Design and Construction Error Mitigation in Infrastructure Projects

在基础设施项目的设计和施工过程中犯下的人为错误使成本增加了25%。在发生工程故障和生命损失的情况下，与此类错误相关的成本将大大增加。这项研究将开发一个模型，可以用来减少错误，提高基础设施项目的性能和安全性。错误的减少将减轻纳税人因成本超支而承受的财务负担，并提高组织的盈利能力。这将带来更大的投资，并对国内生产总值(GDP)做出贡献。

Human errors committed during the design and construction process of infrastructure projects increase costs by as much as 25 per cent. The costs associated with such errors would be significantly higher in the event of an engineering failure and loss of life. This research will develop a model that can be used to mitigate errors and improve the performance and safety of infrastructure projects. A reduction in errors will reduce the financial burden placed on taxpayers for cost overruns experienced as well as improve the profitability of organisations. This will lead to greater investment, and contribution to gross domestic product.
