Roads | Transportation Systems | Education | Healthcare | Infrastructure | Back to Our Projects
We lead the way in developing infrastructure that supports communities. We provide complex transportation systems throughout the United States and Europe.
 Total-service solution based on solid finance
Balfour Beatty Investments is a world leader in complex transportation projects. We provide a fully integrated, total-service solution. First, we understand the challenge comprehensively. This means we assess both the financial and operational challenges. Using whole life predictive costing techniques, we are able to determine realistic budgets over the life of the system. This allows us to focus on the best financial scenario, not just the lower initial cost. As part of our financial assessment, we help our clients create innovative financing solutions that span the life of the system.
Excellence in large-scale systems
Balfour Beatty Investments excels with large, challenging projects. For example, we operate the power system for the London Underground, one of the largest and most complex transportation systems in the world. This system comprises 347 trains, 471 miles of track, 155 stations and $17 billion of civil assets. In the U.S., our capabilities have been enhanced with the addition of Parsons Brinckerhoff, a world leader in the development and operation of infrastructure to the group.
Design, build, and operate
With the solution in mind, we create a plan, setting up rigorous program management systems. During construction, we apply strict project management techniques to ensure that the plan is followed, and we are careful to minimize risks to the project timeline and budget. When the system is in operation, we employ benchmarking and performance indicators to ensure that all goals are being met. We also make certain that the system is following our strict sustainability guidelines.
Benefits of our approach
This fully integrated approach results in better transportation systems, completed in less time, at lower cost. In addition, because we track key performance indicators, the system is operationally sound, providing efficient transportation for the community.
