Tolling Operator
After considerable capital investment in a project, well-managed ownership, operation and disposal of assets is critical to overall project success to ensure business case objectives are met.
Asset management requires strategies in sustaining public infrastructure and private assets, taking into consideration the depreciation, maintenance and rehabilitation of each asset.
Comprehensive asset management is built on a foundation of technical engineering knowledge, project objectives and value-for-money maintenance solutions.
We understand that a systematic approach to the governance and realisation of value from assets over their whole lifecycle is critical.
We provide comprehensive advice for all aspects of infrastructure asset management during the entire lifecycle - including design, construction, commissioning, operating, maintaining, repairing, modifying, replacing and decommissioning/disposal.
Our approach is to determine client objectives and deliver outcomes that enable informed business decisions.
Simple contract arrangements that protect commercial interests and clearly identify the obligations for all stakeholders provide certainty and minimise risk.
Contract administration is about all parties understanding what is required of them. Issues that are solved at the coalface and are managed progressively, result in superior outcomes and improved relationships.
Our approach is to determine the commercial risk and liability outcomes to assist clients in obtaining the best solution to suit business objectives.
We can advise at any stage of a project’s lifecycle across all contract forms for both the private and public sector, offering advice that is practical, timely and tailored to achieve results.
Effective infrastructure cost estimating prior to project commencement, and the management of costs throughout delivery are essential for project success.
We have undertaken first principles cost estimates across numerous sectors and industries, advising on costs at each stage of a project’s lifecycle.
We expertly identify cost and commercial risks during the estimation process, identify appropriate management strategies to reduce (or to remove) unnecessary costs, and ensure knowledge is shared to enable clients to make informed decisions.
As projects continue to increase in complexity due to technology and innovation, these elements bring both opportunity and risk.
We take a hands-on approach and can facilitate consultation and negotiation with stakeholders, including community organisations, government and traditional owners.
Effective infrastructure risk management is critical to organisational and project success, minimising unexpected costs and forecasting potential issues.
Identification, evaluation and prioritisation of risks ensures organisations can identify risks before they become an issue, and allows for opportunities to be identified and realised.
We have developed risk management processes, implemented systems and monitored risks for organisations and projects across a range of different sectors, and are experienced in the application of ISO31000 and other risk management systems.
In managing risks across a broad range of projects, we have directed risk and opportunities workshops for a variety of clients – each designed and managed in a way that is unique to their business needs.
Best practice project management, unique governance structures and organisational risk appetite drive the development of project or portfolio risk management systems.
These systems and frameworks allow teams to manage and escalate risks and opportunities to executive management and boards to maintain transparent reporting and provide confidence to all stakeholders.
We provide strategic dispute resolution solutions across a wide range of industries during the project delivery phase to avoid expense and project disruption.
Where disputes cannot be avoided, we have the expertise to support a range of resolution methods in consultation with legal professionals, including mediation, expert determination and arbitration as required.
When engaged, our approach is to determine the commercial risk and liability outcomes available to assist in obtaining the best solution.
We support our clients at every stage of a project lifecycle across all contract forms, including cost plus margin, lump sum, design and construct, and alliance/collaborative partnership arrangements.
We develop strategies to manage dispute risk through sound, reliable and robust analyses during each stage of a project, including procurement and commercial agreements, delivery or project completion negotiation.
