- A novel framework for assessing infrastructure interdependencies is presented allowing rigorous identification of whole-life-cycle risks (e.g. cascade failures) and, uniquely, opportunities (e.g. co-locating assets or utilising waste). It unlocks additional value. The paper also describes application to the National Infrastructure Pipeline through an RAEng collaboration. It was funded by HM Treasury reflecting the national importance. The outputs were written into their ‘Guidance on Valuing Infrastructure Spend’. HM Treasury recommends all £600bn+ planned publicly funded infrastructure follow this. It has been applied to HS2 and the Lower Thames Crossing and was pivotal in securing support for £3.4m follow-on EPSRC project (EP/K012347/1).
