LAMBETH:
DISTINCTLY DIFFERENT
Lambeth Associates was established as the in-house engineering
consultancy of Gammon Construction in 1976. Playing a critical and
strategic design role in the operations of Gammon and its joint venture
partners, Lambeth now has over 35 years of outstanding engineering
achievements in Hong Kong, Singapore, Mainland China, Macau,
Thailand and Vietnam.
Lambeth teamwork
Lambeth’s highly-qualified team brings together experience gained as contractors, consultants
and academics working on high profile and complex projects that have been the envy of the
construction world.
Synergy and partnership
Lambeth’s close integration and synergy with Gammon, one of Asia’s leading multidisciplinary
construction organisations, and Balfour Beatty, a shareholder of Gammon, has instilled into our
staff enormously valuable practical know-how, cost and time awareness and an instinct for both
innovation and risk control. The attributes born out of these partnerships allow Lambeth to
seamlessly ‘design in’ economy, safety, and sustainability and to mitigate risk at every step.
Safety by design
Lambeth shares Gammon’s aspiration of Zero Harm; eliminating fatalities and serious injuries on
construction sites through the removal of risks that could potentially lead to their occurrence.
At every opportunity Lambeth looks to remove risks through engineering design to make projects
easier to build safely.

LAMBETH CONSISTENTLY
DELIVERS VALUE
Practical understanding of the construction process has been a special
strength of our experienced team of engineers, who have provided clients
with economical and sustainable engineering solutions.
Above all, our teams have unrivalled knowledge of the critical issues of cost,
time and risk. Lambeth’s commitment to value ensures clients save time and
money. We ensure that, from a technical perspective, construction is safe,
environmentally friendly and that the increasingly important need today
to minimise waste is successfully addressed.
The right design – first time
Working with Lambeth ensures that the design is right from the outset, so that approvals from local
authorities are secured quickly and construction can proceed quickly and efficiently. Lambeth also
responds quickly to unforeseen site challenges, developing solutions, day or night, to ensure
construction proceeds smoothly. We have demonstrated a talent for providing alternative designs
for tenders, a factor that has been significant in Gammon’s tendering success. This capability is
more important than ever.
Focusing on risk
Only consultants with exposure to what’s going on at a construction site can be truly risk aware.
Lambeth’s tight integration within Gammon means there’s close communication between
contractor and consultant, and that every aspect of risk is fully appraised. Lambeth has the same
goal as Gammon and works closely with all the contractor’s teams covering safety, production,
environment, planning, equipment, testing, instrumentation and monitoring. Lambeth plays a
central role in compiling risk registries and looks at all the key issues, including the risk profiles
of different design options, safety, pollution, work practices and the fluctuating cost of materials.

OUR MAJOR PROJECTS
From foundations to high-rises, bridges to tunnels, when it comes
to delivering demanding assignments, Lambeth’s experience and
success is unrivalled across Southeast Asia.
We have provided design support for most of the high-rise buildings that
Gammon has built. A large number of landmark buildings in Hong Kong are
supported on foundations designed by Lambeth. In the railways and transit
systems sector, Lambeth has handled permanent and temporary works
designs for a number of major railway station and tunnel contracts in
Hong Kong and Southeast Asia.
We take pride in our ability to deliver innovative designs. Gammon’s
reputation for taking on and successfully completing the most challenging
of civil engineering projects is founded on methods designed and developed
by Lambeth. We are a leader in design for major excavations for underground
works in soft ground and rock. Many of our projects are recognised by the
industry as outstanding examples of best practice. In addition, we have been
