Project Management for Infrastructure Projects

Nov 9 - Nov 13

| Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Overview

This intensive 5-day course provides a comprehensive foundation in managing complex infrastructure projects, with a focus on roadway, bridge, and tunnel developments. Participants will explore the full project life cycle—from initiation through planning, execution, monitoring, and closure—while gaining practical tools in work breakdown structures, project delivery methods (Design-Bid-Build, Design-Build, ABC), contracting, prequalification, and bonds.

The program covers essential project controls, including time and resource management, scheduling, human resources, material handling, and resource leveling. Key topics also include risk identification and mitigation, cost estimating and bidding strategies, sustainability through LEED principles, and building resilience in infrastructure assets.

On the final day, participants examine the role of modern technologies—big data, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and asset management systems (BMSs and PMSs)—in enhancing project outcomes. Real-world case studies and discussions on constructability reviews ensure actionable insights that professionals can apply immediately to deliver successful, sustainable infrastructure projects.

Learning Objectives

  • Master the full project life cycle for infrastructure projects, enabling you to confidently initiate, plan, execute, monitor, and close complex roadway, bridge, and tunnel developments while creating effective work breakdown structures (WBS) and schedules.
  • Navigate project delivery methods, contracts, and controls with expertise, allowing you to select optimal approaches (Design-Bid-Build, Design-Build, ABC), manage contractor prequalification, bonds, resources, and risks to deliver projects on time and within budget.
  • Incorporate sustainability and resilience strategies, gaining practical knowledge of LEED principles and resilient design for roadways and bridges to future-proof infrastructure against environmental and operational challenges.
  • Leverage cutting-edge technologies in project management, including big data, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and asset management systems (BMSs/PMSs), to drive smarter decision-making and improve project efficiency.

Target Audience

  • Civil, transportation, and structural engineers
