The Labour Party has revealed its intention to merge the National Infrastructure Commission (NIC) and Infrastructure and Projects Authority (IPA) into a “new, powerful” body to “better support the delivery of major capital projects”, if it comes into power after the General Election.

The importance of constantly reviewing a major project’s delivery model has been highlighted as a key takeaway from the £19bn Crossrail project in a new independent report commissioned by government.

The long-awaited update to the National Infrastructure and Construction Pipeline fell short of the detailed plan that investors and the industry were hoping for.

The National Infrastructure and Construction Pipeline (NICP) has been published and shows confirmed investment in UK infrastructure over the next decade will see over 70% go towards energy and transport, while investment in water and sewerage will lag.

Use of artificial intelligence (AI), implementation of modern methods of construction (MMC) and a comprehensive pipeline of work should be “business as usual” in infrastructure delivery by 2025, according to the Infrastructure and Projects Authority (IPA).

The UK needs a new long-term rail strategy for the North after the cancellation of Phase 2 of High Speed 2 (HS2), according to the leaders of the National Infrastructure Commission (NIC).

The Infrastructure and Projects Authority (IPA) has said that delivery of High Speed 2 (HS2) Phases One and 2a appears unachievable, while East West Rail’s (EWR’s) outlook has improved.

A new report has detailed how a severe labour and skills shortage within the construction industry could greatly impact the delivery of the UK’s next National Infrastructure Construction Pipeline (NICP).

High Speed 2 (HS2) lacks mass public and political support because the project was not "well developed" or "well planned" before it was advanced, according to Infrastructure and Projects Authority chief executive Nick Smallwood.
