Rail that keeps people, goods and communities moving
Rail networks connect communities, support economic growth and keep people and freight moving. As demand continues to grow, clients are investing in infrastructure that improves capacity, reliability and network performance.
We help clients plan, design, maintain and deliver rail projects that balance technical excellence with operational realities, creating lasting value for the communities and industries they serve.
Supporting the future of rail
Rail plays an important role in supporting growing cities, regional connections and more sustainable transport networks. Asset owners are making decisions about new infrastructure, network upgrades and asset renewal, while balancing operational performance, safety requirements, emerging technologies and long-term investment objectives.
The challenge is not only delivering new rail infrastructure but renewing and maintenance of rail networks that remain resilient, efficient and fit for the future.
How we help
Our rail expertise
Rail projects require a wide range of disciplines working together from planning through to operation.
Our teams bring experience across transport planning, civil and structural engineering, rail systems, signalling, power, safety assurance, digital engineering, environmental services and project delivery. By combining these capabilities, we help clients address technical, operational and delivery challenges throughout the project lifecycle.
Rail projects rarely sit within a single discipline. They involve technical, environmental, operational and community considerations that need to be understood together. What differentiates our approach is the ability to bring together expertise from across transport, environment, digital and advisory services to help clients make confident decisions and deliver practical outcomes at every stage of the project.
Drawing on local experience and expertise from across our global network, we help clients access the right skills at the right stage of project development and delivery.
Where we bring value
We deliver rail projects in partnership with contractors, operators and government clients, supporting both greenfield developments and upgrades in live environments. Our experience includes working under Design and Construct (D&C) and Alliance models, where collaboration and risk management are critical to delivery.
We have worked on projects that expand network capacity, improve journey times and enable safer, more reliable operations. This includes complex corridor upgrades, station developments and network-wide systems integration, delivered with a focus on constructability and real-world performance.

High speed rail
High speed rail has the potential to reshape how cities and regions connect.
Drawing on expertise from across our global network, we support clients in understanding the environmental, technical, planning and delivery considerations associated with high speed rail. Our capability spans the disciplines that underpin major rail programmes, including transport planning, environmental assessment, tunnels, geotechnics, systems and infrastructure.
