About Costain
Costain helps to improve people’s lives by creating connected, sustainable infrastructure that enables people and the planet to thrive. We shape, create, and deliver pioneering solutions that transform the performance of the infrastructure ecosystem across the UK’s energy, water, transportation, and defence & nuclear markets. We are construction, consultancy and digital partners, delivering complex infrastructure projects in a sustainable, efficient and practical way by constantly innovating and working collaboratively, integrating digital solutions to improve performance, combining with value-adding consultancy and advisory services.
Our 3,500 people manage a workforce of around 16,000 people and collaborate with customers, partners, communities and wider industry to make infrastructure fit for a better future.
Our ambition is to become a net zero business by 2035, while enhancing biodiversity and natural capital, and we have plans in place to deliver this. We are committed to procure responsibly and to be an inclusive and accessible business for all, enabling us to be our best while focusing on the outcomes that we deliver for people and planet.
Defence: In Defence & Nuclear, we deliver critical national infrastructure combining our civil and defence nuclear experience, ensuring long-term energy security and a sustained UK deterrent programme.
Transport: In transport, we work with our customers to develop and optimise the strategic infrastructure that will enable economic growth at both the local and national level.
Energy: In energy, we work with our customers on the transition to clean energy while providing practical solutions that improve the efficiency, sustainability and resilience of existing infrastructure.
Water: We work with water and waste water companies to develop solutions that improve water quality, affordability and resilience.
Why are you supporting Building Plymouth?
Major infrastructure works are required to meet future needs of the UK’s Royal Navy. To support Babcock with this work and provide construction industry expertise, a joint venture between Costain and Mott MacDonald was awarded a 5-year framework as Delivery Partner for the 10 Dock Programme and the Major Infrastructure Projects (MIP) business unit. The delivery partner role brings best practice and learning from the construction sector and provides capability and capacity through the deployment of people, processes and tools. We are shaping project management and construction management strategies to build new nuclear-standard facilities within an existing operational nuclear site and operational Naval Base at Devonport.
MIP is a once in a generation opportunity. This major programme in the Defence industry will create substantial opportunities and development for the construction professionals of the future as well creating improved social value opportunities and a lasting legacy in the area.
