Sectors
Aviation – we have a proven track record both globally and regionally and this is a natural focus to maximise.
Rail – this is an area of high investment and a sector that we have a strong track record elsewhere in the world. This should be an area where we can achieve success.
Power – the power market appears to be more fragmented and more parochial than Transport. There should be opportunity on the larger projects, but more work is needed to uncover the pipeline and build a compelling proposition.

Programme delivery – Project controls, schedule, risk, interface, BIM management, project management type services. PMO opportunities for capital projects and asset management programmes.
