    Bentley Project Management’s London office: workload and risk lens for project teams

    Bentley Project Management’s London office: workload and risk lens for project teams

    First reported on The Construction Index

    30 Second Briefing

    Nottingham-headquartered construction consultancy Bentley Project Management has opened a London office in the Stanley Building at 7 St Pancras Square to support its expanding southern workload. Main board directors Jonathon Bentley and Tom Mascari will lead the launch, targeting strategic land projects and regionalisation set out in the firm’s 2024–2030 growth plan. Bentley currently has 13 live sites across the south of England and is recruiting locally, signalling more project and cost management capacity for developers and land promoters in the capital and wider region.

    Technical Brief

    • London base enables closer coordination with southern design teams, local authorities and utility stakeholders.
    • Physical presence in the capital reduces travel time from Nottingham/Manchester for site progress and pre-start meetings.
    • Local recruitment drive is intended to increase project and cost management capacity for multi-site southern portfolios.
    • Strategic land focus suggests early-stage involvement in site promotion, masterplanning interfaces and infrastructure phasing.
    • Regionalisation objective in the 2024–2030 plan aligns with clients consolidating consultancy frameworks on a geographic basis.

    Our Take

    Among the 35 Infrastructure stories in our database, very few involve mid-sized regional consultants like Bentley Project Management setting out a defined 2024–2030 growth plan, which signals a more deliberate scaling strategy than the project-by-project expansion seen in many peers.

    The presence of 13 live sites across the south suggests Bentley is already operating at a multi-site programme-management scale, positioning it to compete for framework-style work that often underpins the Projects and Contract Award-tagged pieces in our coverage.

    Locating the London office at St Pancras Square places Bentley within a transport and regeneration hub that frequently features in our UK Infrastructure items, which is likely to improve access to national clients and major public-sector frameworks centred in the capital.

    RSK–Octavius acquisition: contracting shift and delivery risks for UK project teams

    RSK has acquired Octavius Infrastructure from Sullivan Street Partners, moving the formerly consultancy-focused group into tier one main contracting across UK rail and highways, with Octavius’ 700 staff retained under chief executive John Dowsett. Octavius reported £322.9m turnover and £8.6m pre-tax profit to 31 March 2025, while RSK turned over £2.24bn but remained loss-making after 11 acquisitions in the year. Current Octavius schemes include Ryde Pier and Waterloo Station roof refurbishments, new stations at Okehampton and Charfield, and the A46 Walsgrave and A140 Long Stratton Bypass upgrades.

    Cooling design for hyperscale data centres: water–energy trade-offs for engineers

    Cooling design for hyperscale data centres is becoming a critical constraint as AI workloads drive power densities well beyond traditional 5–10kW per rack, forcing operators to consider liquid cooling, rear-door heat exchangers and direct-to-chip systems. Engineers must balance evaporative and adiabatic cooling against tightening water-stress and abstraction limits, particularly in regions already facing summer drought restrictions. Site selection, pipework routing, thermal storage and integration with district heating networks are emerging as key civil and MEP interfaces, with planning authorities increasingly scrutinising water-use intensity alongside PUE.

    Southwark estate work resumes: delivery risks and completion notes for project teams

    Work has restarted on two nearly complete residential blocks at Southwark’s St Saviours Estate in Bermondsey after ARJ Construction, which had finished about 90% of the works, went into administration in April 2024. Newly appointed contractor Bloom Construction, founded in 2023, is now tasked with delivering 40 council homes at the Fendall and Maltby site by spring 2026. The remaining scope covers final fit-out, M&E commissioning, contaminated soil removal, external works and landscaping, lift installation, play equipment and full building control compliance.
