Our focus areas
We provide a suite of infrastructure services, technology solutions, and supporting assets, drawing from leading practices and market insights gained through years of experience engaging with the public sector across all levels of government.
Infrastructure services
The core services we offer as a part of our infrastructure advisory capabilities include strategic planning and management, capital program oversight, finance and alternative delivery, grants management, construction, cybersecurity and technology enablement, and human capital.
Through this all-inclusive offering, Deloitte’s Infrastructure Advisory practice assists infrastructure owners, operators, and governments as they prioritize infrastructure objectives, utilize tools for data-driven decision-making, and effectively leverage capital. Deloitte supports these critical tasks by helping clients strategically align investments, formulate short- and long-term plans, and position agency priorities to align with the mission.
As clients launch initiatives to achieve strategic objectives, Deloitte’s advanced program management frameworks and experienced professionals guide sophisticated infrastructure projects by factoring in economic considerations, asset life cycles, and evolving market dynamics. This enables clients to identify optimal approaches and adapt to evolving regulatory environments.
As infrastructure and construction owners create solutions that meet the objectives of local stakeholders, Deloitte’s multidisciplinary team, including infrastructure professionals, engineers, construction specialists, financial advisers, economists, and data scientists, is committed to advising government agencies and infrastructure owners throughout the asset life cycle, turning construction risk into construction confidence.
Through intentional capital program oversight and capital project consulting methods—including Deloitte’s Strategic Portfolio Management—we can help bridge the gap between leadership (strategy, finance, risk, etc.) and construction (design, engineering, and onsite execution) to drive complex infrastructure programs to completion and provide intended results for stakeholders.
Infrastructure owners and governments should be intentional about compliance and risk reduction to address the evolving market and regulatory environments. Deloitte guides clients in boosting operational efficiency and program transparency through the development of sustainable compliance, governance, and regulatory oversight programs.
Additionally, to promote program integrity, Deloitte focuses on program efficiency and effectiveness by advising clients on detecting, preventing, and responding to fraud within the program execution through the employees, beneficiaries, and third parties.
As infrastructure owners and government leaders plan infrastructure projects, Deloitte helps them navigate the complex funding and financing environment. With demonstrated leadership from conceptualization to delivery, Deloitte’s professionals identify funding sources, conduct risk and funding gap analyses, and guide stakeholders through complex procurement processes and market interactions.
Our Infrastructure and Capital Projects practice is devoted to the sustainable management of infrastructure assets encompassing the infrastructure’s life cycle. The team analyzes each asset to ascertain if it’s properly maintained to meet or exceed performance and mission requirements in a reliable, sustainable, and cost-effective manner and to properly fulfill its specific role as an enabler of the country’s economic, environmental, and social growth and well-being.
Deloitte provides grants management services to more than 30 state and local governments, guiding them through large and complex federal assistance programs. Our approach is integrated and broad, with capabilities that include opportunity identification, grant application prioritization, and full grants life cycle management for state and local governments to catalyze infrastructure investment.
Deloitte advises clients on new techniques for analyzing, prioritizing, financing, and creating greater visibility into infrastructure projects while facilitating improvements in cost, schedule, and delivery quality. Project and portfolio prioritization, program funding, technology, smart infrastructure, and governance and delivery are the major pillars that provide a strategic framework for our services to government organizations.
With professionals in industrial manufacturing, aerospace and defense, and engineering and construction, Deloitte offers clients deep industry insight and integrated approaches. Our host of efficiency- and productivity-enhancing technologies and services assist decision-makers to understand the health of their capital investment programs.
Today’s digital world requires significant cyber and information technology skills to prevent and mitigate threats to critical infrastructure. Our suite of cybersecurity and technology enablement capabilities assist clients in their readiness for complex challenges and aid in closing gaps in cyber services.
Deloitte’s services are designed to help organizations enhance their ability to plan and execute on an integrated cyber approach to harness the power of information networks. This may enhance business operations through innovative technology solutions focused on increasing mission performance, without compromising security or privacy.
Artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, digital twins, and data analytics have emerged as critical tools that leading transportation and infrastructure providers are considering to achieve their strategic goals. These approaches also provide these organizations with facilitated, transparent, and data-driven decision-making. Enabling AI decision support systems for real-time and predictive multimodal systems operations is critical to the efficient operation of today’s transportation systems. These tools also illustrate how incentives may be dynamically presented to transportation users, while behavioral science may be used to shape network demand through these incentives, nudges, and loyalty programs. These tools and techniques offer tremendous opportunities to shape the demands on today’s multimodal transportation networks.
The next generation of business challenges creates a new wave of human resources, talent, and organizational management priorities for the public sector—opportunities for leaders to reimagine how they work, grow, and train their workforce and support their physical and/or digital workplace.
Deloitte’s human capital approach focuses on advising organizations on how to thrive while managing and sustaining performance through an important asset: their people. Our efforts help clients to unlock human potential and create organizations that are resilient to risk, fit for the future, and grounded in meaning for their workers.
