With globalisation and digitisation fuelling exponential growth in urbanisation,
we’re seeing a rise in infrastructure spend in the UK and around the world.
Not only are we faced with shorter lead times and planning phases, but the volume of enabling works and structures, along with the environmental and societal impact makes it an immense task.
Works on highly complex projects include extensive groundworks support, the construction of tunnels, portals, viaducts, bridges and access roads and stations. The temporary works industry is a key link in the supply chain to ensure the delivery of such projects.
