About half of U.K. infrastructure organization executives expect their sector to return to pre-pandemic levels by the fourth quarter of next year, according to a new survey. But after COVID 19, 56% of senior decision makers see the U.K.’s final separation from the European Union this December as the next significant challenge, followed by achieving net zero carbon by 2050.
The report by the Atkins unit of SNC Lavalin portrays a largely resilient industry, based on data from interviews with 398 executives in companies working in the infrastructure sector. Two thirds were asset owners while contractors and design firms accounted for about 20% each.
