Infrastructure

Unlocking the Future of Africa: Mobility, Rail, Energy, and Connectivity

Economic output is directly tied to the ability to move people and goods efficiently and cost-effectively. However, developing—and maintaining—the necessary infrastructure is challenging, with planners and policymakers often balancing complex political, fiscal, social, and environmental trade-offs. Faced with large capital investments and increasingly strained public finances, stakeholders have a difficult choice: optimize an existing asset or build something new.

We combine a deep understanding of individual asset classes—roads, railways, metropolitan transport systems, airports, and seaports—with our industry knowledge and expertise. By drawing on our insights and applying best-practice tools and methodologies, we bring a fresh perspective to complex problems within the transport infrastructure industry.

What We Do

Planning, Financing, and Risk Management

We support clients on asset planning and prioritization, financial projections including demand modeling, economic and operating models, and contracting strategies to manage risk effectively.

Stakeholder Management and Project Organization

We ensure stakeholders are aligned and project outcomes are mutually beneficial while advising on risk and regulatory management throughout the project lifecycle.

Economic Value Optimization

We apply economic value-to-cost and market-to-market principles to maximize the value of infrastructure through proprietary tools and methodologies including engineering trade-off approaches, construction cost benchmarking, and cleansheet analysis.

Procurement Strategies

We optimize costs and align the incentives of downstream suppliers and subcontractors through our category consolidation approach and supplier training programs.

Public-Private Partnerships (PPP)

We provide comprehensive advisory services for structuring, negotiating, and implementing public-private partnerships that deliver value for all stakeholders while managing risk appropriately.

Commercial Excellence

We apply cutting-edge sales and marketing techniques to help clients understand customers, develop pricing tactics to optimize yield, and brainstorm fare and non-fare revenue strategies.

Environmental Studies and Impact Assessments

We conduct comprehensive environmental studies to ensure infrastructure projects meet regulatory requirements and minimize environmental impact while supporting sustainable development goals.

Feasibility Studies

We offer four comprehensive types of feasibility studies to evaluate infrastructure projects:

• Technical Feasibility: Assessing engineering requirements, technology options, and implementation challenges
• Economic Feasibility: Analyzing cost-benefit ratios, economic impact, and financial viability
• Operational Feasibility: Evaluating operational requirements, management capacity, and sustainability
• Environmental and Social Feasibility: Examining environmental impacts, social considerations, and stakeholder acceptance
