This reputation has been built on the success of more than 50 varied projects including the award winning MoD HQ in Whitehall, London, the Second Severn Crossing, Chiltern Railways, ground breaking hospital and school projects in many of the UK’s major cities, the E39 road in Norway and the A1 road in Poland.
