Background
CIRIA recently launched the National Infrastructure Client Leadership Group bringing together some of the largest UK infrastructure providers from the transport and utilities sectors, including Crossrail, Environment Agency, Gatwick Airport, Highways Agency and Thames Water, to facilitate cross-sector dialogue between infrastructure clients in order to identify common challenges & opportunities.
As part of CIRIA’s Civil infrastructure theme, with backing from CIRIA’s Council, we are taking forward a series of new activities to promote good practice and innovation in infrastructure delivery and management. Details of these activities, including the new client leadership group are available at www.civilinfrastructure.org
