Testimonials

What our clients say about us

"As part of a value engineering exercise, Octavius proposed the opportunity to deliver an uncovered footbridge structure, to make the project more affordable in the face of increasing material costs and affordability challenges. Octavius and design partner Arcadis produced a proposal that was better value for money and saved on embodied carbon. These benefits helped Network Rail and the DfT make an informed decision on the derogation application and proceed with this solution betterment."
Becky Gray, Project Manager

"Thank you for the work over the last few months and especially in the last few weeks to ensure that you had a well organised operation set up over the Christmas period for the OHLE works in Swindon. The team worked hard to achieve an early completion… Please pass on my thanks to the wider team."
