Mohindra Maini LLP acted for Tritech Rail Limited relating to the disposal of its business to  AECOM Limited.  Tritech is a UK-based market leader in rail services specialising in areas from infrastructure surveying and design to electrification.

Tritech was founded in 1999 as a permanent-way engineering consultancy and has now grown into a multiskilled civil engineering consultancy. High-profile recent projects include East London line (surveying and management); Victoria Line upgrade, London (design); Thameslink programme, London and South East (design optioneering ); Etches Park traincare facility, Derbyshire (survey and track design); Ayrshire platform extensions, Scotland (permanent way and overhead line electrification design support) and surveying for the Dublin Area Rapid Transit railway in the Republic of Ireland.

Ian Rawlinson, director of Tritech Rail said, “This is a fantastic day for Tritech.  Joining forces with AECOM unites two market leaders in rail consultancy and specialist technical services. The synergies between the businesses will bring real benefits to our clients and we look forward to driving innovation and value through all aspects within the rail marketplace.”

The Tritech Rail deal continues AECOM’s growth and investment in its rail consultancy business which included in May this year the acquisition of INOCSA Ingenieria. With headquarters in Spain and a strong presence in Romania and Bosnia, INOCSA extends AECOM’s footprint and expertise in transportation – especially high-speed rail.
