Path Forward

The Roadmap is integral to the future strength of the infrastructure. Fiatech members expect this project to continue with:

• Support from industry, associations, consortia, government agencies, and academia.
• Engagement of partners and funding to define and execute the project plans that deliver solutions that provide near-term benefits while achieving the long-term overall vision.
• Updating the goals and plans as progress is accomplished and as requirements evolve.

The Roadmap is a major component of this continuing process. The tactical plans will support activities. New projects will be launched to address all elements of the vision. Strategic performance measures will assess progress. Collaborating organizations will deliver pieces of the solution, and technology vendors will engineer their product lines to align with the needs. The result: a more efficient and capable capital projects industry.

Funding to achieve the vision will come from many sources. R&D organizations will secure grants to conduct research; companies will collaborate on proposals and establish joint ventures; government agencies will find ways to support critical enablers for the nation's capital infrastructure.
