May 4, 2016 NACITE Luncheon

Presented by Adam Laughlin, P. Eng.

Presentation Summary

What does integrated infrastructure delivery mean? How will this be different from how the City of Edmonton delivered infrastructure projects in the past? What will this mean for transportation projects in the future? Adam Laughlin, the General Manager of Integrated Infrastructure Services (IIS), will answer these questions and more at ITE luncheon in May. He will discuss what factors led to the need to rethink how infrastructure projects were being delivered and explain the development of the department’s new Vision, Mission and Values. Using this framework, Adam will take a look forward to how current and future transportation projects will benefit from an integrated approach.
