Established Deterministic Investment Appraisal versus Uncertainty
in Investment When it comes to investing in an infrastructure
project, the conventional approach is to evaluate risk through a
deterministic approach. Infrastructure Investment: An Engineering
Perspective, however, takes on uncertainty in investment. Of
interest to engineering consultants, government departments,
financial institutions, or anyone involved in investment in
infrastructure, this text provides the necessary tools for the
analysis and appraisal of investment in infrastructure and other
assets with uncertain futures. It factors in the finance and
engineering of assets such as roads, buildings, bridges, dams,
pipelines, railways, ports, seawalls, wastewater treatment
facilities, and addresses future demand, operating costs,
maintenance costs, and other lifetime and investment parameters in
both financial and non-financial terms. It considers the impact of
climate change and the possible use of adaptive and flexible
solutions capable of responding to changed futures, as well as how
such uncertainty affects the future performance of these
investments. The book also incorporates illustrated case studies
and Markov chains to model an investment. A pivotal work containing
11 chapters, this text provides: An original contribution to
feasibility analysis under uncertainty A systematic and ordered
treatment of capital investment in infrastructure A structured
flow, from a systematic treatment of conventional deterministic
approaches through to a complete treatment incorporating
uncertainty Infrastructure Investment: An Engineering Perspective
details investment analysis in the presence of uncertainty, and is
beneficial to students, academics, and practitioners dealing with
decision
