Original Abstract

Megaprojects, sometimes known as major projects or complex projects and services, are extremely large-scale investment projects typically costing over 1 billion EURO. Megaprojects include, oil and gas extraction and processing projects and transport infrastructural projects and even cultural events such as the Olympics. Megaprojects are united by their extreme complexity and by a long record of very poor delivery. Their inability to be designed appropriately and delivered on time and to budget has profound implications not only for the construction organisations delivering them but also for the client organisations commissioning them which are often governments spending public money. The portfolio of cases brought together in this book have been provided by members of the MEGAPROJECT COST Action. This is a trans-European research network dedicated to improving the design and delivery of megaprojects. The cases have been complied using a standard template to make it much easier to facilitate cross-case learning. The authors of individual cases are given at the start of each section and are very happy to be contacted if more information is required.
