ABOUT US

From the convention-defying engineering of the Glenfinnan Viaduct more than 100 years ago to today’s spectacular O2 Arena, we have consistently forged a reputation for innovation and quality.

Sir Robert McAlpine is a leading UK building and civil engineering company.

The story of our success is written in the projects that make up our proud record of achievement.

A family-owned company founded in 1869, our dynamism, pioneering approach to construction and commitment to service have always kept us at the forefront of the industry.

We aim for excellence in design and construction matched by the highest standards of management and technical skills.

We also look to fulfil our responsibilities to the communities and environments in which we operate while working in a way that is safe and sustainable.

Our continued success is underpinned by the quality and expertise of our staff, our collaborative approach to business and our skill at providing our clients with cost-effective solutions to construction challenges.
