It happens a few weeks ago.

“Tell me about Madrid and Spain, how do you do it? I heard a business case that Madrid has been able to deliver the cheapest tunnels in the world…”

I did not know about that case, but my answer was simple:

“Do you know how many TMBs had Madrid at the time?”

Look.

If you want cheap infrastructure, create a pipeline.

Madrid had during more than 10 years between 7 and 8 TBMs (the machines to make tunnels in engineering slang).

They are extremely costly.

So, they happened to be in the city… and just available.

Mobilization cost?

Almost zero… compared with millions of dollars in moving one from a country to another.

Training?

Zero.

The guys there were experts.

Experts in the machinery. Experts in the ground conditions.

Same staff doing over and over the same.

They did it better, safer and faster at every time.

Same the engineers, designers, managers.

Practice is amazing.

It can make you even play the piano...

So, “yes, I have no doubt that they could have done a good job”.

Create a pipeline of projects, and this is the result.

Better infrastructure, faster, safer and cheaper.

Over, and over.

You bring and retain talent, you bring investors, builders, innovators.

Do a one-off after another one-off and you’ll get nothing but grief and extra costs.

Next time that you think of creating a pipeline… check this out.
