Infrastructure Standards

Building a safe environment that supports communities

Infrastructure is a generic term that includes the physical systems of a business, community, country or nation. It includes, but is not limited to, transportation systems, water and sewerage systems, electric and telecommunications systems, and much more. 

Critical infrastructure helps to develop sustainable functionality of a place. Infrastructure management and development work towards providing a system that improves the lives of those in that business or community. For example, developing a rail system to create better, more efficient transport options enabling a community to utilise shared resources.

These critical infrastructure systems must work to meet set benchmarks for performance to ensure the safety, quality and integrity of a project are met. This directly affects the employees, performance of a business and the safety of the community.

To help meet these benchmarks, Standards guide organisations throughout every stage of a project including the construction, management and maintenance of the infrastructure used in society. From project planning to essential elements of a building and the materials used, Standards provide the framework to form sustainable and safe infrastructure development.
