i-BUILD: Infrastructure BUsiness models, valuation and Innovation for Local Delivery

Lead Research Organisation: Newcastle University
Department Name: Sch of Engineering

Abstract

Our national infrastructure - the systems of infrastructure networks (e.g. energy, water, transport, waste, ICT) that support services such as healthcare, education, emergency response and thereby ensure our social, economic and environmental wellbeing - faces a multitude of challenges. A growing population, modern economy and proliferation of new technologies have placed increased and new demands on infrastructure services and made infrastructure networks increasingly inter-connected. Meanwhile, investment has not kept up with the pace of change leaving many components at the end of their life. Moreover, global environmental change necessitates reduced greenhouse gas emissions and improved resilience to extreme events, implying major reconfigurations of these infrastructure systems. Addressing these challenges is further complicated by fragmented, often reactive, regulation and governance arrangements. Existing business models are considered by the Treasury Select Committee to provide poor value but few proven alternative models exist for mobilising finance, particularly in the current economic climate.

Continued delivery of our civil infrastructure, particularly given current financial constraints, will require innovative and integrated thinking across engineering, economic and social sciences. If the process of addressing these issues is to take place efficiently, whilst also minimising associated risks, it will need to be underpinned by an appropriate multi-disciplinary approach that brings together engineering, economic and social science expertise to understand infrastructure financing, valuation and interdependencies under a range of possible futures. The evidence that must form the basis for such a strategic approach does not yet exist. However, evidence alone will be insufficient, so we therefore propose to establish a Centre of excellence, i-BUILD, that will bring together three UK universities with world-leading track records in engineering, economics and social sciences; a portfolio of pioneering inter-disciplinary research; and the research vision and capacity to deliver a multi-disciplinary analysis of innovative business models around infrastructure interdependencies.

While national scale plans, projects and procedures set the wider agenda, it is at the scale of neighbourhoods, towns and cities that infrastructure is most dense and interdependencies between infrastructures, economies and society are most profound - this is where our bid is focussed. Balancing growth across regions and scales is crucial to the success of the national economy. Moreover, the localism agenda is encouraging local agents to develop new infrastructure related business but these are limited by the lack of robust new business models with which to do so at the local and urban scale. These new business models can only arise from a step change in the cost-benefit ratio for infrastructure delivery which we will achieve by:
(i) reducing the costs of infrastructure delivery by understanding interdependencies and alternative finance models,
(ii) improving valuation of infrastructure benefits by identifying and exploiting the social, environmental and economic opportunities, and,
(iii) reconciling national and local priorities.

The i-BUILD centre will deliver these advances through development of a new generation of value analysis tools, interdependency models and multi-scale implementation plans. These methods will be tested on integrative case studies that are co-created with an extensive stakeholder group, to provide demonstrations of new methods that will enable a revolution in the business of infrastructure delivery in the UK. Funding for a Centre provides the opportunity to work flexibly with partners in industry, local and national government to address a research challenge of national and international importance, whilst becoming an international landmark programme recognised for novelty, research excellence and impact.

Planned Impact

The UK Treasury identified £250bn of upcoming infrastructure investment in its 2011 National Infrastructure Plan, while Local Authorities and Local Enterprise Partnerships are planning substantial investments (e.g. Newcastle CC's hundreds of £millions of planned infrastructure by 2030). The OECD estimates infrastructure investments in 2000-2030 will be ~ US$71 trillion worldwide, or 3.5% of Gross World Product.

The i-BUILD Centre marries new economic theories and methodologies with engineering to bring about changes to practice specifically to improve business decisions around infrastructure design, delivery and operation via (i) consideration of interdependencies and (ii) improved quantification of the social, environmental and economic value derived from infrastructure. Thus i-BUILD will contribute to improving wellbeing, increasing economic competitiveness, reducing risks of failure and improving environmental sustainability. i-BUILD's focus on delivery of infrastructure at the local scale (even if commissioned nationally) will also increase public awareness of the benefits of infrastructure development.

Early impact derives early deliverables and co-creation workshops, via which end users (covering engineering, business, and local and national government) will shape priorities in subsequent research. The main beneficiaries are:
1) Organisations, private companies, hedge and pension fund managers, countries seeking to invest in infrastructure.
2) Local authorities and Local Enterprise Partnerships who (via City Deals, the Localism Act) have increased powers to raise funds and invest in infrastructure.
3) Central government departments and agencies (e.g. Infrastructure UK, DfT, DCLG) involved in infrastructure planning, regulation and provision.
4) Utility companies responsible for operating and maintaining infrastructure.
5) Engineering and multi-disciplinary consultants, by informing their consultancy services in the UK and internationally.
6) Students at the 3 institutions.

