We are Costain

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

There is a greater need than ever to update, connect and integrate infrastructure ecosystems to meet the needs of the UK’s growing population, address the impact of climate change, and meet the need for increased economic and environmental resilience, all while delivering growth for the wider economy.

We bring together a unique mix of engineering solutions for increasingly complex problems. Our commitment to creating connected, sustainable infrastructure is core to all our activities within our four strategic markets of transport, water, energy and defence.
