(PRWEB UK) 24 August 2015 -- Container-carrying capacity has increased by approximately 1,200% from 1,530 TEU (1968) to 19,000+ TEU (2014-2015) and continues to grow. Ports know that they have to adapt infrastructure to accommodate this, but how do they ensure that these projects are delivered on time and within budget?

Industry professionals are set to gather at the Port Infrastructure Development event in a few weeks to discuss best practice planning, design, construction, delivery and asset management to manage costs and ensure maximum productivity. The event will look at the challenges faced through the full lifecycle of various projects from feasibility, design and construction right through to asset management and life extension of various structures.

  • Simon Brett, Head of Projects Humber, Associated British Ports