Collaboration with the project partners will be managed to maximise impact by Rogers, who has extensive experience of linking research with practice in industry and government. An Expert Advisory Board will help steer the research and enhance dissemination and uptake, while our project partners will disseminate directly to the professional groups they represent.

i-BUILD supports the Research Councils in the delivery of their strategies: EPSRC - Delivering Impact (core to everything proposed), Shaping Capability (by creating an exceptional multi-disciplinary capability, building on an exemplary 10-year SUE base) and Developing Leaders (via formal and informal mentoring at all levels); ESRC - Economic Performance and Sustainable Growth (again at the bid's core), Influencing Behaviour and Informing Interventions (via i-BUILD's impact strategy) and A Vibrant and Fair Society (which a properly constituted infrastructure underpins). It supports the detailed strategies of Engineering (via the above, addressing all points under 'long-term sustainability of engineering research') and several Research Areas (e.g. Water Engineering, Energy Network, Resource Efficiency) across which the bid cuts.

The Pathways to Impact, developed in consultation with project partners, includes workshops (for dissemination and training), symposia and seminars that will make full use of our partnership's existing activities, while joint case studies and secondments with partners will maximise impact and relevance. A quarterly newsletter and the i-BUILD website will keep our project partners and the wider research and practice communities informed and attract new partners.

Through affiliated PhD students, funded from DTA and related IDC and DTCs in the partner universities, and research staff the i-BUILD centre will yield a new cohort of researchers with technical and multi-disciplinary skills that are sought in industry, business, as well as in academia.

Description Research from across the iBUILD Research Centre has identified five priority action areas to help governments and infrastructure policy-makers and practitioners 'Close the Gap' by unlocking better and more sustainable infrastructure business models. If applied to all infrastructure planning and decision-making, these action areas will help to challenge the "timid, uncoordinated, incremental, wasteful" way the UK currently plans, builds and manages its infrastructure, and should enable a new approach to be developed that delivers infrastructure systems and services that enhance the health, wealth and security of all UK citizens.

Priority Action Area #1: Adopt a broader, integrated and more holistic appreciation of infrastructure
Infrastructure systems are not just tracks, tubes and trunk roads. Failure to take a wider view and consider the resources that flow along these, the services they provide and the people and businesses that depend on them, will result in funding and financing models that do not deliver effectively. At the same time, it is crucial that we understand and appreciate how and why each element of these systems is interconnected. Every infrastructure system manifestly influences the performance of all of the other systems with which it interacts, not just technically, but also economically and socially. The UK's infrastructure is amongst the most mature and interconnected in the world, which means there is a pressing need to adopt a broad, integrated, holistic and sophisticated approach to infrastructure planning that also overcomes some of the problems of infrastructure sunk costs that can inhibit innovation.

Recommendation #1: Governments, advisors, infrastructure planners, financers, engineers and other stakeholders should use a broad, but appropriately specified, definition of infrastructure to identify and realise the full range of opportunities from alternative business models.

Recommendation #2: Housing and 'hidden infrastructure', such as efficiency measures, should be considered alongside the large-scale capital investments with which they interconnect, and within infrastructure and spatial planning processes.

Recommendation #3: Reforms in policy, institutions and regulation are needed to facilitate an integrated approach to local infrastructure that can identify, and exploit, synergies across different infrastructure sectors.

Priority Action Area #2: Enable greater action at the local scale that reflects the distinctive nature of place but also connects with the national level
Too much infrastructure planning and delivery is top-down, and yet all infrastructure has to go somewhere; it is inherently local, and 'place-based'. Top-down, silo-based approaches to infrastructure development and management prevent locally-led and innovative business models from flourishing and discourage innovation. There is also a risk, since the performance of all infrastructure is context-dependent, that the wrong infrastructure is put in the wrong place at the wrong time and in the wrong forms because of poor local knowledge, weak engagement and inappropriate ownership. These issues hinder the UK from maximising the returns from infrastructure investment. There are two returns - direct returns on infrastructure development and investment and indirect returns created elsewhere in the economy. The UK should invest in infrastructure to support inclusive growth, and accelerate the decentralisation of appropriate forms of infrastructure investment and responsibility to local institutions (including devolved administrations and Metro Mayors in England) so that local and regional infrastructure can better reflect the values and needs of the communities and economies it serves. Equally, local and regional infrastructure strategies need to be aligned with and embedded within overall national strategic frameworks, including the emergent NIA and Industrial Strategy.

Recommendation #4: Individuals and communities should have an Infrastructure Service Guarantee, ensuring a minimum level of service that is achieved with an engineering solution and business model appropriate to the local situation.

Recommendation #5: To maximise the effectiveness of local infrastructure business models will require greater local autonomy in the strategic planning, funding, financing and delivery of infrastructure.

Recommendation #6: The government must enable a wider range of national and local mechanisms for funding and financing. These include state-backed infrastructure investment banks, tax increment financing, municipal bonds, social impact bonds and crowd-source funding approaches. This will be increasingly important in the UK as it withdraws from the European Investment Bank.

