Infrastructure Project Management and Delivery

Theme: Spearheading efficient project management, effective utilisation of skilled labour and resources for successful project delivery and spend efficiency.

As per the planning commission, India plans to spend up to $1 trillion between 2012 and 2017 fixing infrastructure, which economists estimate shaves two percentage points from annual economic growth. With huge emphasis on infrastructure growth, successful project delivery and spend efficiency is imperative to realise the desired growth and consequent benefits.

While modest strides have been made in enhancing project delivery, projects are still burdened by serious time and cost overruns, misconduct, wastage, all within an inflationary environment. As per the report by KPMG and PMI, Out of 1035 infrastructure sector projects completed during April 1992-March 2009, 41 percent faced cost over-runs and 82 percent witnessed time over-runs.

Marcus evans brings its hugely successful 3rd edition of Infrastructure Project Management and Delivery conference where we would be addressing issues that the infrastructure sector is facing such as risk management, programme management, project management, inventory management, contractor relationships, funding issues and many more…

With emphasis on best practices and international case studies on project management for the infrastructure industry, the professionals will be able to take back practical examples of how to fast-track the projects and make their own projects a success-story! A conference that you definitely cannot afford to miss!

5th India Roads Conference 2012

Among the few that performed well in infrastructure last year is the roads sector. Inclusive growth will remain the underlying theme for the 12^th Five Year Plan. With a 4 per cent growth aimed in agriculture growth, Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh has announced that “In the 12th Plan (2012-17), we will pay special attention to the remote areas of our country and to rural areas. Connecting such areas by rail and road will get the top-most priority.”

The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), the National Rural Roads Development Agency(NRRDA) and the state road development corporations will be busy next year. A major part—about 20,000 km—of the National Highways Development Programme’s(NHDP) Phase IV will be bid out in 2012. On another front, the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY), targeted at covering rural habitations with motorable roads, will see a large augmentation in budgetary allocation in the 12^th Plan, and will be more aggressive. Many states have shown aggression in connecting their states, cities, towns and villages better next year.

While more projects likely to be offered next year on wards on an EPC model, experts forecast that many rural road projects may be awarded through PPP by bundling in packages: New pilot schemes including the “modified EPC basis” will be on the anvil.

How will our country achieve the objective that the Prime Minister has set? Practitioners in the roads and related industries will have a critical role to play, starting with a platform such as this conference to understand, analyse, discuss and recommend ways forward.

The 5^th India Roads Conference 2012 is scheduled to happen on 15^th & 16^th February at , New Delhi.

Theme: Connecting Rural with Urban India for Inclusive Growth.

Conference Chair: Day 1

Dr. J. N Singh, Member(Finance), National Highways Authority of India
Conference Chair : Day 2

Dr. Arvind Mayaram, Additional Secretary & Financial Adviser, Ministry of Rural Development , Government of India

l Premium bids in highways

l Rural connectivity plan analysis

l Aiming for quality construction

l Project management and monitoring processes in roads

l Financing highways and rural roads

l Viability of rural roads

l Tendering processes

l Should more expressways figure in future plans?

l Will “Modified EPC”, which operates like PPP, work better?

l What is the government planning to augment private participation in rural roads?

l Will rural roads projects achieve scale to attract competition from bigger players who can assure quality?

l How can the tendering process for awarding rural road projects be improved, especially as the segment is starting to attract bigger, national players?

l In what ways will enhanced connectivity multiply investments in cold chains and other rural segments?

Format

Our conference is headed by a Conference Chair, an eminent personality connected with the policymaking sphere relating to the industry. The Chair, along with Session Chairs, leads and summarizes the conference’s key points, and makes recommendations to policymakers and the industry.
ASAPP Conferences believes that interactivity at conferences results in better spread of understanding ground issues as well as in involving our delegates in discussions in regards to operations, technology and policy. Such interactivity also helps in evolving critical issues and taking them further in the form of recommendations. Consequently, the conference is replete with panel discussions, often involving delegate participation, and exhaustive Q&A sessions.
A typical session opens with the Session Chair’s lengthy introduction to the session’s main subject. This is followed by related addresses by the panelists in that session, a panel discussion, and Q&A. The session concludes with a comprehensive summary by the Session Chair
Our typical conference includes two coffee breaks and a lunch break during the day, allowing plenty of time for business and professional networking opportunities among attendees.

18th World Congress on Intelligent Transport systems-Orlando

The Intelligent Transportation Society of America, ERTICO-ITS Europe, and ITS Asia-Pacific has commensed  the  world’s leading transportation policy makers, technology, and business professionals in Orlando, Florida, from October 16-20, 2011 for the 18th World Congress on Intelligent Transport Systems, which  featured ITS America’s Annual Meeting & Exposition.

Indian Tollway’s Views From Orlando, Florida, USA

One senses a certain quiet excitement, a kind of diffused hurriedness about the place. And lots of people. With attendance estimates between 8,000 and 10,000, one thing that is not apparent are empty exhibit floor isles.

The five-day ITSWC conference began on Sunday, October 16^th with an evening kickoff event that featured Florida Governor Rick Scott and General Motors VP of R&D Alan Taub. While their speeches conveyed all the usual bits about reducing congestion, a cleaner planet, increasing safety and ITS funding, the emerging theme is decidedly high-tech. with emphasis on real-time telematics, in-vehicle ITS, and connected vehicle technology.

The conference offered more than 300 sessions, focused on topics such as highway & vehicle safety, next generation traveler information, consumer apps for in-vehicle and smart devices, congestion management, performance measurement, analytics, eco-management and many more.

The exhibition hall comprised two main areas. The first was a single hall layout of more than 35,000 square meters of exhibition space with more than 200 companies manning stalls. The second area was an impressive  outdoor pavilion themed into four areas: Safety Village, Environment Village, Pricing Village, and Mobility Village. These areas featured live demonstrations of connected-vehicle technologies, smartphone  driver awareness, first responder vehicle movement, V2I/V2V, collision avoidance through smart systems, intermodal tracking & clearance, interoperability, and a host of other live demos.

One of the most fascinating aspects of this conference was that it was perhaps the most clear indicator of ITS industry trajectory of any ITS conference this year. As expected, there are all the traditional components of ITS here, from software & communication systems to cameras, detection equipment, and VMS. These are certainly the backbone of ITS systems. But the clear stand-out in emerging components of ITS is Connected Vehicle Technology (CVT).

CVT may be seen as the next generation of ITS, one which will allow vehicles and roadway environments to communicated directly with each other. The US DOT estimates that CVT has the potential to mitigate (at least to some degree) a huge number of driver related crash scenarios – as much as 81%. In addition to reducing accident rates, CVT has the promise of lowering driving costs, reducing traffic congestion, and lowering individual vehicle emissions.

Few pieces on the same has been shown .
