Our expertise

The immense scope of our business demands a huge variety of expertise, which we’re able to provide in-house. Adding to our capabilities in mainstream technical and management disciplines, we’re skilled in specialist fields as diverse as ergonomics, telematics, information management, cost consultancy, corporate sustainability, nuclear engineering and organisational reform. Our global resources and depth of experience also mean we’re ideally equipped to meet the changing demands of public private partnerships, PFI, full privatisation and asset transfer.

Our track record

We’ve made our mark on some of the greatest engineering feats in the last 100 years – from London’s underground railway in the early 1900s and Egypt’s Aswan Dam heightening in the 1920s to the Channel Tunnel and Hong Kong’s new airport in the 1990s. We’ve also helped provide over 100,000 MW of private sector power capacity worldwide and new water supplies for vast cities such as Shanghai and Karachi.

Our role on Bangladesh’s ‘Strengthening Health and Population for the Less Advantaged’ reform programme is one of many ways in which our technical and management expertise is helping improve healthcare in low and middle income countriesToday we’re contributing to an even greater spectrum of development around the globe. Just the briefest cross-section ranges from urban regeneration in the UK, river basin management in Central Asia, transport systems in Taiwan and the USA to healthcare initiatives in India and Africa, education planning in China and environmental capacity building in Romania.
