Introduction

There has been a significant emphasis and focus on infrastructure development in the country in recent years. Allocated budget from the state has consistently increased; unlike the earlier decades, infrastructure development is not concentrated in specific regions or states, but across the country, and remote regions which posed huge technological challenge for construction. Also, the country is not shy anymore to plan and build modern and futuristic infrastructure. Of course, much of these developments involve local and global private players, their investments, innovative partnership models and sharing of risks.
