- Abstract
The challenges in finding the human and financial resources needed to restore and maintain our Engineering Heritage items are more complex than those of the past. To compete for the limited resources available requires a carefully prepared detailed plan to be presented to those organisations whose assistance we require to successfully undertake any project. The threats and opportunities that other competing and complementary projects provide need to be assessed in the project business plan to ensure that they are addressed and allowed for thus optimising the total resources available and the chances for our projects success. Some references to past engineering heritage projects are made and the reason for their successes, difficulties and failures are examined. Finally an exercise related to a potential engineering heritage project is presented for the reader's consideration.
