- With this acquisition, Amey will strengthen its capability in the area of consulting services.
- This latest move comes in addition to the acquisition of the rail consultancy WYG and that of the waste management company Donarbon.
Ferrovial Servicios, through its UK subsidiary Amey, has acquired the transportation planning and traffic engineering consultancy Transportation Planning (International) Ltd. This acquisition, the third in a year, will aid the company to optimize delivery of its strategic transport schemes across the UK.
Through the agreement, Amey will strengthen its capability in transport planning, transport modeling and traffic engineering. It will also secure transport consultancy contracts across the UK, for key clients in Central and Local Government as well as for the private sector.
Santiago Olivares, CEO of Ferrovial Servicios said: Amey has identified a clear business case for combining its own experience in delivering complex transport schemes, with TPis expertise in undertaking specialist transport planning and traffic engineering projects. This addition will mean bringing an added value proposition to the market in addition to complementing Ameys portfolio of consulting services.
In June 2010 Amey acquired the national rail consultancy WYG (formerly White Young Green), through which it added 100 skilled professionals, as well as a series of key contracts across the country. AmeyCespa acquired the waste management business Donarbon. This company is delivering a 28-year, £730 million waste management PFI contract in Cambridgeshire. In addition, it also has a wide range of waste treatment facilities.
