COSTAIN

Costain is one of the country's leading infrastructure companies, responsible for building and maintaining the nation's transport systems from motorways and rail to airports and ports... Our roots are in the north west, we were founded in 1865 when Richard Costain moved from his home on the Isle of Man to move to Liverpool and set up as a jobbing builder. By the 1930s Costain established its reputation as a Civil Engineering contractor with the construction of the Trans-Iranian Railway... Since then, we have been involved in many of the country's significant and challenging infrastructure projects from the Thames Barrier, Channel Tunnel and most recently the Heysham to M6 Link Road known as the Bay Gateway which links parts of Lancaster, Morecambe and Heysham with junction 34 of the M6.
