Market Sectors

Procurement of public transportation services and capital assets is continually changing. Clients do not always have access to funding and prefer to purchase rather than provide the new services themselves.

For both purchasers and providers, new opportunities demand high levels of technical and commercial expertise, resourcing and specialist management skills. These are not always available in-house.

Strategic Lines offer advice and resources for all types of project:

• Privatisations, partial privatisations and franchising.
• Capital projects and concessions - covering a range of sectors through established and new models.
• Green field projects - new stand alone projects or extensions to existing schemes.
• Brown field projects - rehabilitations, modernisations, capacity enhancements, partial/full acquisition of existing assets to finance, renew and maintain.

Strategic Lines business support covers a number of sectors and disciplines:

• High speed and inter-city
• Heavy rail
• Light rail and urban projects
• Automated guided transportation
• Rail infrastructure, products and systems
