Spanning oil and gas, power generation, renewables, and a resurgent nuclear sector, energy projects are among the world’s most capital-intensive and technically complex. The industry faces unprecedented demand as electrification and compute-driven load growth outpace available capacity.

Digital infrastructure (including data centers, AI factories, and the fiber and power systems that connect them) is expanding at extraordinary speed, with hyperscale developers now delivering dozens of multi-hundred-megawatt campuses simultaneously across the globe. Speed to market is critical, yet progress is constrained by scarce land and power, along with severe supply-chain bottlenecks affecting generators, semiconductors, switchgear, and other essential equipment.

The roads, bridges, railways, water systems and public works that underpin economic activity represent an enormous global investment pipeline. Yet the scale, long delivery timelines, and exposure to permitting, stakeholder complexity, and variable site conditions make these projects especially vulnerable to multi-year delays and significant cost overruns.
