Maritime

Supporting defence at sea.

The infrastructure programmes and projects that support maritime defence are critical to its effectiveness.

Maintaining support for today’s fleet while preparing for tomorrow’s challenges requires you to meet immediate operational needs while planning for the long term. 

You need partners and a supply chain that you can trust to design, construct and manage supporting defence infrastructure efficiently and effectively.

What can we do for you?

As a multidisciplinary consultancy, we bring knowledge, experience and expertise from across our global business to optimise the performance of maritime defence programmes or projects.

We offer:

Clarity of vision

Our strategic advisory services help you focus on key requirements, understand blockers and enablers, and set a coherent, well-resourced strategy for meeting your goals.

Transformative delivery

We help our clients achieve a step change in project delivery, asset operation and performance, and by doing so improve operational readiness, cost efficiency and resilience.

Technical excellence

Our world-class engineers get under the skin of the unique demands of each shipyard, port, coastal site or naval base project, to design and build the right infrastructure in the right way. From digital solutions to carbon measurement, our excellence in these fields achieves better delivery for end users, frontline command and the people this infrastructure protects.

Lasting value

By consulting with end users and stakeholders, building the skills of the local supply chain and workforce, and considering the whole life of assets in design decisions, we can help you make lasting improvements for service personnel and their families, plus the communities they serve, alongside national security.

Services we provide

Engineering excellence for modern maritime defence

We work across the lifecycle of maritime defence infrastructure, offering integrated design, engineering and management solutions that support our clients where it is most needed.

Our experience

We have decades of experience working on maritime defence programmes across the globe, including more than 30 years of developing supporting infrastructure for the continuous at-sea nuclear deterrent. Our recent work has included:

  • Devonport Royal Dockyard, UK
    In partnership with Costain we are delivery partner, supporting site owner and operator Babcock, for the 10 Dock Programme at Devonport Royal Dockyard near Plymouth.
  • HMAS Stirling, Perth, Australia
    As part of the AUKUS defence partnership between the UK, the USA and Australia, we’re supporting the developing infrastructure needs for the new Dreadnought and SSN-AUKUS class submarines, including the upgrade of an existing submarine base in Western Australia to increase its capability to host nuclear powered submarines.
  • HMNB Clyde, UK
    For over a decade we’ve been a key partner to the Defence Infrastructure Organisation in delivering the Faslane Nuclear Infrastructure Continuous Availability Programme, updating the docks and facilities that service the UK’s fleet of nuclear submarines.
  • Pinto Island Naval Shipyard, Mobile, USA
    We designed a 2,800m2 administrative building for Navy personnel overseeing ship building operations. The building was delivered under a design and build contract.

Safe by Design

Safe by Design visualises a project in 3D. Hazards can be geolocated, categorised, scored and filtered. Risks are represented geospatially by hazard warning triangles. It provides a single source of information, enabling focused conversations with stakeholders. Dashboard visualisation makes it easy to set and track key performance indicators and to benchmark performance against similar projects.
