When the founders of AMC Bridge formed our company a quarter century ago, we wanted to help clients with digital transformation – but we realized that technical know-how alone wasn’t enough. We had to develop a deep understanding of our customers – their ambitions, their competition, their existential challenges. What we’ve learned from hundreds of clients while engineering their software ecosystems holds true across enterprises. To move decisively, modern organizations need a secure, open platform that connects data, automates high-value work, and gives stakeholders clear, current context for their next moves.  Why APS matters for enterprise engineering teams  Often, that isn’t what we encounter, whether the need is in manufacturing, engineering, construction or architecture. Many teams still work across disconnected tools and from within data silos. This disconnection slows decisions and elevates risk, and it keeps the world’s designers and makers from realizing thei...

Barhale has been awarded a £16M contract by Yorkshire Water to deliver a new service reservoir (SRE) at Springhill, strengthening Scarborough’s long-term water resilience. The four-year scheme, awarded as part of Yorkshire Water’s AMP8 programme to upgrade infrastructure, will safeguard water supplies for properties in and around the Yorkshire town. Civil engineering, infrastructure and tunnelling specialist Barhale will construct a 17.3ML twin-compartment reinforced concrete service reservoir, to be known as Springhill SRE No.3, together with an associated valve house. It will replace the 93-year-old SRE No.1 (15ML) and Springhill SRE No.2 (2.6ML) to accommodate both current and future levels of service.
