Omnicom Balfour Beatty

As of Friday, 17th January 2025, we reached an agreement for the sale of Omnicom to Hitachi Rail. A further announcement will follow upon the completion of the deal. Major international OEMs, owners, and operators hire us to CAPTURE their railway's condition, PROCESS ~25TB daily, and VISUALISE it. We configure our hardware and software modules in line with country regulations to deliver maintenance efficiency through survey-grade data management (0.8mm resolution). By blending laser and lidar vision systems + IoT monitoring + rail engineering know-how, we can provide 'preventative insights' after just one pass of a track. The majority of our multi-year asset monitoring contracts utilise all of our capabilities: • Automated infrastructure inspections • Improved performance outcomes + costs • Simplified infrastructure maintenance And the future? We've been optimising rail maintenance since 1989, grown internationally, and currently handle the UK's largest rail data set. But in 2020, we began scaling an emerging capability: Change Detection—processing long data periods to visualise trends, previously impossible for engineers, but AI is enabling it. Rail moves on.
