Overview

Our deep portfolio includes Heathrow Terminals 5 and 2A, Dubai Airport, Brisbane Airport, the M1 Motorway, Lawrence Hargrave Drive in NSW, rail upgrades on the passenger networks of Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, Adelaide and Auckland and St Pancras International Railway Station. We understand the unique issues facing transport operators, and work closely with them and the commissioning agencies to deliver safe and fit-for-purpose transport systems, minimising the disruption to commuters and maximising the return on capital investment. 

Aviation

Our aviation projects are delivered in often highly complex ‘live’ transport environments, demanding outstanding logistics management to ensure schemes are completed on time and on budget, safeguarding the reputations of some of the world’s largest public and private sector transport infrastructure providers.  

Our expertise in the design and delivery of major airport terminals is unrivalled. Our meticulous approach to planning, design and construction has been central to the success of some of the world’s most advanced airports. Much of the work has to be completed ‘airside’ and our programme management skills are indispensible in controlling delivery of multi-faceted projects to exacting specifications, invisibly and with minimal disruption to air passengers. 

Marine

With major marine projects in the UK and Australia, we are building an enviable reputation in this dynamic growth market. Our capabilities range from heavy civil engineering to operational maintenance works, and are supported by a team of world-leading experts ranked as the most accomplished professionals in their field. Our innovative engineering services cover all aspects of port handling and waterfront infrastructure, including the installation of quay walls, bulk-handling berths and jetties, and container and material handling equipment.

Rail

As a dominant rail infrastructure provider we are engaged on a variety of projects in the UK, Hong Kong and Australia. These range from urban commuter-service upgrades to cross-country heavy haul rail lines for the transportation of natural resources and industrial products. These major multi-disciplinary projects involve programme management, civil engineering and tunnelling, track installation, electrification services, signalling, rail systems and maintenance services for scores of unique rail systems worldwide.  Through direct delivery and innovative partnering and joint venture arrangements we construct metro and light rail, underground, mass transit commuter, freight and heavy haul networks in our core geographical markets. 

In Australia our track record in the delivery of mining infrastructure, particularly in enabling the transportation of minerals from pit to port, has made us a highly regarded partner to the world’s largest natural resources-focussed clients, offering end-to-end turnkey solutions in areas like iron ore and coal export.
