Combining our global vision with local expertise

The world needs water. It’s essential for health, society, and prosperity. It’s part of life itself. But increasing regulations and the acceleration of climate change are putting pressure on water utilities and industrial water users. We need to change our relationship with water to protect supply for the future.

Climate resilience

As the atmosphere warms and sea levels rise, climate hazards are becoming more frequent and more severe. Even as carbon emissions reduce, the risk of flooding, coastal erosion, droughts, heatwaves, and storms will continue to increase. The earlier we can protect people, assets, and infrastructure, the better.

We bring a unique blend of consultancy, design, engineering and software solutions which address climate mitigation and adaptation. From climate change awareness, risk modelling and adaptation planning to nature-based solutions and early warning systems, we support you in every step of your journey.

Maritime

Ports are facing generational challenges - from the need to increase productivity using digitalisation and automation to climate change, the drive to net zero and a stronger focus on sustainability. Whether you are upgrading existing facilities, planning new infrastructure or optimising operations, our Smart Port and Green Port solutions can meet this demand for transformation across the whole chain of port development. We can place smart and green operations at the heart of your port and improve the efficiency of your activities through digitalisation and automation, while ensuring business continuity. As one of the largest groups of maritime consulting engineers in the world, we bring world-leading expertise in maritime infrastructure and operations as well as 35 years of experience in the Asia Pacific region.
