Lunch lecture Infram B.V.

Title: Constructing Infrastructure is like zigzagging.

Subtitle: How to manage large infrastructure projects in the Netherlands: case studies of the Zuidasdok and flood defences in the Northern Maasvalley in the province of Limburg

Description:

Edward van Os is a managing partner at Infram B.V. After graduating from his Master degree in Civil Engineering and Management at the University of Twente he is specialised in large infrastructure projects. He has been working on various projects like Zuidasdok, Rijlandroute, the kilometre price and the broadening of the A1. Over the last few years Edward is involved in the reinforcement of 15 dikes in the Northern Maasvalley. His experiences with earlier projects are the key to success to make this huge project a success. Edward will tell you how engineering, the local society, contract management and plan procedures come together in one project and shows the importance of good project management. Furthermore he will share his experiences 1) on working together in a great team, 2) how the inhabitants of a small village in Limburg stalled the construction of a flood defence and 3) how to involve these inhabitants, such that the region of the Northern Maasvalley, in the end, is safer and more beautiful.
