Atkins strengthens global strategic ties in China

Leading design, engineering and project management consultancy Atkins and China Communications Construction Company Ltd have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) for global strategic cooperation.

THE MOU was signed on 11 April 2014 in Beijing, marking the start of a long-term partnership between both parties. Atkins and China Harbour Engineering Company Ltd. (CHEC), a subsidiary of CCCC, also signed a Global Cooperation Agreement to foster their strategic partnership.

CCCC collectively with its subsidiaries is the first large state-owned transportation infrastructure group entering the overseas capital market. As a subsidiary of CCCC, CHEC has been developing and operating the overseas business on behalf of CCCC and is a world-renowned international contractor.

Mr Sun Ziyu, vice president of CCCC said:

“CCCC is committed to further grow our business abroad, according to our mission of ‘consolidating foundations and building roads’ and the vision of ‘unblocking the world’. Having a strategic partner who can bring in world-class consultancy, knowledge and experiences will help us achieve our business growth abroad and bring synergy for both parties to unlock more opportunities.”

Prof. Dr. Uwe Krueger, Atkins’ chief executive officer, commented:

“CCCC has a strong commitment to developing the transportation infrastructure business in China and abroad as well as providing its customers with consistently high quality services and products. CHEC has an extremely strong portfolio in undertaking large scale projects abroad. Atkins has extensive experience to plan, design and deliver large scale and challenging infrastructure projects around the globe, particularly in the transportation sector. There are synergies in the service offering and we share the same value of bringing a consistently high standard of service to our client.”

CHEC has over 10,000 domestic and international employees, undertaking $10 billion worth of projects. In-depth discussions between the parties about concrete projects have already started.

Mr Mo Wenhe, chairman of CHEC described the cooperation with Atkins as vital for CHEC to maintain its leading position as an international contractor and gain more competitiveness in the global market.
