ATS is the Applied Science hub within Robert Bird Group, an engineering innovation lab, where new ideas and unique solutions are born, developed, tested and deployed. 

We set out to develop a fully pre-assembled modular system that created flexible, open-plan buildings, required no temporary works to build, and could be fully relocated and recycled in the future.

Bridges cover a huge range of forms, settings, and purposes. A one-size-fits-all approach is rarely appropriate. We have developed experience across the range, from high profile architectural footbridges to purely functional temporary site access bridges.

Since our groundbreaking use of BIM in 2008 for the 100 Bishopsgate project in London, we have delivered a multitude of complex projects globally, continuously refining our tools, systems, and processes towards advanced BIM maturity.

Our geoenvironmental team’s expertise aids clients in unlocking complex contaminated sites. The team assesses contaminated land and advises on potential remediation for a range of sites, to support the due diligence process, to assess statutory risk.

At Robert Bird Group, we have a wealth of experience in delivering public and private sector highway schemes, meeting local and national standards. 

We provide specialist engineering services for complex infrastructure projects across the globe. From highways and rail to airports and marine structures, we work closely with clients and delivery partners to create safe, efficient and future-ready infrastructure. 

As cities grow and land becomes increasingly constrained, delivering efficient, integrated urban renewal is essential to enhancing communities while leading regenerative design. 

Our Pre-Construction Solutions (PCS) service bridges the gap between design and delivery, providing independent, transparent construction advice that reduces risk, improves certainty and adds value throughout the project lifecycle.

Reveal is an interactive visualisation platform developed in-house that enables project stakeholders to experience, interact with and collaborate on, built assets that are either completed or under construction.
