    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.

    Strabag’s Pfaffensteig Tunnel contract: design and delivery notes for rail engineers

    Strabag and Group company Züblin have secured the design-and-build structural works for the ABS Gäubahn Nord/Pfaffensteig Tunnel in south-west Germany, centred on an 11km twin-bore rail tunnel linking Stuttgart Airport station directly to the Gäubahn line towards Switzerland. About 9.8km will be driven by two TBMs, with conventional tunnelling for the A8 motorway undercrossing and airport connection, plus a 240m cut-and-cover section, retaining structures, railway underpasses and a grade-separated crossing. A 3km surface section will be upgraded and partially realigned for 200km/h operation, delivered under an integrated project delivery model with Ed. Züblin, Wayss & Freytag and Strabag AG sharing tunnelling, structural and earthworks packages.

    National Grid TBM under the Thames: tunnelling design and risk notes for engineers

    A 271.5‑tonne Herrenknecht Mixshield TBM, Caroline, has started driving a 2.2km electricity cable tunnel with a 4m internal diameter beneath the River Thames in Essex for National Grid’s Grain to Tilbury project, delivered by the Ferrovial BEMO joint venture. The drive will pass through variable Thames estuary ground conditions between 35m‑deep launch and reception shafts of 15m and 12m diameter, with tunnelling continuing into 2026 and overall scheme completion targeted for 2029. The new tunnel will replace the 1969 Thames Cable Tunnel and carry new high‑voltage circuits between Grain and Tilbury substations.

    Panama Canal Mixshield undercrossing: design and tunnelling lessons for engineers

    A 13.46m diameter Herrenknecht Mixshield TBM has broken through into the future Balboa station on Panama Metro Line 3 after completing the first-ever TBM undercrossing of the Panama Canal at depths exceeding 60m below sea level. The 5,600kW, 26,616kNm machine, fitted with an accessible cutterhead and more than 4,500 sensors linked via the Herrenknecht.Connected platform, has achieved peak advance of 150 segment rings (about 300m) per month through mixed sandstone, tuff, breccias and basalt. Around 1.5km of the 4.5km twin-track tunnel remains to final breakthrough.
