W15 Fundamentals of Collaborative Delivery

Sunday, October 6

Collaborative delivery is the fastest form of project delivery in the water sector. With recent supply chain issues, cost increases, and difficulty obtaining contractor interest, utilities are increasingly choosing collaborative delivery for capital projects. Join industry experts for a day of interactive training, case studies, and discussion about how this process can improve the chances of project success.
