate market is looking stronger and more sustainable, Abu Dhabi’s market has remained stable through the first and second quarters of 2014. However, a growing pipeline of projects in the capital may increase construction spend in the latter half of 2014 and early 2015.
Construction inflation of which materials comprise one key component has been relatively stable in the first half of the year; however, we are expecting this to change in the second half of the year with single digit increases continuing through 2015. The concerns from contractors is realistic looking forward, however it is important to understand that the market is changing from a period of negative to low inflation over the last few years to a period of moderate increase and hence the concerns around the transition are inevitable.
We have witnessed an increased number of projects being re-energized due to funding being re-evaluated, and there are a number of large developments both within the property and infrastructure sectors, which are due to be awarded this year.
As the construction industry soaks up resources with the increase in workload, both labour and materials logistics supply become challenges that need to be handled. The UAE market has the benefit of a having a more developed infrastructure for both labour resources and materials handling and will see this fully exploited in the coming years. Furthermore, health and safety, welfare and human rights issues are increasingly being considered as the profile of the development grows; hence, we advise clients to consider the matter and relook at their own social responsibility and reputational risks.
The volume of announced and planned projects in the UAE in 2014 is expected to be valued at US$ 315 billion, and as of May 2014, US$ 212 billion worth of construction projects are currently under construction. Looking ahead, 2014 is expected to be the year in which the UAE’s construction industry returns to solid growth.

Brickmakers fire up production amid booming demand

Investors in UK's Michelmersh Brick Holdings look for news of expanding production amid pick-up in housebuilding and property boom

The hot property market and a pick-up in housebuilding is expected to have buoyed British brickmaker Michelmersh Brick Holdings when it reports half-year results on Monday.

The AIM-listed company has been ramping up production at its brickworks as builders complain of materials shortages now that the construction sector is climbing out of recession. Michelmersh, which is made up of centuries-old brickworks acquired since the late 1990s, has benefited from rising demand and prices.

Michael Gove's move - what does it mean for the sector?

Michael Gove's move - what does it mean for the sector?

The move of Michael Gove is a shock. There had been speculation about his future in Education but no commentators went as far as predicting that he would move. The surprise expressed by Michael Wilshaw evidences that his move had not been trailed or perhaps prepared for. Whilst as many people hated him as loved him there is no doubt that he was a consistent agent of change and everyone understood that he firmly believed in what he stood for. His departure leaves a vacuum until we see what position Nicky Morgan takes on key issues and how effectively she can argue her case with The Treasury.
The biggest question will be where this leaves the flagship Free Schools programme. Whilst it seems unlikely that the Government will abandon a programme that is broadly supported by Labour, Gove’s departure will cause concern and uncertainty amongst Free School sponsors whose interest and support is fundamental to the progress of the programme and to the resultant construction spending. As Free Schools have become more and more an effective mode of delivery of much needed school places, any blip in the programme could have the consequence of leaving children without school places in 2015/2016.
Gove was also a supporter of investment in repairing schools and removing the maintenance backlog, as announced in the August 2013 Infrastructure Statement which committed £10.3bn over the next parliament. The construction industry will have to hope that that commitment will be retained by the new administration.

Programme managing LEPs to success

The Government’s announcement of £6bn funding is another welcome acknowledgment of the significant growth and returns that can be driven by the UK’s regions.
Although a substantial sum, delivering sustainable growth by ‘joining the dots’ of activity will be all about taking a programme-based approach to delivery. Without a fully integrated programme in place, built around a clear vision & strategy and connecting all participants within the region as well as linking to the national agenda, the regions may miss a once in a generation opportunity to drive UK growth and support existing infrastructure programmes.
We must also recognise that none of this will happen without energetic, entrepreneurial and truly collaborative partnerships across public and private sector bodies and with local needs aligning with national strategies to reinforce Britain’s position as being open for business.
To find out more, click here to read my article about why LEPS and their partner councils should ensure that a programme-based approach to delivery is implemented.
