CONNECTING PEOPLE AND COMMUNITIES

Improving rail and transit is vital: public transport is among the most sustainable ways of getting people from A to B. Better travel improves daily lives, too. Our work in planning, designing, building, and operating rail and transit systems – ones that are sensitive to end-user differences – helps people around the globe work, study, and connect with others. It’s a rewarding way to apply the data and technology expertise we believe is all-important for major engineering projects.

Our experience

Roads

Highways and roads have always played a vital role in connecting people and places, and in supporting economic activity.

Backed by extensive engineering experience, plus new and emerging technologies, we help clients around the world reimagine, redesign, and re-energize their highway infrastructure to meet current and future needs.

Leading with intelligence and engineering innovation means that our clients’ infrastructure is future proofed to gain from the benefits of automation in design, and of digital asset management, and to generate more value from investment, operation, and maintenance decisions.

We’re at the forefront of leading digital developments for the highways sector that will underpin the changing ways that people travel, such as by using automated vehicles, assuring safety, and striving for a seamless road user experience. We are also specialists in delivering iconic, safe, reliable, and long-lasting bridges, which have a special role in serving communities and boosting economic growth the world over.

Ports

Maintaining and developing port infrastructure and managing our marine and coastal environment are essential in today’s world.

More than 70% of the world’s population live along coastal plains and ships carry 80% of global trade.

With international trade forecasted to grow steadily and predicted to double by 2030, port infrastructure is characterized by a range, longevity and complexity of assets found in few other sectors.

Ports and maritime engineering require a particular expertise consisting of sound technical knowledge, coupled with practical experience in the operation and maintenance of facilities, infrastructure and systems that interface with a marine environment.

We have global experience spanning all aspects of port planning and design, marine structural, and coastal engineering as well as procurement, construction, and project and program management. Our work is helping to connect communities and markets through safe and efficient access to waterways and the open ocean.

Our diversified maritime and civil engineering experience allows us to design facilities that satisfy a client’s particular requirements while maintaining flexibility for responses to future change. Combining knowledge, talent and ingenuity, we provide experience-based solutions whether looking at the feasibility of a new facility, repairing or expanding an existing asset or providing engineering services for a green field project. Services provided include all stages of a project from scoping and concept studies, pre-feasibility and feasibility studies through to execution. We have the expertise to address every stage of a maritime infrastructure project of any size.

We don’t just design the material handling and terminal systems, but all the facility components that go in and around it, including mechanical, structural, civil, electrical, controls and automation, and road and rail. Our port engineers also specialize in the design and construction of maritime structures including: berthing and mooring dolphins, bulkhead walls, quays, jetties, wharfs, piers and maintenance platforms.

The scope of work often includes: shore protection, dredging, breakwater, land reclamation, site access, bridges, piers, berths for vessels of all sizes and supporting marine infrastructure.

Our maritime, mechanical & electrical, and infrastructure engineers work closely together to provide complete solutions to our clients.

Our coastal science and engineering specialists create sustainable shoreline designs and assess the environmental impacts of new coastal developments around the world by taking an integrated approach to the planning, assessment and management of coastal and marine environments to ensure their sustainable use and protection. We provide experienced advice on the adaptive design of coastal defense structures and landforms to prepare for a changing climate.
