ho.ri.zon proj.ects
-noun
Infrastructure projects that remain on the planning shelves and drawing boards, typically within a public agency.
Reasons include political, technical, legal, environmental, commercial, and financial.
For the longest time, it had seemed to me the project was about to begin - a real infrastructure project. But there was always some obstacle in the way, some approval to be granted first, a study stalled, a community need unknown, a revenue stream to be guaranteed, a risk to be mitigated... Then the project would begin.
At last, it dawned on me, these obstacles were the project.
WELCOME
We move horizon infrastructure projects from the Government planning shelves to be shovel ready. We operate at the intersection of public agencies and the private sector, creating seats at the table for the right people to collaborate and step-shift projects forward.
We navigate complexity behind closed doors, introduce design thinking where traditional project management approaches stalled, re-think organization design for Infrastructure. Our superpower is joining the dots, synthesis thinking and collaborating beyond geographical and/or organizational boundaries. Most importantly we bridge the divide between the public and private sectors by being uniquely specialized in three divergent disciplines: civil engineering, public policy, and commercial strategy.
We understand the Government and private sector speaks different languages with divergent and engrained definitions of success. As an infrastructure advisory firm, we have built organizational expertise around the process that supports an innovative model of pre-project planning: The Infrastructure Incubator. In this model, Horizon Projects are isolated and streamlined for efficient pre-project planning.

Design thinking, independent and bipartisan, we collaborate, we navigate complexity and we solve with innovative financing and funding mechanisms.
Every project looks the same from 50,000 feet.
We are your
boots on the ground.

From planning shelves to shovel ready.
For the longest time, it had seemed to me the project was about to begin.
A real infrastructure project. But there was always some obstacle in the way, an approval to be granted, a study stalled, a community need unknown, a business case unwritten, a revenue stream to be secured, a risk to be mitigated… And then, the project would begin. At last, it dawned on me. These obstacles were the project.
Our vision is for a collaborative approach to the allocation of infrastructure funding.
Our mission is to empower asset owners to create a vibrant (regional) Australia. We do this through PIPE. Software designed by a civil engineer who calls regional Australia and Silicon Valley home.
Our goal is to move your projects from planning shelves to shovel ready, with funding.
PIPE is your project pipeline for building a better tomorrow.
