Where are you seeing the most significant changes in the construction and infrastructure space today?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Honestly, it\u2019s everywhere\u2014but particularly in the construction industry, which is the space I know best. Construction has always pushed the envelope\u2014an example is what we call \u201cvalue engineering\u201d\u2014 innovating to optimise outcomes by keeping costs low while enhancing project value and exploring alternative designs, materials etc. Today, I see the most significant shifts in three areas: renewables, the digital economy, and grid infrastructure. For example, in developed countries, our grids are outdated and need massive investment in expansion and upgrades. They were designed to radiate from traditional thermal power sources like coalfields or ports for oil and gas imports \u2014not for today\u2019s energy mix of renewables, small nuclear reactors, hydrogen, or ammonia. That shift requires us to redesign networks entirely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>You\u2019ve used the phrase \u201crapid innovation\u201d before. What does that mean in this context?<\/strong><br>We\u2019re in a moment where demand is outpacing supply. Everyone wants the latest tech\u2014now. That\u2019s forcing companies to push products and systems to market before they\u2019re fully tested. Instead of derisking the application of new technologies through extended testing in controlled factory environments, we are learning how they perform live once they are installed on site.&nbsp; We then find they need to be fixed in challenging environments \u2014like a construction site in the North Sea \u2013 far from the resources needed to perform the fix and invariably in jurisdictions with more stringent controls over labor conditions. This race to deploy faster comes at a price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>That kind of speed must have implications for construction standards. How do you define \u201cstate of the art\u201d when technology moves so fast?<\/strong><br>That\u2019s exactly the issue. Contracts often use terms like \u201cstate of the art\u201d or \u201cworld-class,\u201d but what do those mean when today\u2019s best is outdated by tomorrow? A great example is a UK dispute where offshore wind turbines were designed using proven design standards developed for oil platforms. But turbines are dynamic structures \u2013 the blades rotate; platforms don\u2019t.&nbsp; A flaw in the design by a factor of ten meant that foundations that were supposed to last 20 years, failed in under two. The lesson? Whether it\u2019s new tech or existing tech used in new ways, the margins for error are small and the potential exposures are huge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Let\u2019s talk about the contracts. How is this wave of tech disruption changing legal agreements?<\/strong><br>They need to evolve, but it requires the industry to move out of the comfort zone of the known risk allocations of existing procurement models and standard form contracts so many haven\u2019t caught up with the practical realities experienced on these projects. The legal system moves slowly, while technology moves fast. For example, the records relied on in resolving disputes used to be formal project correspondence, reports or meeting notes. Now, so much of the day to day communication about what is happening on site is through WhatsApp messages or common records stored on shared databases. Offshore wind is another example: early contracts adapted contracts for onshore wind projects with a few clauses thrown in to deal with the marine spread (the vessels). But offshore is completely different\u2014the project is driven by vessels, weather and local environmental issues\u2014all of it changes how risk needs to be managed. Contracts need to reflect that reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What about in the digital economy\u2014like data centres?<\/strong><br>That\u2019s where we really need to think differently. If a data centre fails and the end user cannot access its data, it is catastrophic.&nbsp; We have become so reliant on instant access to data on computers and have seen how power failures shut down Heathrow airport and the Iberian peninsula\u2019s economy. When that happens, its no longer a fight about who bears the cost of fixing what\u2019s broken; its about who bears the consequential losses like lost profits etc. \u2013 the very costs that most standard form contracts seek to exclude. We need to move away from focusing on a \u201crepair obligation\u201d mindset and focus on fail-safes and redundancy. Before you hand over your data, you want near-zero failure probability. That demands a very different contractual regime and performance standard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How do you advise clients when these risks materialise and you\u2019re already in a dispute?<\/strong><br>By the time I\u2019m involved, it\u2019s about looking at the contract you have signed up to in order to see what tools might be available. But even then, it is important to remember that the best legal answer isn\u2019t always the best commercial one. Take liquidated damages: once a contractor hits the cap, they\u2019re no longer incentivised to fix the problem quickly; they\u2019re incentivised to do the minimum necessary to avoid being in wilful default (which would blow the protection of their caps on liability) and keep their costs down. Owners want the asset operational ASAP\u2014that\u2019s when the money flows. So we look for ways to realign incentives\u2014even within a dispute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>There\u2019s an irony here: we\u2019re using technology to move faster, but people seem more risk-averse than ever.<\/strong><br>Exactly. The pace of innovation is outstripping our ability to pause and assess.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An interesting example is the global conversation about who can fast-track and simplify connections to the grid access \u2013 whether it is for renewable energy projects or to become hubs for data centres and AI infrastructure? In the UK, for example, if the regulatory reforms announced earlier this year could by pass the queues blocked with \u201czombie projects\u201d and so reduce a 10\u201315 year wait for grid connections, we\u2019d be better positioned to lead in this space. It\u2019s a window of opportunity\u2014but one that won\u2019t stay open long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>We can\u2019t talk about this without talking about AI. What role do you see it playing in disputes?<\/strong><br>AI is already helping us sift through massive datasets, find precedents, and identify key documents in huge trial bundles. What it won\u2019t do\u2014at least not yet\u2014is replace judgment. Our cases are often first of a kind so the issues are unique, and the solutions need to be bespoke. We can draw on our back catalogue of experience but there is no pre-existing playbook that will solve all issues. But could we see disputes arising from AI-based decisions in construction? Absolutely. And already, with drone data and modeling tech, the definition of \u201cgood industry practice\u201d is evolving\u2014just like US constitutional interpretation, the words do not change but the understanding of what they might encompass is different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What about the impact of all this on international and cross-border disputes?<\/strong><br>COVID changed everything. Before, it was unthinkable to hold hearings remotely. Now, procedural hearings are almost always virtual. It saves time and cost, though it\u2019s not without challenges\u2014time zones, connectivity, and so on. That said, evidentiary hearings and mediations have largely returned to in-person formats, because you need to look your counterparty in the eye and decide whether to trust them or see the tell signs to work out whether they are telling the truth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>To close\u2014what advice would you give to developers and project sponsors navigating these trends?<\/strong><br>Ask yourself: do you want the newest technology or the most proven one? You can rarely have both; it\u2019s a trade off. Set realistic performance criteria and understand your power needs\u2014grid access, reliability, and the energy mix all matter. Bottom line, you get what you pay for. If you choose a faster or cheaper option, you need to accept that it may require more rework and oversight requirements. Whereas if you pay for premium engineering, it\u2019ll probably take longer and cost more\u2014but your chance of it working first time are better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>When one of your cases is in need of a construction expert, estimates, insurance appraisal or umpire services in defect or insurance disputes &#8211; please call Advise &amp; Consult, Inc. at 888.684.8305, or email <a href=\"mailto:experts@adviseandconsult.net\">experts@adviseandconsult.net<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Roberta Downey | Vinson &amp; Elkins Roberta Downey, a seasoned disputes lawyer, shares how rapid innovation is transforming the construction industry, reshaping contracts, and presenting new challenges for legal teams worldwide.
