Together, through our expertise and passion, we have helped contribute to a better society and improved people's lives with work underpinned by our sustainable values and goals.

We are an independent international consultancy and engineering company leading the way in sustainability and innovation.

In 2020, Royal HaskoningDHV and ITP joined forces, making available a deeper, richer source of skills, resources, ideas and expertise to our clients.

ITP is now a fully integrated advisory group within HaskoningDHV and we strive to work together with our clients on sustainable transport planning, both in the UK and overseas.
