Discover how Australia is laying a foundation for the future by building better infrastructure. As it enters a new decade as one of the world’s fastest growing western countries, Australia finds itself at a crossroads: To maintain our prosperity, liveability and growth we need new roads, railways and renewable energy sources. Smarter infrastructure, based on concepts like collaboration, education and innovation, means a better Australia for future generations. Webuild’s ‘Infrastructure in Action’ podcast series engage some of the world’s best engineering minds to discuss the future of infrastructure and how to work with clients and communities to build a stronger Australia for generations to come.

  1. SEEING THE GLASS HALF FULL: THE BENEFITS OF A MORE COLLABORATIVE APPROACH TO INFRASTRUCTURE DELIVERY

    EPISODE 1

    SEEING THE GLASS HALF FULL: THE BENEFITS OF A MORE COLLABORATIVE APPROACH TO INFRASTRUCTURE DELIVERY

    What are the secrets to smarter, more sophisticated infrastructure?  Better project delivery models are as important to successful infrastructure as innovative solutions are to technical engineering challenges.  A more collaborative approach to the delivery of infrastructure megaprojects maximises value, minimises risk and leads to better project outcomes.  In the first episode of our ‘Infrastructure in Action’ podcast series dedicated to Australia, we discuss megaproject success stories and discover together the secrets behind their success.

    EPISODE 2

    ENGINEERING STRENGTH FROM DIVERSITY FOR INFRASTRUCTURE: WOMEN DRIVING INNOVATION IN ENGINEERING

    In the second episode of our Infrastructure in Action Podcast series, Webuild’s Guido Cacciaguerra hosts Prof. Sandra Kentish from The University of Melbourne’s Melbourne School of Engineering to discuss the growing importance of women in the delivery of infrastructure megaprojects in Australia. The current situation of underrepresentation of women in engineering and construction has both a symbolic and compounding effect, which institutionalises poor attraction and retention of girls and women in STEM from an early age. Guido and Sandra discuss the ways in which greater female participation in STEM courses, such as civil engineering, can be achieved, how it will lead to a stronger and more diverse infrastructure sector and, in turn, Australia’s ability to maintain its prosperity and liveability.
