Airports

Kier has a wealth of experience in delivering airport infrastructure contracts both in the UK and overseas from international terminals to aircraft hangars and runways. Notable projects have included the North Terminal at Gatwick and more recently the Ryanair hangar at Stansted. Kier is also part of the BAA commodity build framework to deliver some £650m of projects over five years at some of the UK’s busiest airports.

Building Maintenance

Kier offers specialist skills to the social housing, public and private sectors and works in partnership with some of the largest local councils in the UK to provide responsive repairs and a planned maintenance and adaptation service to thousands of homes and public buildings. Kier also plays a key role in the government’s initiative to bring all social housing up to ‘Decent Homes’ standard by 2010.

Civic

Much of the work Kier undertakes in the civic arena is of a specialist nature where meticulous restoration work is involved to preserve the integrity of historical buildings. Equally, new build projects falling into this category call for exacting standards of finish to reflect the status of these buildings which, for the most part, are set to become landmark examples of architectural heritage.

Civil Engineering & Infrastructure

As a company whose reputation was built on its civil engineering prowess, Kier has a proven track record in the roads, power, rail, water and industrial sectors and has dedicated rail and mining capability. Working either independently or as part of a framework or partnership, Kier brings international experience combined with local knowledge to deliver in any part of the UK or overseas.

Commercial & Industrial

From the largest of manufacturing plants and national HQ buildings to the smallest of warehouses and office units, Kier has the experience to deliver on time and budget. Whether a bespoke new build on a Kier development or an independent extension or modification, Kier has the local knowledge and technical know-how to ensure the needs of the industrial and commercial sectors are fully understood – and consistently met.

Custodial & Courts

As a sector that brings together the expertise of many of our businesses, our local knowledge combines with our technical know-how to offer a comprehensive service, from new build to refurbishment, throughout the UK. Whether operating independently or as part of a framework, Kier has much to bring to this sector, not least several decades of experience and award-winning projects as testament to the quality of work and service provision.

Education

Kier delivers innovative learning environments to inspire students and teachers alike to raise standards of achievement and transform educational outcomes for all learners.

We have in-depth experience in the delivery of acute, mental and community healthcare projects delivered through the traditional route, ProCure21 or the private finance initiative. From a local surgery to a major hospital, Kier has the ability to bring much-needed facilities to fruition.

House building

We believe that Kier’s all round experience in the residential sector is unsurpassed in the industry. We upgrade and maintain thousands of social houses on behalf of local councils and we are also taking a leading role in the provision of affordable homes for the UK.

Our expertise in the leisure market includes swimming pools, leisure centres, zoo facilities and enclosures, cinemas, theatres, museums and sports stadia and venues including golf courses and racecourses.

Overseas

Having worked in more than fifty countries over eight decades, Kier has consistently risen to the challenge of overseas contracting. Working independently or in joint venture, the company has a proven track record for bringing projects to fruition that have gone on to achieve worldwide acclaim. It is through both major building and civil engineering projects that Kier continues to earn recognition on the international scene.

Plant Hire & Fleet Management

Operating from six UK depots, Kier Plant offers a full complement of equipment including one of the largest tower crane fleets in the UK. We supply everything from marine equipment for major civils projects to state-of-the-art eco friendly site accommodation.
