UK Infrastructure Conference (UKICE)

Infrastructure projects to be discussed at the Institution of Civil Engineers in London on 5–6 December

MANY of the UK’s most respected infrastructure experts, main contractors and asset owners will meet in London next month to discuss the National Infrastructure Plan, announced by the Government in November last year.

The UK Infrastructure Conference and Expo (UKICE) is a two-day meeting between the UK asset owners and operators (energy, transport, information and communication infrastructure, water and waste) and the main contractors, alongside the project investors to discuss the implementation of priority projects for 2013.

Held at the Institution of Civil Engineers at One Great George Street in Central London from 5–6 December, the organizers believe that as the UK’s first fully comprehensive infrastructure industry event focused on project implementation, UKICE will become the private and public sector showcase for future UK infrastructure development.

The event is designed as an unparalleled platform for central and local governments, businesses and leading experts to meet, discuss and source solutions for prioritization, procurement and presentation of existing and future infrastructure projects across the country.

More than 100 projects from 39 regions of the UK and Wales will join the event, including: HS2; Crossrail; Thames Estuary Airport; Widening of the A14; New nuclear build by EDF; Waste-to-energy power plant by Oxfordshire County Council; Broadband infrastructure from the Cornwall Development Company.

Stanislava Blagoeva, managing director of UKICE, said: ‘The conference will provide meaningful and valuable insights to the infrastructure market in the UK. UKICE is the only event where asset owners meet with industry regulators, government officials and main contractors, as well as infrastructure investors and financiers from all over the world.
