Public-private partnerships (PPPs) can cut expenses, maintain service quality, and reduce time to completion. Lower cost is one of the primary motivations for PPPs, but they are better at reducing costs over time. When PPP contractors underestimate the long-term funding required for a project, they risk losing money later.
We analyze costs, create financial models, and run stress test scenarios to reduce PPP related risks. PPPs can lower costs for government agencies, speed up project completion, and give investors access to a new asset class. All of these benefits are within our reach when we work in partnership to find practical solutions.
While the roads require repairs, aging bridges pose a more significant threat. Almost 40% of bridges in America are over 50 years old, and more than 9% were structurally deficient.
Timely repairs can prevent disasters like the collapse of the I-35 bridge in Minneapolis that killed 13 people. That tragedy helped spark an increase in spending on bridges from $11.5 billion in 2006 to $17.5 billion in 2012.
We need to invest far more to bridge the gap. The federal government estimated that it would take $123 billion to completely repair all our nation's bridges.
The significant water infrastructure gap in the United States continues to grow, even as federal funding dries up. ASCE projected that the U.S. water infrastructure gap will grow to over $100 billion by 2025 and more than $150 billion in 2040 if we do not address these issues.
The water infrastructure gap is partly a product of the fact that state and local governments did not fully compensate for decreased federal funding. The impact of this underinvestment is likely to increase as the gap grows.

Addressing the Water Infrastructure Gap
There is a sizable water infrastructure investment gap in both the United States and around the world. In the U.S. alone, the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) estimated this gap to be about $80 billion per year. The economic consequences of this underinvestment in water infrastructure are considerable. By investing $80 billion more, it would be possible to raise total annual economic activity by around $220 billion.
