Costain

Our purpose

Our purpose is to improve people’s lives by creating connected, sustainable infrastructure that enables people and the planet to thrive.

Through our smart contracting and consultancy solutions we help our customers across the UK’s transportation, water, energy and defence sectors to improve their business performance by enabling their infrastructure programmes to be safer, better, greener, faster and more efficient.

We operate through two divisions: natural resources and transportation. Within the natural resources division we serve our water, energy and defence sectors and within the transportation division, we serve the rail, highways and aviation/ borders sectors. Our culture and values underpin everything we do.

Our strategy is to focus on blue-chip clients whose major spending plans are underpinned by strategic national needs, regulatory commitments, legislation or essential performance requirements.
