Prosperity and wellbeing
The challenges facing the infrastructure sector are more severe than at any time since the industrial revolution. Great infrastructure projects continue to be seen as feats of civil engineering: tunnels bored under cities or railway lines criss-crossing the country
But it is systems, and not structures, which provide the mobility, sanitation, energy and all other infrastructure services on which we rely. These systems are increasingly automated, interdependent and reliant on technology that is evolving rapidly. Yet many major infrastructure projects still do not adequately embrace systems in specification, design or delivery
At Aczel we help our clients:
- Create appropriate system architectures that remain valid for the life of the asset
- Commission the right programme and delivery mode
- Plan, design and deliver these system programmes, including management of the supply chains
- Transition the finished system to the operator and into successful service delivery
- Upgrade the asset performance throughout its life
