Planning & financing
Public infrastructure needs are becoming increasingly larger, more complex and now cross-border, leading to “megaprojects”—huge projects to improve public utilities and passenger transportation that take years to complete and cost billions of dollars. The resulting projects need new partners. CDPQ Infra stands out by playing this role for financing and design. These two perspectives allow us to define well-thought-out, realistic projects that meet specific requirements.
Development & execution
CDPQ Infra acts as the sole partner for all phases of a project. Present from A to Z, our teams develop an overall perspective that provides more agility and better knowledge sharing. This approach facilitates the effective implementation of projects. It also provides more flexibility, with the possibility of making improvements along the way.
Engagement & communication
The success of a project does not depend solely on economic criteria. It must also be socially accepted by the public. From the planning phase, we organize meetings to inform the communities and the stakeholders, get their input and improve projects. We continue this transparent approach through the construction phase so as to inform the steps and answer the public’s questions, whether during neighbourhood committee meetings or via an active presence in the field and on social media.
