Modern Methods of Construction

Transforming infrastructure delivery

Innovative pathway of continuous improvement to transform infrastructure delivery.

Achieve positive outcomes for our clients across the asset lifecycle.

SYSTRA has over 20 years of experience in developing modularised construction processes for transport infrastructure projects.

With the transport infrastructure sector facing unprecedented challenges from climate resilience, skills, technology adoption, cost pressures and programme uncertainty, MMC, as described in The Construction Playbook (2022), provides the framework for the construction sector to achieve the three aims of ‘Greener, Faster and Cheaper’ through effective collaboration through the supply network from asset owner clients to specialist product providers.

At SYSTRA, we are applying the principles of MMC to the delivery of assets in the Transport Infrastructure (Conventional Rail, High Speed Rail, Metro and Highways), Water and Energy sectors.

our APPROACH TO MMC Delivery

At SYSTRA, we have taken a systems approach to develop our design delivery framework. We recognise that designing for MMC (modern methods of construction) should take place within a collaborative environment that includes the asset owner client, construction delivery team, maintenance team and the specialist supply network.

Our approach considers solutions at the discipline level up to the multidisciplinary approach. Our framework is shown in the diagram.
