SUMMARY:Output & Performance-Based Contracts for Preserving Road Assets Executive Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Register NowDownload Program⚙️Overview📅 Agenda📚Instructor🏨Venue & HotelOverviewTraditional road construction and maintenance contracts typically compensate contractors based on unit prices for individual work items. While straightforward\, this approach often leads to suboptimal outcomes. Because contractor revenues are directly tied to the volume of work performed\, there is little incentive to optimize interventions or adopt more efficient methods. The result is frequently higher costs\, extended project timelines\, and inefficiencies in asset management. \nPerformance-Based Contracts (PBCs) offer a fundamentally different model. By linking payments to the achievement of predefined Service Level indicators rather than quantities of work completed\, PBCs create strong financial incentives for contractors to plan strategically\, innovate\, and deliver durable results. This outcome-oriented approach aligns contractor objectives with those of highway agencies\, promoting efficiency\, accountability\, and the long-term sustainability of road assets. \nThis shift toward performance-based approaches is closely aligned with global priorities for Sustainable Infrastructure Development. Leading international financial institutions and donor agencies—including the World Bank—are actively advancing these models through financing\, policy guidance\, and technical assistance. Their support reflects a growing recognition that well-managed road networks are essential to strengthening local economies\, facilitating trade\, and enhancing resilience. In this context\, performance-based contracting has emerged as a key mechanism for achieving lasting infrastructure and economic benefits. \nSeminar Highlights\nJoin a globally recognized Executive Seminar where international experts in contract management\, financing\, and sustainable transport policy will share best practices and case studies in performance-based contracting\, including a special session on the Georgia experience. The instructors include a team of experienced PBC experts and practitioners from around the world. The seminar features: \n\nA five-day program of targeted presentations\, country case studies\, and interactive discussions.\nA two-day schedule of technical site visits that bring real-world examples to life.\nComplimentary Access to the IRF Europe & Central Asia Regional Congress (September 30 – October 2\, 2026 – Tbilisi\, Georgia)\n\nLearning Objectives\n\nLearn how PBCs can play a key role in preserving your most valuable assets\nDevelop a Business Case for PBCs\nDefine and Measure Risk under PBCs\nSuccessfully manage the Client-contractor Relationship\nLearn the key implementation success factors\nGet exposed to global and regional PBC best practices\nDiscover solutions to road delivery and maintenance problems faced in your country\nReceive IRF Certification\n\nTarget Audience\n\nRoad and Transport Agencies Executives\nEngineers and Managers involved in Highway Maintenance\nInternational Financial Institutions\nPrivate Consultants and Contractors\nService Providers\n\nAgendaView the Performance-Based Contracts for Preserving Road Assets schedule & directory.\nInstructors \nDr. Asif Faiz | Advisor\, Asian Development Bank & World Bank\n\nDr. Asif Faiz is a former World Bank Highways Adviser and Infrastructure Sector Manager with some 40 years of experience in designing\, managing and implementing transport development policies\, programs and projects in more than 40 developing countries.

SUMMARY:Project Management for Infrastructure Projects
DESCRIPTION:Register NowAGENDADownload Program⚙️Overview📅 Agenda📚Instructor🏨Venue & HotelOverview\nThis 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. \nThe 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. \nOn 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. \n\nLearning Objectives\n\nMaster 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.\nNavigate 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.\nIncorporate 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.\nLeverage 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.\n\nTarget Audience\n\nCivil\, transportation\, and structural engineers\nProject managers\, construction managers\, and site supervisors in public agencies or private firms\nContractors\, subcontractors\, and consultants specializing in infrastructure\nPublic sector staff (e.g.\, departments of transportation\, public works\, procurement officials)\nProfessionals handling project controls\, risk management\, sustainability\, or asset management\n\nAgendaMonday – Friday (9:00 AM – 4:00 PM) \nView the Project Management for Infrastructure Projects schedule & directory.\nInstructorDr. Amin K.
