In a globalised economy of world wide network transportation system, roads and highways are fuelled by rapid growth, economic interest and important socio-cultural implications. Governments and developers around the world have caught on the race to mastermind, create and develop roads to increase positive value proposition and potential growth to the country’s image and economic strength.
In this ever changing and challenging economy environment, customers have higher expectation on the capacity of public services that are provided. As for that, roads and highways around the world are addressing important challenges and concerns about sustainable urbanism issues to ensure that it is performing well and that government regulatory policy is appropriate and effective. Issues such as environmental and safety concerns are being duly addressed and benefits from investments in improved roads will be passed on to road users and the broader economy through responsive road transport services.
The marcus evans Roads and Highways will revolutionise innovative ideas by generating sustainable practices that is proven in best practices developed roads and highways around the world. This highly-interactive and information packed event will highlight global case studies from some of the finest and at the same time provide an excellent networking platform with the public sectors, global professionals and industry leaders who are all directly and involve with the growth and development of Roads and Highways
Don’t miss this opportunity to meet the line up of key international speakers and to network with a very niche and targeted group of delegates from across the world.

Follow your own agenda with a choice of 3 streams over 2 days:
The plenary sessions will identify how to capitalise on Government driven incentives to take advantage of and propel growth in the infrastructure sector. We will explore the significance of private sector participation and its implications on socio-economic growth and how to incorporate sustainable materials and innovative construction technologies in new projects. We will also examine the new funding initiatives by multilateral institutions, inclusionary policies and technology alternatives.
Stream I Public Private Partnerships & Financing Initiatives
This stream will cover the need for more PPP’s and financing initiatives while addressing topics such as to transfer appropriate risks, to deliver a project earlier and ahead of scheduled timeline, to gain access to improved services to achieve stakeholders expectation and explore other financing initiatives applicable to the private sector with PPP projects. At the same time, delivering significant improved public services, by contributing to increase in quality and quantity of investment. The ultimate goal of PPP is to bring mutual benefit for both the public and private sector i.e: the public sector looking for value for money by transferring risk to the private sector, the private sector looking to make money.
Stream II Sustainable Design & Construction
This stream will look at the maintenance issues and how about to achieve sustainable and effective operational management while addressing design benefits by increasing security and safety elements. It will explore intriguing aspect of asset management in its multidisciplinary approach from building the system to maintaining and operating what is current. Mean time, addressing topics that covers the full gamut of preservation and operation of the system and the whole range from preventative maintenance to reconstructing while placing a strengthened emphasis on operations to increase the life of the road and sustainable designs that make an iconic city.
Stream III Tolling & Intelligent Transportation Systems
This stream will be addressing innovative topics that will focus on tolling and intelligent technologies that will help compliment the business and operations of roads and highways. Topics ranging from management systems, RFID traffic signal controls, safety and security to predictive techniques of advanced modeling in roads and highways operations and tolling systems. The aim of this stream is to deliver the contributions of technologies to improve capacity, safety and environmental impact to existing and new roads initiatives
Third Day Workshop - InfraPro: Infrastructure Project Management
Ensuring that infrastructure projects such as roads, highways, etc projects are properly managed is extremely crucial. It is a major concern to the broad group of stakeholders ranging from the government, developers, architects, contractors, commissioners to the public at large. It’s simply not acceptable that these projects already on track are delayed or abandoned due to the lack of proper project management. Apart from the fact that these are crucial for the city and country; this will have a huge impact on economic growth and will weaken the capacity for such projects in the future as skills in the industry are lost.
Project management and delivery strategies can accelerate projects and facilitate the construction of roads & highway projects. This workshop will address the construction process from inception to completion. This will also apply to projects that involve maintenance, repair, refurbishment, decommissioning or demolition. This workshop is designed to improve collaboration and allow you to complete your projects on time and within budget. It will also help you improve efficiency and transparency at all levels of the project. The workshop will be applicable for projects of any size giving sound principles as a basis together with more specific recommendations that can be tailored to specific projects.
This event will provide you with strategic skills to manage your infrastructure projects effectively to enhance your ROI and bottom lines.
