About us

Transforming the planning, delivery and management of sustainable infrastructure for future generations.

We develop advanced solutions to integrate whole-of-life, and whole of society implications into the development of new infrastructure, and improved management of infrastructure that already exists.

What is infrastructure?

Infrastructure encompasses all the ways people modify and inhabit the landscape, to live, work and play. It includes the structures created to connect people, providing critical services such as power, water, transport and telecommunications. The decisions we make today about this infrastructure will affect many generations to come, shaping our towns and cities, and our lives. Future Infrastructure will be sustainably designed and maintained.

Why is it important?

Sustainability is an essential design criterion for any new infrastructure, with a whole-of-life approach needed, from the sourcing of materials, construction, operation, maintenance and eventual decommissioning. We need detailed evaluations across multi-generational timelines to optimise the operational life and returns on investment.

The coronavirus pandemic in 2020 has brought about a fundamental shift and re-evaluation of the ways we interact with our built infrastructure and with each other. The integration of infrastructure data from diverse sources is accelerating, for example across multiple government departments.

This shift provides an opportunity to undertake virtual design and evaluation of construction to test the impacts of different scenarios on the project at hand, and on the broader environment. This extends to the operation and maintenance needs of infrastructure, and from prefabricated building components to mega projects such as new underground railway networks.
