THE ENVISION RATING SYSTEM ®

THE IMPORTANCE OF INFRASTRUCTURE

THE REALITIES OF THE WORLD WE LIVE IN

A NEW FACT OF LIFE

Infrastructure provides: • A basis for public health • A quality of life worth living • Economic viability

• Aging Infrastructure • Population Growth • Diminished Resources • Climate Change

It is no longer enough that infrastructure work, that it be constructed on time and within budget, or even that it last. It now must be sustainable.

OUR MISSION

WHAT IS ENVISION?

WHAT MAKES ENVISION UNIQUE?

To help infrastructure owners make more informed decisions about the sustainability of their infrastructure projects Envision® is not a decision making tool… It is a decision making guide • Envision applies to all civil infrastructure • Envision applies to all project phases • Is designed to keep pace with a changing concept