Priority Action Area #3: Facilitate and capture all forms of long-term value
Infrastructure is not only about cash returns. Investment in infrastructure provides wider health, economic, cultural and environmental benefits for society; infrastructure has the potential to convert financial value into societal value. A new infrastructure valuation system that moves beyond benefit-cost analysis and recognises long-term, whole-life benefits is essential to maximise the benefits (i.e. infrastructure can be designed to best realise them) and to help build more resilient and inclusive economies and communities. Infrastructure must also be built for minimum whole-life costs. This might mean paying a bit more upfront for something that will last and serve society and economy for longer (generating gross future benefits) without the need for frequent (and expensive) maintenance; a robust and sustainable infrastructure is imperative.

Recommendation #7: Measures of social and environment value (benefit and cost) must be incorporated into infrastructure appraisal frameworks to achieve the widest possible set of mechanisms to capture revenue and other values.

Recommendation #8: Develop and implement a quantitative framework within the infrastructure appraisal process that can assess the value of flexibility and resilience across the whole infrastructure system over the long-term.

Recommendation #9: Resource assessments must become routine to identify the potential for land and infrastructure assets to generate long-term, stable revenue streams and sustainable growth, and not just one-off, short-term windfalls from selling-off capital assets.

Recommendation #10: Employ a new approach to infrastructure economics that recognises the long-term and system-wide value of infrastructure provision and the alternative forms of investment necessary to realise this value.

Priority Action Area #4: Deliver infrastructure more efficiently and with less waste by aligning organisational capabilities and applying circular economy principles
Approaches to, and decisions on, project financing, funding and delivery should not be chosen for political reasons alone. Mechanisms should be adopted that can best deliver desired economic, social and environmental values, regardless of their political flavour. Many of the methods and tools to enable this already exist: for example, the Project Initiation (Infrastructure) Routemap, Building Information Modelling (BIM) systems, and life-cycle assessment. Although the principles of the circular economy are well reported, their application to infrastructure is something we have pioneered, although much more needs to be done. These approaches support more efficient planning and procurement by public and private sector actors, improve adaptation and mitigation measures, minimise costs and labour, preserve the environment, and maximise the potential to reuse and recycle materials and components in the future.

Recommendation #11: The Project Initiation Routemap has demonstrated many cost reduction benefits and it should be made standard practise for all public-funded projects.

Recommendation #12: Infrastructure design should be grounded in circular economy principles to consider the whole life material and resource demands of infrastructure pipelines, to identify opportunities to reduce overall energy consumption and waste.

Priority Action Area #5: Accelerate uptake through practical action and demonstration
Actions often speak louder than words. Alternative approaches to infrastructure business models are emerging. However, in order quickly to identify the most successful approaches and encourage their wide uptake locally, nationally and internationally, demonstrator sites can support integrated infrastructure planning and testing of innovative infrastructure business models. Equally, alternative business models can be applied to existing, or proposed, infrastructure developments to establish whether added value might be realised. The uptake of these business models can be accelerated through practical action, demonstration and peer learning, including the increased fostering of city-to-city learning.

Recommendation #13: Establish full-scale urban demonstrator sites for applied research into integrated infrastructure planning and testing of innovative infrastructure business models.

Recommendation #14: Experiment with alternative iterative engineering solutions to the problems that infrastructure seeks to address and create alternative business models to support them, thereby creating a portfolio of options for investment and value delivery.
Exploitation Route We have released our key findings as a non-specialist report: 'Closing The Gap'. A number of engineering firms and utilities are exploring how they can further apply this work to live infrastructure projects. To support this process we intend to write up two other externally facing reports/books: (i) An Encyclopedia of Business Models; (ii) The Integrating iBUILD Business Models Framework. We are also working with the National Infrastructure Commission who are considering how to deliver the national infrastructure strategy, and HM Treasury to identify opportunities to further update their Green Book guidance to incorporate our latest findings.

PI Contribution The Liveable Cities research team provided a suite of methodologies for enabling the better design and implementation of city interventions. The IAA award was used to trial these with different organisations; Birmingham City Council, Bristol City Council and Costain most intensively.
Collaborator Contribution Costain (a major civil engineering contractor) sent several delegates to a workshop to receive presentations on the methods, debate them in detail and work out how they might be applied to their core business. Individuals from Costain then contacted specific Research Fellows to advance their application of the thinking in Costain projects (e.g. street lighting in Sussex). Birmingham City Council provided staff time and case study sites.
Impact The primary outcome was always to educate and train professional staff in a different way of thinking and approaching their work. This was achieved, whether it was designing street lighting in Sussex, maintaining street trees in Bristol, designing green interventions in Birmingham or delivering a low-carbon energy zone in Coventry. The methodologies deliver greater social and environmental value. As new programmes of research are being proposed, we now have ready-made and willing collaborators to co-create proposals. This collaboration was multi-disciplinary, involving Construction, Transport, Environment, Infrastructure and Urban Systems, Health & Wellbeing, and Governance.
