Sustainable construction and project delivery methods are gaining significant importance across the world and marking a clear trend as governments and financiers toughen regulations and requirements aimed at meeting national and global environmental protection and social accountability policies. But what happens when infrastructure projects reach the end of their intended lifetime? Departing from the concept that decommissioning is not simply the reverse of construction, this session will explore the complexities, processes, risks, responsibilities and challenges derived from the increasing need to apply sustainability principles to project decommissioning, with a particular focus on their impact and feasibility on developing economies.
