Our self-delivery model heightens efficiency across the project. Fewer handovers. Tighter quality control. Swifter, steadier progress.
Operation & Maintenance
Our long-term operation and maintenance services keep infrastructure running safely, smoothly and efficiently for years to come.
Project Management
We manage projects with clarity, oversight and absolute accountability – delivering future-proof infrastructure on time and on budget.
Spotlight: Old Oak Common
A flagship rail station
Old Oak Common will be the UK’s largest new railway station. Anthro was chosen to provide the full MEPHFC systems package – delivered by our own teams and maintained for life. This is where the JV model proves its worth.
- The spectacular new station connects HS2, Elizabeth Line and Great Western routes
- Anthro’s JV model is combining Tier 1 and Tier 2 strengths for consistent delivery, at scale, across the project
- Anthro has been appointed to lead MEPHFC, fire and comms systems across the station’s lifecycle
Complex systems made buildable
The Old Oak Common project entails complex, safety-critical work that demands to be delay-free. Our systems-led delivery approach strips out friction and keeps progress tightly on track.
- Anthro teams are harnessing BIM and digital tools to de-risk installation and sequencing jobs
- All engineering decisions made are shaped by a focus on long-term safety, sustainability and maintainability
- Anthro’s JV model is driving close coordination across design, delivery and client approvals
Old Oak Common’s story so far
Anthro’s work is well underway and progressing on schedule. The station is due to open in the early 2030s, with Anthro’s maintenance role set to continue long after the first passengers arrive.
- Anthro teams have already completed major installation phases across several key project zones
- Ongoing: Anthro teams are undertaking the integration and testing of high-voltage and comms systems
- Anthro’s far-reaching operation and maintenance programme stands ready to provide long-term support
