Post Disaster

As climate change increases the frequency and intensity of disasters and associated infrastructure damage, Alternative Project Delivery Methods are well positioned to enable innovative contracting and partnering methods for designing and delivering adaptation solutions that are more time- and cost-effective. However, where conventional “build-back-as-before” post-disaster reconstruction occurs, communities remain vulnerable to future disasters of similar or greater magnitude. In this conceptual paper, we draw on a variety of literature and emergent practices to present how such alternative delivery methods of reconstruction projects can systematically integrate “build-back-better” and introduce more resilient infrastructure outcomes. Considering existing knowledge regarding infrastructure resilience, post-disaster reconstruction and project delivery methods, we consider the resilience regimes of rebound, robustness, graceful extensibility, and sustained adaptability to present the potential for alternative project delivery methods to improve the agility and flexibility of infrastructure against future climate-related and other hazards. We discuss the criticality of continued pursuit of stakeholder engagement to support further improvements to project delivery methods, enabling new opportunities for engaging with a broader set of stakeholders, and for stakeholders to contribute new knowledge and insights to the design process. We conclude the significant potential for such methods to enable resilient infrastructure outcomes, through prioritizing resilience alongside time and cost. We also present a visual schematic in the form of a framework for enabling post-disaster infrastructure delivery for resilience outcomes, across different scales and timeframes of reconstruction. The findings have immediate implications for agencies managing disaster recovery efforts, offering decision-support for improving the adaptive capacity of infrastructure, the services they deliver, and capacities of the communities that rely on them.

And Performance

Recent developments in both relationship contracting and non-traditional project delivery methods have had a substantial impact upon the way organisations within the Australian construction industry carry out their business to achieve successful project delivery. In the late 1980s, following a period of high-profile disputes, there was a trend towards a more co-operative and collaborative approach to contracting. It was during this time that the concept of partnering was introduced to Australia. Partnering in turn led to the development of relationship contracting. Relationship contracting has developed into a wide ranging concept which varies from informal agreements to work co-operatively for the success of the project, to the implementation of a pure alliance arrangement and, most recently, the use of ECI. The concept of relationship contracting brings with it a range of principles and concepts, which include: shared and common goals; pro-active objectives and key performance indicators; issue management and resolution processes; robust risk and opportunity management; probity and accountability; ongoing review and evaluation leading to continuous improvement and team building; plans and strategies for achieving stretched goals and outstanding performance; and, pain/gain or incentivised remuneration based on outcomes and performance. The need for relationship contracting in Australia has increased in recent years due to the substantial growth in construction activity, including a significant increase in the growth of gas sector work. Much of the construction activity has been carried out using a fast track approach in an environment where resources are limited. This presentation will discuss the development of relationship contracting and, in particular, will look at ECI arrangements and alliance delivery models for gas infrastructure delivery.
