Transport & Infrastructure

Improve asset performance, reduce risk and increase return on investment

For the transportation sector that needs to manage:

• A growing population and increases in demand for services
• Technological change and increased regulation
• Tougher scrutiny as regulators and investors seek to review and renegotiate performance and value

A comprehensive range of sector specific services including:

• Capital asset valuation of plant machinery and equipment 
• Asset management
• Used equipment sales for releasing funds to achieve strategic goals

Take into account the fact that transportation assets are:

• Generally extremely liquid with mature global markets and predictable residual market values
• Long life infrastructure assets and shorter life mobile assets, witnessing change that has created higher levels of technical and economic obsolescence, adversely impacting upon asset values
• Material balance sheet assets

So that owners and operators in the transportation sector can:

• Maximise asset performance
• Reduce risk
• Increase return on investment
