“…Throughout the investment period, there is a flow of current payments related to servicing the current needs of an innovative construction project: the salaries of management and financial management, engineering and technical personnel, utility payments. The magnitude of these flows does not change over time, and is similar in character to the annuity investment flow [10]. Then the task of direct investment flow management is reduced to covering the current needs of an innovative construction project.…”

The article gives a model description of the management processes of the investment activity of a construction company that develops and implements innovative construction projects in the conditions of an acute shortage of external investment resources. Optimization of the series of managerial decisions for the construction of algorithms for managing the innovation and investment activity of a construction enterprise was carried out taking into account the functioning of the investment flow management system: soft management, risk management, crash management. The schemes of restructuring the production, investment and innovative structures of the construction enterprise are proposed. An investment model for the implementation of a specific innovative construction project has been developed and a number of management solutions that meet this model have been identified and designed to neutralize the effects of external adverse perturbations. The application of management solutions of internal, medium and external contours to the management system of investment flows of a construction enterprise as a part of specialized series is substantiated.

Although for civil engineering structures commercial assessment approaches such as the British CEEQUAL [1] or the American Envision [2] can be found, no sustainability assessment system specialised in railway bridges exists. Here, system specific aspects like construction types, corrosion protection systems and construction processes must be considered. There is a lack of systematic research showing the advantages of prefabrication, and a small number of rehabilitation activities within the operation stage both leading to fewer obstructions of the railway network. Especially interdependencies of building activities and the operation of trains should be analysed and integrated into the assessment. The paper discusses the approaches and methods essential for a holistic assessment of railway bridges. The special boundary conditions of the rail traffic (compared to road traffic) will be presented. Based on this, economic and ecologic impacts throughout the entire life-cycle are calculated and operation encumbrance costs caused by the interaction of construction sites and railway operation are shown. This is performed for three types of bridges: a thick plate through bridge, a composite bridge and a tied-arch bridge.

“…The rising demand for adequate infrastructure stock is taking a toll on the natural ecosystem [1][2][3]. Also, the quick pace of technological transformations experienced in contemporary society places undue pressure on infrastructure client organizations (ICOs) to devise ways to modify or provide the infrastructure which is compatible with such transformations in similar pace.…”

Conceptualizing Sustainability Governance Implementation for Infrastructure Delivery Systems in Developing Countries: Success Factors

Infrastructure delivery processes possess the potential to negatively influence sustainability. To curb the incidence of these processes within infrastructure delivery systems, the enthronement of an effective project management and governance framework becomes imperative. This led to the emergence of literature on sustainable project management practice. However, studies seeking to modify existing project governance structures in like manner remain limited. This study contributes to this emerging discourse on the utility of project governance competencies in facilitating sustainable infrastructure delivery. To achieve this objective, this study identifies critical success factors central to the design of effective sustainability governance structures of a typical infrastructure delivery (ID) system with the assistance of a cybernetic system framework—the viable infrastructure delivery systems model (VIDM). Adopting a qualitative multi-case study research design, this study deploys semi-structured interviews for data elicitation through purposively sampled interviewees within the identified cases and a document review. Qualitative content analysis (QCA) was deployed for data analysis. Findings from this study provide success factors for designing effective sustainability governance structures for ID systems. It is expected that the findings from this study will contribute to the emerging discourse concerning sustainability governance of ID systems.
