P3s in particular have become a critically important way to provide infrastructure projects over the last two decades. P3s are in use in over forty countries. P3s in the United States are evolving in response to the public projects marketplace marked with tighter credit conditions and less government spending. P3s will not be suitable for all water projects. But the need for access to attract private sector financing for infrastructure development will support a significant role in many states for P3s over the next decade. We are supporting clients who create a P3 system for water projects that meets the new economic and risk models for the construction, financial sectors and federal, state and local governments.
