The company specialises in major infrastructure projects, such as airports, roads, ports, railways, bridges and masterplans in the Middle East, Africa, and Central Asia, although it can and does work anywhere in the world. Clients are from both private and public sectors, covering: multinationals, government departments and development agencies.
