Building capabilities in the UK
Our expertise spans several sectors, including civils and infrastructure, industrial and logistics, and technologies, delivering outstanding results in every project we undertake.
Civils & Infrastructure
We excel in delivering comprehensive solutions across complex projects, from major excavation operations to innovative water management systems. Our multidisciplinary approach ensures seamless integration across all project elements.
Our expertise includes earthworks, site-wide infrastructure, foul and surface water drainage, S278 works, roads, tunnels, highways, bridges, and rail hubs.
We deliver extensive highway infrastructure, including internal road networks, car parks with advanced features like EV charging, and strategic junction improvements that enhance site accessibility and traffic flow. This approach supports operational efficiency and future growth while maintaining the highest environmental standards.
Industrial & Logistics
Our expert team partners with the UK’s leading asset managers, developers, and occupiers.
We are committed to efficiently delivering sustainable, high-quality structures, creating lasting value for our clients.
We build long-term partnerships that drive exceptional outcomes by collaborating closely with clients, our supply chain partners, and stakeholders.
Technologies
Construction projects such as automotive manufacturing, data centres, R&D facilities, life sciences, and pharmaceutical developments require complex, controlled environments with specialised engineering and design expertise.
STRABAG’s technical division, Zentrale Technik (ZT), supports clients’ design teams using data-driven tools and BIM, integrating architecture, structural, and building services to create smart, flexible facilities.

STRABAG UK Building Project Highlights
Explore some of the building projects we've completed as part of innovative STRABAG UK projects, delivered efficiently, safely, and to the highest industry standards.
Vertical Build
STRABAG UK has demonstrated our exceptional vertical build capabilities on a range of our UK projects, including at the Woodsmith Project, where STRABAG UK is constructing the world’s longest conveyor tunnel, and the Hartlepool Advanced Manufacturing Facility.-
Steel cage manufacturing unit
The Woodsmith Project steel cage manufacturing unit is a prefabricated steel portal-frame structure spanning 41,000 sq ft. The unit was disassembled from a project in Austria, shipped to the UK, and reconstructed on-site.
The facility houses a robot-assisted production line that manufactures ladders and meshes for the steel cages used in precast concrete segments.
Using a pre-fabricated unit reduced the management and coordination of multiple suppliers, with our specialist engineers ensuring compliance with strict manufacturing tolerances using 3D controls throughout the process.
The unit was fitted out to CAT B standards. -
Concrete segment manufacturing unit
Covering 43,800 sq ft, the Woodsmith Project concrete segment manufacturing unit is designed for manufacturing concrete segments and houses an automated carousel system with a main production line, concrete cabin, curing chamber, and storage area.
Once complete, the precast concrete segments are loaded onto a tunnel boring machine, which uses them to form rings lining the tunnel as it advances.
The unit was fitted out to CAT B standards. -
Headhouse construction
The Woodsmith Project required two 380m-deep intermediate shafts at Lockwood Beck and Ladycross. Each shaft required a headhouse, a traditional steel-framed structure built above ground, to house machinery and equipment for the hoisting system. These headhouses enable personnel and materials to move between the surface and underground mine sections.
The Lockwood Beck headhouse spans 15,000 sq ft, while the Ladycross headhouse covers 11,000 sq ft.
Additional auxiliary buildings, constructed with concrete slabs and lightweight steel frames, serve as mechanical and electrical workshops and storage facilities. -
Hartlepool Advanced Manufacturing Facility
STRABAG UK repurposed a 45,000m2 former oil rig fabrication site into a state-of-the-art advanced manufacturing facility.
Works included extending the existing structure to incorporate 8,600 sq ft of office space and 10,700 sq ft of welfare facilities, along with 129,000 sq ft of internal factory fit-out.
The development features sustainable transport solutions, utilising rail and port infrastructure to reduce carbon emissions during delivery.
Civils & Infrastructure

Earthworks, Civils, and Infrastructure Works - Woodsmith Project
STRABAG delivered comprehensive earthworks, civils, and infrastructure works for the Woodsmith Project, enhancing site accessibility and supporting ongoing operations.
The project encompassed management of 512,000m³ excavation volume with a 6m diameter cut, sustainable reuse of 300,000m³ of mudstone as fill material, and construction of extensive water management infrastructure, including settlement ponds and treatment plants.
Works also included the creation of primary access roads with an integrated 500-space car park featuring EV charging ports and the development of a new junction with a right-hand turn bay on the A171.
This project demonstrates STRABAG's ability to integrate complex infrastructure elements while maintaining environmental compliance and supporting long-term operational efficiency.
