Infrastructure​

At Gleeds, we have a rich history in resilient infrastructure development and driving value across complex projects and programmes. We work together with our clients to create better places for communities to live, work, connect and develop around the world.

Clients, Governments, and the global communities they operate in are seeking to protect and enhance their economies and advance society by investing in the improvement of critical infrastructure.

We help them to deliver projects and programmes that protect and enhance lives and deliver maximum value.

Providing services regionally, nationally and globally, we work with a diverse range of clients in both the public, private and academic sectors.

We partner with our clients in:

  • Transit – air, rail, highways and marine
  • Utilities – transmission and distribution, clean and dirty water, climate resilient solutions, communications, gas transmission
  • Energy transition – net zero, carbon reduction, nature-based solutions
  • Ports and Marine
  • Aviation – include both air and landside services
  • Natural resources – including water management and flood prevention
  • Utilities – including telecoms, power distribution, gas networks, and clean energy
  • Transport networks – including extensive experience in rail and highway assets.

Guiding clients through every stage of their project or programme, we offer high quality professional, commercial and technical advice from the initial concept, right through to procurement, delivery and life extension of assets and their disposal.

Through our service delivery and digital capability, we manage our clients risk profile, project and programme schedule and delivery methods, as well as supply chain capacity and procurement methodology. Our market leading insights team have a deep understanding of the cost trends, supply chain capacities, delivery methodologies and market trends, bringing certainty and confidence to our clients.

Global reach, local expertise

Through our network of regionally located teams we have decades of experience of delivering infrastructure projects and programmes in all major global markets.

Combining best practice with expert knowledge of local regulations and limitations ensures that our approaches and methodologies are well-suited to the local environment and capitalise on the specific capabilities of the local and international supply chains.

We apply our leading digital experience and methodologies to streamline processes and enhance outcomes for our clients. We provide the right collaborative environment to achieve the best possible outcome for their project or programme.

Creating social value through knowledge transfer

Large scale infrastructure projects have long life spans, therefore effective delivery is extremely important, but so is the long-term operation, development and flexibility of the asset that is in use for decades. Today’s infrastructure programmes must prioritise the environment, and futureproof tomorrow. Through our knowledge transfer approach, we enable our clients to not only deliver, but continue to deliver, infrastructure that is high-performing and sustainable, adding value and giving stakeholders confidence.

Within developed markets, we help clients grasp the opportunities presented by the drive to decarbonise and deploy innovative solutions that protect our planet. In emerging markets, we support rapid urbanisation and deployment to build climate resilience.

A commitment to social value is at the core of every project and programme we undertake. We work with clients to embed permanent change through educating communities to continue delivering positive outcomes after we’ve gone.

Delivering through partnership 

We take a collaborative approach when delivering infrastructure projects. We prioritise openness, communication, mutual trust, and information sharing to help our partners navigate the complexities of large-scale projects and programme.

Our partnership approach means that we work alongside our clients and partners to design and deliver bespoke solutions that have tangible benefits. This in turn builds capacity and resilience within the organisations for which we work and sees us build long-term relationships which stand the test of time.
