Services

Infrastructure Management

We enable clients to make sustainable infrastructure decisions with our asset expertise and data analysis, ensuring long-term resilience and carbon efficiency.

As asset management and data analysis experts, we manage engineering projects from inception to completion and support our clients in maintaining their infrastructure assets throughout their life cycles.

We also provide environmental expertise, helping our clients understand the carbon impact of their maintenance and management decisions as well as to develop strategies that support achieving net zero targets.

Over the last decade, we’ve helped countless clients take a long-term view of the management of their infrastructure, ensuring they make sufficient investment at the right time.

Our Infrastructure Management Services comprise strategic, tactical, and operational asset management activities, including risk identification and mitigation; forward investment and lifecycle planning; carbon and sustainability planning; works programming and maintenance optimisation; technical specifications and contract support; project, programme, and contract management and asset management documentation.

Highway Engineering

We deliver extraordinary quality highway schemes sustainably, prioritising safety and collaboration from planning to construction.

Our expertise spans project lifecycles from transport planning to detailed design and construction support. We collaborate closely with our clients and appointed contractors to ensure a seamless transition from project concept to completion. With a strong focus on sustainability and health and safety, we strive to enhance each aspect throughout. 

We have an unparalleled track record of creating flagship town centre renewals; public realm enhancements; active travel initiatives; healthy streets projects; and cycle infrastructure schemes. We are committed to constructing transportation and infrastructure assets that endure. 

We are dedicated to assisting our clients in adopting sustainable solutions to maximise the lifespan of their infrastructure and minimise their carbon footprint. 

Our Highway Engineering Services encompass all highway infrastructure assets and are geared towards targeted renewals, delivering innovative, sustainable, and value-engineered solutions. 

Flood Risk Management

We lead Local Flood Authorities to deliver holistic solutions and secure external funding for mitigation schemes.

We provide client-facing services to Lead Local Flood Authorities throughout the country. Our strategic management of flood risk programmes is driven by Local Flood Risk Management Strategies that we create and maintain for our clients. We coordinate risk management authorities to manage flood risk holistically, acknowledging that water doesn’t adhere to political boundaries. This ranges from catchment-based planning and investigations following flooding incidents to the development of drainage proposals for future developments and the championing of sustainable drainage systems (SuDS) and environmental improvements. 

We have a leading role in this industry, with well-established relationships across all stakeholders, including water companies and the Environment Agency. We have an impressive track record of accessing external funding to enhance local understanding of flood risk and the progression of mitigation schemes. 

Water Engineering

We help clients secure funding with evidence-based decision-making, offering innovative drainage solutions for flood management and environmental enhancement.

From initial feasibility, our water engineering team use bespoke appraisal techniques to facilitate better decision-making based on sound evidence and hydraulic modelling. Our industry-leading approach has helped our clients to secure millions of pounds worth of external funding for their projects. 

Our team of experienced water engineers delivers traditional drainage engineering, but our real passion lies in designing innovative sustainable drainage systems (SuDS) to manage surface water and mitigate flooding while enhancing the natural environment and improving water quality. 

We deliver reliable flood risk assessments and drainage strategies to the private sector, taking on complex problems in residential and industrial sites and creating sustainable solutions that suit each client’s budget and the planning authority’s requirements.
