MTA LIRR

USA: UK-based engineering company Amey has secured its first contract in the US market, a $2·8m deal to deliver an Enterprise Asset Management Implementation System for New York MTA’s Long Island Rail Road.

Amey said its strengths in data-led integrated asset management would be key to supporting MTA in digitising existing paper-based processes, creating data visualisation dashboards for better decision making and breaking down data silos. As part of this, it will provide Hexagon EAM configuration services, data management and analytics, business process mapping, solution design and build and user guidance and training.

‘This award is a significant milestone in Amey’s journey to grow internationally, and it underscores our strategic ambition to expand into carefully selected geographies’, Amey CEO Andy Milner said on August 4.

‘The United States presents an exciting opportunity, with a clear and growing demand for advanced consulting, digital transformation and data analytics services that Amey is known for. The Metropolitan Transportation Authority is one of the most complex and high-volume transport networks in North America, and we’re proud to be supporting the Long Island Rail Road with cutting-edge asset management solutions.’

Amey opened a New York office at the start of the year, and is also re-entering the Australian market with the acquisition of consultancy Premise.
