We are fully embracing digital ways of working to improve the safety, sustainability and buildability of our projects. As part of the BAM Group, we strive to become the market leader in digital technology. And we’ve invested heavily in training to ensure our people have the skills to match our ambition

Our Digital Construction Methods Include:

·         Building Information Modelling (BIM) to give us a clearer understanding of the design, so we can foresee issues before they become a problem.

·         Virtual technologies such as augmented reality to enable our project team, client and stakeholders to experience an asset before it is constructed.

·         Robotics and 3D printing to offer safer, more innovative ways of fabricating and constructing items on and off site.

ITP World

The Transportation Consultancy (TTC) was established to provide customers with an expert team of professionals that specialise in transport planning, sustainable transport, traffic engineering and transport economics.

Delivering transport solutions through innovation

Innovation is essential to keep the world moving in the most sustainable way and it’s something we’re really passionate about. Therefore, at ttc we are always developing fresh, but cost effective ideas at the forefront of sustainable transport.

Transport planning professionals

We've held senior management positions ourselves so understand the customer’s perspective when it comes to sourcing support. We offer a team of experienced professionals and practising consultants with decades of experience and integrity. And to guarantee seniority of experience, projects are always managed by a principal, not delegated to inexperienced juniors.

Flexible and practical support

ttc offers expertise at the level you require it – strategic or technical, available on a project by project basis. And because we’re results orientated, with masses of practical, hands-on experience, once we understand your needs, we get down to work.

Cost effective resource management

We have considerable experience in helping our clients deliver successful BRT schemes through understanding the problem BRT is intended to address; and through supporting scheme identification, option development and appraisal, business case preparation, the design, costing and testing of priority measures, service design, delivery and post-opening evaluation.

We have supported the delivery of several ground-breaking Bus Rapid Transit schemes in the UK including the Glider in Belfast, Cambridgeshire Busway and Metrobus in Bristol, with many other schemes currently under development.

Our experts support a range of engineering and technology solutions from designing interchanges, bus stop infrastructure, priority measures on and off the highway; to real-time passenger information systems and advice on revenue collection, revenue protection and vehicle configuration and technologies.

We are also shaping the future of transport; providing planning, engineering and design services for Curiosity Lab in Atlanta, a living laboratory for testing autonomous vehicles (AVs) and smart city technology in a real-world environment and though working as a technical assessor, supporting the roll our of the first driverless bus solution in Denmark.

Scania GB

Scania has a long experience of supplying and operating trucks and buses on all of today’s major biofuels – bioethanol, biodiesel and biogas. Unique amongst vehicle manufacturers, Scania also has a Euro6 gas-powered engine that could match diesel in energy efficiency.

Since some years back, Scania gas buses have been in operation in the UK. In combination with a growing production of biogas, this makes it possible for a large-scale introduction of clean, sustainable low carbon bus operation, based on a locally produced biofuel. And this could be achieved on a commercial basis, without any need for major subsidies.
