What we do

Most infrastructure problems that reach a director’s desk are not purely technical or purely commercial. They are problems where a technical reality and a contractual reality are in conflict, and where the organisation has no single senior person who can hold both. Three practices, and the intersection between them.

The intersection

Independent Review and Second Opinion

Independent Review and Second Opinion is not a fourth practice. It is a mode: a short, senior, independent view on a specific question, delivered to a board, funder or executive.

The decision intersectionThree equal overlapping circles represent commercial, engineering and operational considerations. Their shared centre is the decision point.COMMERCIALENGINEERINGOPERATIONALDECISION
Commercial. Operational. Engineering. One integrated decision.

Client types

Who we work with

Infrastructure owners and infrastructure managers

National and metropolitan rail infrastructure managers, transit authorities and asset owners who need independent senior judgement on maintenance regimes, asset strategy and contract performance without building the capability internally.

Operators and O&M organisations

Passenger and light-rail operators, O&M joint ventures and concession operators who need commercial and engineering support at bid, mobilisation and in-life performance stages.

Delivery organisations and contractors

Main contractors, systems integrators and rolling-stock and systems suppliers who need contract and commercial control on complex technical scopes, and independent challenge.
