Unlock and protect the full potential of your assets

With over 100 years of experience in managing critical infrastructure, we are committed to helping our clients operate efficient, safe and sustainable assets and infrastructure that people can be proud of. And we understand just how challenging it is, especially in the face of cost constraints and climate change.

We manage 30,000 km of roads, look after the rail routes used by the UK’s largest rail operators to transport millions of travellers each day and we maintain complex facilities critical to supporting thriving communities.

We have a strong track record of renewing and enhancing the UK’s rail network, recently electrifying the railway on the Transpennine Route Upgrade and Core Valley Lines in Wales. Our teams are well-placed to advise on how the industry can continue to adapt and deliver electrification at greater pace, with innovative solutions designed around the UK’s historic railways and the challenges this can pose.

Having designed the ‘UK’s first’ carbon neutral road improvement project – an £8m National Highways carriageway reconstruction in Cumbria, we reduced carbon by up to 43% compared to traditional solutions and saved almost £3m.

Our innovative lighting approach delivers cost savings to clients, while significantly reducing emissions and waste. Upgrading and maintaining over 600,000 street lights makes us a leading provider across the UK.

Managing and maintaining approximately four million square metres of public and private buildings and working with major organisations across the UK, our comprehensive asset management solutions ensure that public buildings are optimally utilised, extending their lifespan and improving their performance.

Using intelligent insight to help you stay ahead in the face of climate change and energy transition, we integrate operational and analytical expertise, to ensure your assets last longer, work smarter and do more for the planet.

Our world-leading data-science capabilities are transforming our roads, rail networks and public estates for tomorrow.
