The Standard for Infrastructure Construction
Owners, contractors, and specialty trades have relied on the Touchplan collaborative planning platform and detailed analytics dashboards to safely build more than 300 infrastructure projects.
Planning for mission-critical projects vital to economic development
Infrastructure projects are on the rise. Government legislation and investment, growing populations in urban areas, and climate concerns are some of the factors driving the growth of infrastructure projects. Capital infrastructure projects, including roads, railways, power generation and distribution, airports, ports, and others, grew by 10.7% in 2023, with a projected CAGR of 5% over the next several years.
Completing infrastructure construction requires meeting and surmounting significant challenges, including safety and environmental regulations, community relations, complex stakeholder requirements, labor and skills shortages, and the adequate performance of highly technical, large-scale construction.
Challenges facing infrastructure construction projects include:
- Complex Coordination: Infrastructure projects often involve numerous stakeholders, subcontractors, and tasks that must be coordinated efficiently.
- Schedule Optimization: Developing and managing a construction schedule for infrastructure projects can be challenging due to the complexity of tasks, dependencies, and resource allocation.
- Risk Mitigation: Infrastructure projects are often susceptible to various risks and uncertainties, including weather delays, material shortages, and unforeseen site conditions.
The Standard for Infrastructure Construction Planning
Touchplan’s collaborative planning platform updates all stakeholders involved in infrastructure projects in real time. Managers can accurately sequence tasks, keeping team members aligned and accountable for delivering the project on time.
Infrastructure projects like the rail work we are doing in Melbourne have to be planned to the “nth” degree, even before the project is awarded. Thousands of people’s journeys are disrupted by road detours, or need to take replacement buses instead of trains. Touchplan has allowed us to be better prepared.
- Innovations and Continuous Improvement Manager, Western Program Alliance
Touchplan allows infrastructure construction teams to:
- Provide a centralized platform for collaboration, allowing different teams to communicate, share updates, and coordinate tasks in real time. Touchplan’s interactive Gantt charts and digital planning boards streamline coordination among various parties, reducing miscommunication and delays.
- Utilize advanced scheduling features to optimize project timelines, identify critical paths, and allocate resources effectively. This helps project managers identify potential bottlenecks, allocate resources efficiently, and adjust schedules in real time to meet deadlines and budget constraints.
- Facilitate proactive risk management by allowing project teams to identify potential risks, assess their impact on schedules, and develop contingency plans accordingly. Touchplan lets users visualize the potential impact of risks on project schedules, helping mitigate potential disruptions and minimize project delays.
- Create top-to-bottom alignment of project data for visibility into trends, KPIs, and roadblock analytics across all infrastructure projects.
Learn how the Western Program Alliance uses Touchplan on a large-scale construction project to replace railway level crossings with safer bridges and underpasses and supply the city of Melbourne with new stations, track duplications, and car parking garages.
