Infrastructure represents the foundations upon which communities and commercial activities are built. Ranging from strategic transportation networks to airports and utility services, all aspects of the UK's infrastructure are constantly being modified or improved to sustain the growth in social centres and economic activity.

This brings into play a wide range of planning and regulatory frameworks which govern the development process and, in turn, present technical and environmental challenges. Drawing upon a wealth of combined experience, on an extensive list of major infrastructure projects, AXIS can offer a range of consultancy services from within its core disciplines of planning, EIA, transportation planning and design, to assist its Clients in realizing their development objectives.

Since the Company began, it has maintained strong links with the traditional Infrastructure sectors of highways and transportation, working for trunk road agencies, county councils, airports, rail authorities and government agencies throughout the UK. However, in recent years activities in this sectors have also included comprehensive inputs to high-profile and innovative infrastructure projects, such as the estuarial transhipment of Airbus A380 wing-sets and British Salt's below-ground storage facilities, for approximately 1.3 million cubic metres of natural gas, in the brine fields of central Cheshire.

These schemes are good examples of AXIS' ability to understand, adapt and succeed in a sectors, where project content can vary from the commonplace to the unusual.
