    We combine our multidisciplinary skills of infrastructure planning, design, rehabilitation and maintenance with global experience in project management, funding and finance to provide a truly first-class service.

    At Macau International Airport we provided recommendations for the strategic management of the airport and a 5-year development strategy focused on the short term requirements of the airport. This study included an asset condition survey of the airport infrastructure.

We ensured that the client, Irish Department of Transport, would receive best value and quality of services.

    We can provide environment management plans for airport operators, lenders and contractors and advise on environmental risks and liabilities as part of due diligence.

    In our role as lender’s advisor at Izmir Airport in Turkey, we evaluated the environmental and social risks associated with the construction and operations of a new international terminal.
