Our transport track record
In what was the largest single consultancy contract
awarded in Thailand at the time,
Mott MacDonald in joint venture with De Leuw Cather project managed
Bangkok’s new
£2 billion metro system, opened in 2004, which includes a 20km
section passing beneath the heavily urbanised areas of the
city
Mott MacDonald celebrated 106 years in transport in 2008 – an
exceptional record that has won us a proven reputation in
delivering consultancy services to a huge range of customers for
strategic projects covering all forms of transport by rail, road,
air and sea.
Our very roots lie in London’s transport network. Over a
century ago one of our founders Basil Mott was resident engineer
for the world’s first electric tube line, the City and South London
Railway opened in 1890. In helping run the line for five years he
won praise for its growing usage yet continuously reducing running
costs – a thoroughly modern goal. And we've worked continuously on
London's transport network ever since.
We believe our portfolio of projects is second to none. Just the
briefest cross-section of our involvement in landmark transport
infrastructure includes:
- 1908 - Blackfriars Bridge, UK
- 1934 - Mersey Tunnel, UK
- 1960s - Severn and Forth Road Bridges, UK [in association]
- 1977 - Kuala Lepar Bridge, Malaysia
- 1986 - Surabaya-Malang highway, East Java
- 1994 - Channel Tunnel, UK
- 1997 - Lantau Bridge, Hong Kong

- 2007 - Montego Bay cruise terminal expansion, Jamaica
- 2008 - Heathrow Terminal 5, UK

Sustainability, safety and buildability are key drivers in all the
solutions we develop – planned in and designed in from day one.
Effective whole life costing is another key driver – we seek to
maximise return on investment for our customers through innovative
technical and management approaches to operation and maintenance
regimes.
