Our clients

The global energy system is at a breaking point – and a breakthrough moment. For the first time in decades, demand is not only rising but accelerating at rates that strain aging grids and outpace traditional supply models, all while the future remains uncertain. Our advisory team helps energy providers and developers navigate this transformation and seismic shift – from policy and funding landscapes to managing the complexities of renewables integration, electrification, and resiliency planning. With deep sector expertise and data-informed strategy, we enable smarter planning, faster execution, and infrastructure ready for tomorrow’s energy realities.

Water systems underpin 60% of global GDP. Making them critical to economic stability, public health, and long-term resilience. Yet water and wastewater utilities today are balancing aging infrastructure, regulatory complexity, emerging contaminants, and rising service expectations. Our advisors partner with public and private clients to tackle these challenges with clarity and confidence. From strategic planning and regulatory alignment to digital transformation, capital delivery, and system resilience, our advisory team helps clients make informed decisions that accelerate outcomes, optimize investment, and protect the communities they serve.

Defense organizations operate in an increasingly complex and uncertain global landscape, where infrastructure must support rapid deployment, long-term resilience, and strategic deterrence. We understand the critical role that infrastructure plays in defense, as we advise military agencies and their partners on managing expansive asset portfolios, optimizing construction programs, and rebuilding critical infrastructure in post-conflict environments. With over five decades of experience, we deliver integrated solutions that enhance operational readiness, secure mission success, and support defense communities worldwide.

Investors and lending institutions are navigating a fast-evolving landscape, where strategic capital deployment must balance risk, regulatory complexity, and sustainability alignment. Beyond just ensuring the realities and risks of a deal are well understood, investors are looking for strategies to maximize the value of the assets they own. We help investors understand and evaluate opportunities through rigorous due diligence as well as early-stage technical advisory services, while shaping investment strategies that maximize long-term value. From capital planning and asset expansion to operational efficiency and portfolio optimization, we deliver integrated solutions that unlock performance across the full infrastructure lifecycle.

We collaborate with national and federal government agencies to develop, enhance and plan the deployment of infrastructure systems that drive prosperity and improve the quality of life for citizens. From conceptualizing future transportation, energy, water, telecommunications, and environmental systems to co-creating strategies for asset optimization, we advise on end-to-end solutions for modernizing national-level infrastructure systems.

For more than 80 years, we’ve partnered with local governments to meet the strategic planning and infrastructure needs of the communities they serve. We guide our clients on strategies for how infrastructure can achieve their goals, including the design of capital improvement programs that address local needs, finance and deliver infrastructure projects that transform the cultural, social, and economic vibrancy of their communities.

In an era of global disruption, digital transformation, and supply chain reconfiguration, manufacturers are rethinking how, and where, they operate. We help leading manufacturers turn complexity into opportunity through future-focused strategies that prioritize sustainability, safety, and operational efficiency. From site selection and sustainability strategy to capital planning and decarbonization, we deliver integrated, comprehensive solutions that position our clients to grow responsibly, and lead what’s next in manufacturing.

The mining and metals industry is undergoing a profound transformation. The accelerating global demand for critical minerals, driven by the energy transition, digital infrastructure, and advanced manufacturing, requires not only increased production but smarter, safer, and more ethical development. Today, industry stakeholders (investors, regulators, communities and customers) are demanding greater transparency, accountability and environmental stewardship. From assessing, preventing and mitigating asset and source risks, to identifying opportunities for strategic growth and operational efficiency, site remediation and regeneration, we advise clients in support of healthy ecosystems that communities and future businesses can rely on.

With the explosion of AI and emerging technologies, the rapid pace of the technology industry has only increased. For more than two decades, we’ve used our comprehensive understanding of how to scale digital infrastructure responsibly to help global technology companies grow and expand in 40+ countries. We bring a unique understanding of the industry’s procurement, sustainability, water and energy needs, working at an accelerated pace that meets the needs of the AI age.

The transportation sector is at a pivotal moment. The convergence of climate imperatives, digital disruption, and shifting mobility patterns, driven by urbanization, decarbonization, and evolving public expectations, paired with shifting funding challenges, demands not just infrastructure delivery, but strategic foresight and integrated solutions. From mega-ports to regional airports to rural municipalities, we partner with a range of transportation clients to reimagine their pathways for moving people, goods, and services to transform their visions into reality. We advise our clients on modernizing and financing their transportation systems at an enterprise scale to accelerate economic growth, elevate social value, and improve the resilience of local to global supply chains.
