Alan Pollard: Civil Contractors NZ CEO on the Government's planned review of the City Rail Link's cost
from The Mike Hosking Breakfast · host Newstalk ZB
City Rail Link cost concerns are re-igniting calls for a shake up to the way we approach infrastructure. The project's former boss Sean Sweeney claims the build could've been completed at half the estimated $5.5 billion. It sparked Infrastructure Minister Chris Bishop to announce a full review of the project after it's opened later this year. Civil Contractors New Zealand CEO Alan Pollard told Mike Hosking Sweeney's views line up with broader over-spending concerns. He says we have a tendency to favour bespoke design, whereas having a catalogue of standard designs would be much more efficient. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
