Aecom has acquired a 30% equity interest in SLC Rail, a UK-based small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) operating in the rail sector. Aecom and SLC Rail have a working relationship on multiple projects in the UK.

Two companies are already jointly delivering strategically important rail projects, including the Northumberland Line and the West Midlands Rail Programme. The Northumberland Line is the biggest third-party rail upgrade project in the UK directly developed and promoted by a local authority and is part of the government’s Project SPEED initiative to deliver infrastructure faster.
